Colts members wear a triangle and shako link. Color guard members also wear a little metal feather in the memory of an alumni who pasted away in a car accident on the way to camp some years ago.
Unless you are from the pre shako era, like me. You get a triangle for every year marched.

My Colt triangle is always around my neck, at every drum corps show.

Didn't Kilties hornline start their show in the early 70's (72 or 73) sounding like bagpipes?
Sounded pretty close from what i remember.
As our Lord and Master Ken Norman always taught....good players play out of tune, bad players play louder.

That's a gaida, not the bagpipe that was referred to OP.
-
And you could certainly sample the sound and use the karaoke drum corps method of today OR use a real kid that plays the pipes, on an electric one.

Google search The Edinburgh Tattoo.

You're delusional if you really think that 99% of the "Old Timers" (T-Rex's) are paying money to watch "Marching Broadway Musical Theater" on a football field. It's mostly high school and college marching band kids and their parents. Former "Old School" Corps members and fans are so turned off at the current state of the art that they're not going anywhere near a show...........
Or we just go and tailgate with our friends. Watch what we want to see, drink what and where we want to and have some stadium nachos just one more time, for Auld Lang Syne. Honestly, I have been doing this already for decades anyway, but now I have an excuse.

And those of you that want to use Uber for the first time, please use this code: SWEL4, for a first time rider discount! Or the code: DALE790220 for Lyft.

The cost of LOS does not warrant the return. Michigan City is sort of the prefect size for OC. The stands are full and it's a fantastic venue for drum corps. LOS would make the 3000 that show up for OC Finals look like no one. I think the corps sound better there than in LOS
Yep.

I just heard there was a mistake. I think that's supposed to be River City, not Raiders.

Not sure what are best source for live score updates is. Hopefully, someone there will post as they come up.

It is so much more entertaining to watch the younger corps than the premier league. They work as hard as any of the top 5, play MUSIC THAT YOU CAN ENJOY, and really entertain the crowds. FTR....GO !

GO !
It was worth the wait to see you on tour! Thanks for coming to the Milwaukee area and good luck in MI City and the rest of your tour! A shout out to the Zylinger boys: great bari solo and great job hauling that massive contrabass tuba around Dean! I am so proud of you both, and indeed the whole corps!
-
That's not a really big deal----The Kilties regularly perform without pants!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Important to note that we ALWAYS wore something under the kilt....socks and shoes...and spats of course! LOL!!!
