Northern Thunder Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 Stu, You mentioned the Sleepy Eye Drum & Bugle Corps. About 25 years ago the son of Sleepy Eye's immortal director, Pinky Schroepfer, sent me a box with the musical arrangement Pinky wrote for drum & bugle corps and concert band way back in the late 1940s or early 1950s, entitled "Jubilesta". They also sent all the old Minnesota American Legion state contest recaps going back to the 1940s. Long live Sleepy Eye! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Thunder Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 (edited) Yeah, those are some interesting charts, Jim! Pinky Schroepfer was a national legend in drum corps WAY back. He died in 1997 at the age of 92. He wrote quite a few things so that his drum & bugle corps could play concerts with regular concert bands. The city of Sleepy Eye, Minnesota held concerts every year featuring the corps and the concert band. Pinky was even inducted into the 1992 class of the Minnesota Music Hall of Fame, (along with famed rock singer Bobby Vee).
