Velvet Knights.

DCI did get back to me and said the ageout ceremony will be up on the Fan Network in a few days! There is also a vid up, from an individual, on that video site we used to not be able to mention. Just search for DCI Age Out Ceremony 2013 and it will appear first in your search.

There is talk of putting together a Phi Mu Alpha drum corps for nationals. That would be a fun event and quite able to be done.

I am glad I was able to get some stills, as once DCI put the corps links up, just this morning, the live link and age out ceremony is now gone. Hopefully, they will put it up in the vault section.

Great coverage of us on the DCI Fan Network! And to the Cavalier age out that stole that riverboat gambler hat off the pillar in the tunnel, they have a nice closeup of you wearing my hat at 9:38:33! BUSTED KID!!!! doncha just love drum corps.....give it a good home!!!

You got that right! Last time I did this, it was in Madison in 1992 with the original midwest alumni corps..The Kilties!

I hope they win! I am going to raise a glass, to my brothers on the other side of San Jose and be happy, because it came back to California! OK, I will be raising a glass anyway, one might as well be for them! GO BLUE DEVILS!

There you go!!! Too many auld comedians on here! Yes, the Orange Bowl, from field level at the end of the 83 Colts show. Now, who is that young national champion baritone player?!

Santa Clara will rise...but who will fall?

It really is like falling in love all over again!

Colts Alumni Corps Indy Tour Colts Alumni have been invited to perform for several events on Friday, August 9th at DCI Championship week. This is an alumni only event, so if you are a Colt, click the link and fill out the survey!

There has always been a close connection between Santa Clara and Madison. Let it stand for what you want it to stand for. We know what it means!

Well said, old friend.

Summertime!

Kenny Norman, weren't you on staff with Pioneer that year?! Maybe they knew you. Still, no one has named the stadium. Anyone...Bueller...Bueller....??!!!

Here are some pics of the massed hornlines:

There are still a couple of pictures that have not been figured out yet. Who is that baritone player and what stadium is that. Surely someone on this board must have done nationals in that pretty famous stadium.

yep!

Memorial Day parade in Dubuque, 1983. The band kids marched with their local HS bands and then formed up and marched with The Colts. Hence the varied uniforms.
