Lets see......Drum and Bugle Corps drum ( P ) Pronunciation Key (drm) n. 1. A percussion instrument consisting of a hollow cylinder or hemisphere with a membrane stretched tightly over one or both ends, played by beating with the hands or sticks. 2. A sound produced by this instrument. bu·gle1 ( P ) Pronunciation Key (bygl) n. Music A brass wind instrument somewhat shorter than a trumpet corps ( P ) Pronunciation Key (kôr, kr) n. pl. corps (kôrz, krz) A body of persons acting together or associated under common direction. Nope......no listing in the dictionary about woodwinds or electronics included in the diffinition of DRUM and BUGLE CORPS. I remember when Marching Bands wanted to copy Drum and Bugle Corps and now Drum and Bugle Corps seem to want to copy Marching Bands. GABA

It was not only the color guard, but the whole Corps. I have witnessed this on a few occassions. One was when this older kid told his friends what he was going to do and he then ran past a Sop player, and then started laughing. The Sop player, without missing a step, went up to him and grabbed him by his shirt and pulled him back through the line. No words, No head turns from the rest of the Corps. They just kept marching. I am sure that guy still remembers this. GABA

That's Tim Benge! I think the photo is reversed. GABA

The Anahiem Kingsmen, DCI's first Champion. :angel: Gaba

Yes the photo is mirrored, look at the emblems on their chest and hat, should be on the left side. GABA

I heard they were changing their name to be "The Los Angeles Kingsmen of Anaheim" ^OO^ GABA

I have been to XKingsmen.com and read some of the posts there. It seems that alot of people don't care for Rocco. Why? Is he that bad? I have read in other sites and newsgroups that he was a great horn instructor. I would think you would want to have a great horn instructor, along with a great percussionist if you want to be competitive. Just my 2 cents. GABA
