How's the rain Kevin? Looking at the radar it appears that your getting drenched..

Two words... b**bs CHICKEN DANCE!!! b**bs :mmm:

Skyliners??? :P

Marching on ice... 27th Lancers, 1980 Winter Olymipcs Reading Buccaneers, 1980 DCA Champions It's all starting to make sense now...

Yup, it was a flag... It was 1980 in the Meadowlands, the guard did a flag exchange OVER the Drum Line (what a GREAT idea). If you heard a CLANK, you knew that something was going to fall onto you head. However, this time the flag stuck staight through the xylophone. I can't remember who the girl was that was playing the xylo, but she just kept playing and marching. Eventually a judge came up and asked her "does this belong here?" She shook her head "NO" and then he asked "Would you like me to remove it" and shook her head "YES" and continued her show. B) In 1981, George Parks was suppose to catch the mace in the middle of a circle of Guard members (I think it was an exchange with Daryl). The mace was off target and George had to run for it. As he ran, he tripped over a Guard member's foot and fell flat onto his back. As I stood nearby playing Contra, I watched the mace FALL into his hands as he laid on his back on the field. It was at that point that I realized that George Parks was not of this planet!

You're right Jim it was the 1980 American Legion Campionships in Boston. Reading had gone on early in the show and then the sky opened up with a downpour. The show was stopped and we assumed that that was the end of the night. So we went back to our rooms for a little something to quench our thirst. :mmm: However, after a while the storm had passed and the show resumed. We were staying in the College dorms at the end of the Stadium, so we had a good view of the field as the contest continued. As I sat at the window finishing off another cold one, Westshore was finishing up their show. In an attempt to play up to the American Legion crowd, Westshore unfurled a GIANT American Flag across the field at the end of their show. Unfortunately, it was upside down AND backwards (the stars were in the bottom right hand corner)! :sshh: As the beer came out of my nose and slattered all over the window, we developed the Westshore Salute. b**bs It is a left handed, upside down salute which is still exchanged between Reading's 1980 Alumni. Some things are too funny to make up.... Thanks for the memories WS. P.S. The Doves were pretty funny too. (Birds don't like to fly at night!!!) :P

I saw this topic in the DCI forum and I though that it would be "fun" to start the thread up here. So let's hear 'em....... I'll add my 1980 VFW appearance by West Shore to the "All Time Greatest" when I have a little more time to tell the story as I saw it "unfold". :P

BONE are 1/2 point down from East...... Time to wait and see.....

Maybe tomorrow night, but not on Sat.
