BD switched to Bb in 2000 and never marched a mixed key line. We used Kanstul marching Bb tubas in 2000 because Dynasty only had little peashooter tubas at the time.

We had to give them all to DEG-Dynasty as part of the contractual agreement when we switched to Dynasty equipment in 2000.

1986 Blue Devils

2004 Blue Devils

1974 Muchachos

BD still does. It's a special feature on their "Inside the Blue Devils" DVDs.

1999 Glassmen

While the entire show was not scrapped, your statement is inaccurate. We re-wrote the drill for Ragtime, including adding the pit intro and the tag ending. Some drill did change in the first half of I Got Rhythm. All of the music and drill from the sop duet (excluding the duet itself) until the beginning of House of the Rising Sun was new. Some of the drill for House through the sop pedal was different, as well as the sets going into the big hit. The drill from the end of House to the end of the show was new, along with too many musical changes to mention. I know, I was there.

Since I'm a professional French horn player, I no longer have any use for my Getzen flugel. I haven't played it in three years and will probably never play it again. It's in great condition and plays very well. I used it to keep my mellophone chops up in the off season and when I wasn't able to take a mello home with me. It goes for just under $1100 new at Dillon's music and the Woodwind and Brasswind and the reserve price is less than half that.

THANKS. I couldn't remember who was red and who was white.

1992 Glassmen

1965 Maumee Demons (right? Can someone confirm that?), soon to become the Glassmen. Regardless, this is the corps that would eventually become the Glassmen.
