  1. Lancerfi sent me this photo and asked that I post it up for her; Mr. & Mrs. George Bonfiglio taken in 1994;
  2. My sincere Condolences to the Bonfiglio family as well as the 27th Lancer alumni. George B. was a good man and made many impressions on young individuals back in the day. I'll never forget his speech he gave to us Crossmen members back in the summer of '79. Rest in peace George, and may your spirit live on in drum corps always.
  3. Maltese Cross that was on my hat; A Porcelain doll that my mother (RIP) made for me. She even poured the porcelain, painted it and made the clothes. She also made one for LancerFi... A North Star sticker that was on their hats;
  4. Well, if you include woodwinds in Drum & Bugle Corps, then obviously the name should be changed to MARCHING BAND, because that's what it would be. Might as well crank out the stupid Trombones while you are at it! I would rather see drum corps DIE than to see MARCHING BANDS compete in the summer AGAIN. It's enough I see it all during the fall. I need a break, something refreshing like.... DRUM & BUGLE CORPS!
  5. All I have to say is, God I hope not! I want marching band to be different from drum corps and vice versa.
  6. It's ashamed that so many years aren't even in your Poll! Some very good shows back in the '80s that revolutionized drum corps today! True, the drills didn't have the velocity that corps do today, but hey, it had to start from somewhere and I think the '80s really pushed DCI into the right direction. Don't be so quick to dismiss shows that started what is today.
  7. It's looks the same to me.....which is a good thing. I wished some other corps would stick to one design with very little change not to disrupt their style or identity. That's what I like about corps from 30 years ago. Uniforms didn't change so drastically and you knew which corps was who. Simple, but not so outlandish. Just my 2¢
  8. While on tour in '81 I acquired a Gerbal.....long story how, anyway, I had her in a cooler under my seat as we went through that customs station at the border. When I got back home, she had babies. Kept her for about 5 years until she died. We too were told not to speak unless spoken to and don't say anything more than yes or no. Geez, you'd think we were rolling into Russia or something.
  9. You guys could figure it out....it's not that hard.
  10. As much as I like Birdland, I do think it's one of those songs that should be put on a shelf and locked in a closet for 20 years. I'd like to see Crossmen bring back Jack Miraculous. We had a good time performing to that.
  11. Mike, I marched in '81 too so I know your frustration. I was able to obtain a copy of our finals performance from a staff member who did the video of the corps. However I did find a DVD copy of the prelims performance (high camera angle) of SCV, Cavaliers, Blue Devils, Troopers, 27th Lancers, Crossmen, Bridgemen, Guardsmen, Garfield Cadets and Spirit. Since it was first recorded from a VHS then converted to DVD, it's not the best copy, but it is a RARE copy. Do you have that? It does suck DCI only sells the MidWest version on the Legacy DVDs. I know our show changed so much musically and visually from Whitewater.
  12. I wonder where this baby is today? Did he march?
  13. Poor Jeff! Guys were playing football that day and they jumped on "Sasquatch" but his leg was on on even ground that resulted in a broken bone. We all really felt sorry for him, but was glad to see him standing at attention at the goal line.
