That's right!!! Poor, poor Craig......... See if either of these ring a bell......... "Where are the busses?" "Hey Augie, can I have a sip of that?"

Wow. These stories seem to get more and more fantastic every time they are told. Chad threw down the plaque at retreat and a horn player chopped it in half with the battle axe?! Let's get this story straight. I was there too. At retreat the battery was up in front of the horn line in the block, just behind the color guard, so we had a clear view of exactly what happened. Here is what happened. At retreat, when they announced our score, Chad ran over to the Troopers block, grabbed the gun out of the Trooper DM's holster, ran up to the judges and shot them all in the head. That is why we didn't make finals. Peace

Hey Hose! it's about time you got on here! (by the way, I don't get the 2001 reference....) Hey Scotty, You and your brother are doing the Kingsmen Reunion Corps? That is awesome! I saw you guys at the Walnut show. Pretty sweet, and pretty clean too! I can't wait to see it at Finals next summer! I am very good friends with Don Nieman (we were roomates at CSUN and Don was responsible for me getting the CSUN caption head gig way back in 90) and he told me all about Grant and Gary and those guys. Tad was my very first drum instructor and Dane was the caption head at CSUN when I joined. Dane also helped me prepare my audition that got me into CSUN. We all miss Dane......

Wow Todd, you are really opening the door with the call out to 87! What a great year. Almost all of us were rookies, looking to the few vets (Pat, Alex, Jeff, etc.) for guidance. Everything was new. My favorite memory from 87, (besides hearing the hornline play Born Again for the first time in the gym at the memorial day camp, and having a cemetery take up the back portion of our rehearsal field at our Nats housing) would have to be our one victory concert. It was some show in the midwest (Pat, you and Dave can check me on this) that McDonalds was sponsoring. We won the show by beating the Bridgemen and the Diplomats. We were so excited that we were going to do a victory gig! After the show, the whole crowd left, except for a few people, and the janitor, who was sweeping the stands. But ######, we did it anyway! Great memories.......great friends.....great times.

Hey Jason, things are well here! Pat, miss you too, man! We will have to hang if I am ever in Atlanta! Kelli, do you see Don? If you do, give him my best! I usually see him about once a year at WGI finals. He always looks great!

Other things that stick out from 89: -cemetary hypes -Getting screwed at Allentown and closing the flaps. -horline wamring up at Allentown, playing the ballad and having the fireflies light up -Richie making the hornline loud somewhere in Ohio, and blowing the staff away with the power we never thought we had -finding that unique bumper sticker for the back of another corps bus (the corps and bumper sticker shall remain nameless) -"The back of the bus hates the front of the bus, and the front of the bus hates the back of the bus... but everybody hates Bill (our Drum Major)! -Charlies big hat (business hat on!) -getting stuck on the brdge on the way to Concord, and getting to the show just iun time to put on your uniforms and play -being yelled at by the old lady next door to the high school for being too #### loud... and laughing at the fact that she didn't know she was really paying us a huge compliment -Having Suncoast Sound hype us while we were playing ET at Finals retreat (thanks Suncoast!) -Tuna -Montreal free night (whatour parents don't know what hurt them.... 18 years later) Passing a cemetery hypes me to this day. I still can't eat tuna. Sure, there are so many great memories..........but Montreal............. yeah...... In 91 we drove 8 hours out of the way to get there, and a day and a half out of the way on our way back on a free day, just to go back to Monteal. Good times.

Hey Pat! I knew that was you! It has only been, what, 18 years! Yeah, I taught the pit in 94 under Ralph H. In 95 I was Caption Head. I hired Murray Gussek to do the battery. He was rehearsing drumline members in SAC while I was rehearsing members in So Cal. We had a pretty good line happening....... it was going to be sweet.......... then the roof fell in.......... It is nice to see the Freelancer drumline competing in WGI, though. The uniforms this season were pretty awesome. The red shirts with the little "flap"....brought a little tear to my eye...........

What's up Freelancers?!?! Man it is cool to read these posts and relive those memories! Thanks Todd for telling me about these postings! I miss you, man! Yeah, Jason, I think we did yell "Play Ball!" at Finals (or was it semis?) in 89. How about the corps chanting softly, "Sac........is.....back..........(pause)........Sac.......is......back......" as we marched to the field at shows that year? All the hard work, all the pride and all the heartache of the past three years was all contained in those three words........
