Hmmmm, let me think about it..... NO! As we used to say back in the day; the East is nice, but WEST is best.

HA! "silvertrombone", bet you wouldn't say that to their face.

1974 Anaheim Kingsmen and 1976 Blue Devils

If they allow woodwinds I wouldn't leave Drum Corps, it would be Drum Corps that left me.

The center Rifle you speak of is Katie Hill. She was, and I'm sure still is, absolutely gorgeous.

Anaheim Kingsmen Rifle Line, 1977 Dang, somebody did not waste any time.

May I take this opportunity to say this was a fate never suffered by the Anaheim Kingsmen rifle line.......? Thank you very much.

The "Greatest Marching Band in the History of the Universe" (e.g. University of Southern California) would never compete in DCI because their Director, Art Bartner, hates Drum Corps. Oh, and you forgot to add the Kingsmen to the top three.

Stanley Knob is really spelled Stanley Knaub (RIP). Stanley taught SCV - both guard and M&M, helped formed WGI. His ex-wife Debbie marched SCV and taught 27th during the winter of 76-77. Staney also marched with the Kingsmen as a mellophone in (at least) 1970 & 1971. He left Kingsmen and went to SCV in 1972 (opps). He taught the Kingsmen guard at various points. The opening flag/rife OTL file the Kingsmen guard did in 1973, and in 2007 by the Kingsmen Alumni Corps, was designed by Stanley. He was taken far too soon.

No, it reveals it.

I remember people complaining back in the mid-70's when uniform inspections were done away with. Those who march and instruct now should dictate what the style and rules are. It's their activity now and up to them. And up to us if we want to watch it, or support it.

Your attitude is coming across loud and clear, but probably not the one you intended to convey.

Not all of us, just the rifle line.

I'm shocked they did not win. I guess 5th place in drums was their downfall. Nevertheless, congratulations to Phantom and their fans.

I understand, but I like it nonetheless for the reasons stated.
