Good lord, somebody remembers the Railmen!
Hey everyone. Bill Trulove! Good to see that you are still out and about. How is life treating you?
well, since we are sharing favorite memories:
93...93 was tough for me...####, I was uber-rookie. I sucked.
94...getting chewed out by some Governaire's members at DCM when we beat them. Reading in DCWorld about us this exact quote: "...this corps came prepared, and it showed!" after we learned the closer drill the night before. Meeting some guys while marching at Bluecoats in 96 who had seen us at DCM and were the kids in the front row going nuts at Bill and Dave's solos in "What is Hip?"
95...Bar none, the toughest summer of my life, but I learned more, excelled more, and made better friendships that summer than the other 3 years I marched. Brass warmups in all of the fun places we had them...on the footbridge in Kansas City, on the dock in Grand Haven, Michigan, etc. Of course, the Monty Python Brass Ensemble, getting a 9.1 in performance brass with 9 horns. Favorite quote from a judge at DCI Prelims..."Oh...#### mellophones."
Well, glad to see some Railnerds out and about. Look for me at the Railmen Yahoo group
