suncontra89

Around the same time Cabs had the Bud sponsor, Sun had J&B Scotch as one. I remember going on retreats, Cabs with Bud flags, ans Sun with the J&B flags.

Yeah, I meet Fran and Jim after the parade (last performance with Sacred Heart), get back to the room and scrawled on the paper bath mat "See the manager". Something about letting someone use the bathroom that wasn't a guest! Luckily there was a vacany right across the street. The absolute worst was, the Red Carpet Inn in wilkes barre. Sun is in a horn arc on fri night DCA weekend, about twenty/thirty yards away towards the street a pickup pulls into the lot. The truck then leaves, leaving a 300 pound women urinating in front of the horn arc. Now onto the rooms....

That guy sounds like "Scully"?

How about this?

A while back someone had posted a picture of Sacred Heart Crusaders (Manville,NJ) rifle line from 74. (where I marched that year) Looking at the picture I and specificaly the "shakos" , I wondered in todays PC world how they would be accepted. The shield/insignia? on the front of the shako was silver with a black oval background with silver cross in the middle. Most corps had some type of eagle (cadets) etc. on the shako. I wonder if any of the other Catholic corps mentioned on here had a Cross on the uniform somewhere?

Lynn English,,,,in Lynne Ma.....you walked through them like a car wash...with sprays hitting you everywhere.

I'll guess red/white/blue..spirit of 76?

Should be the same year as the Sun pic on the previous page...

Hah,,memorex..... http://www.sunrisersalumni.org/1981_sunrisers_dca_group.jpg

I believe that is Franklin Field in Phila...if that gives anyone a clue.

Not sure of the corps...but I know which show it is.

Dear Fran,,,my prayers are with you and Barb at this time. Ray

Bobby Steinhilber took me here once back in the early 80's, I heard it was gone. ??? Check out the some the stuff this guy has... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22ly57ngPbk

I heard the major brewers in the US had huge surpluses, and over that summer the price of beer continued to fall!!

I'd have to say Bucs 80/81 with George Parks throwing his mace. (almost any show)

1981 SkiMask Cadets,,,,Beer Belly Polka

From Bette Midlers Mondo Beyondo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AliU5kJXWFY

I believe the SkiMask Cadets will blow everyone away with their updated version of Beer Belly Polka!!!

GREAT news to have Greg back with the corps.

Didn't anyone take a video of the Kingsmen at the NAMM convention?

See Mike Klesch describe valve/rotors......and they won on those.

Why doesn't someone test a G vs Bb on a decibel meter?

Bump...!

Agreed,,,bump...

Boy, some different ends of the spectrum on here. I do like the comment from PR guy about "warm air" , especially for low brass. I do disagree with those that discount the diaphragm, vocalists also use excercises for support of pitch, etc. "Your only as strong as your weakest player" , relates to playing "down" to them. Which of course for balance and blend has to happen. But it almost sounds as if some are admonishing the strong player for playing loud. How about trying to get the weaker players to play stronger? Sometimes all it takes is mixing them in amongst stronger players. A horn line(brass player) is like a stereo, you turn the volume up to 10 then back it down to where it's not distorted. Over the years I've seen brass lines late in their season have their staffs try to "open" them up volume wise. Figuring once they were comfortable with the show etc., they could open up. Only to hear bad attacks,,,splats,,,etc. all over the place. Their chops couldnt handle it. Anyone else ever see this?
