Meh, not so much. The Frankenmouth parade was only about 6 or 7 blocks long. Marched in it many times.

Well, well what to say. First I never saw BSC as my drum corps days ended in 1975. BSC a merger between the Cleveland area corps Buckeyes and the Caballeros both of which I saw in previous years. Thanks for the thread BTW on rifle lines. I think we all have enjoyed watching the rifle lines in those years. The point that resonates with me is that the second tiered corps, the "Class A's", out-numbered the well known corps 40 or 50 to one. There are few photos and fewer discusions about those corps which most of us marched. It is unlikely that DCI will ever ever ever make a Legacy Collection of the non top 12 corps and those films and video tapes located in peoples closets will eventually all be throw away, mainly because the owners believe noone wants to see them. I love your enthusiam for this topic because it has brought light to a subject that in many ways is dear to our hearts, not forgetting all those wonderful drum corps and the people that marched in them. I found a couple of pictures in "old drum corps photos' thread and thought it might be nice to add them.

Argonne Rebels 1974 Argonne had a great run in the late 60's and early 70's but 1974 was the beginning of a great decline for the next ten years. The son of one of our corps founders left our corps and marched with Argonne in 1972 and 1973 and played contrabass. 1968 - 10 1969 - 12 1970 - 8 1971 - 6 1972 - 5 1973 - 11 1974 - 33
