Lets load up some votes for old school entertainment!
I vote 1979 North Star for CC 2007!!
Let the Chrome Wall Live Again!
How and when can you vote for a corp?
-
Look like an Elks or Moose lodge. Im sure they have those in Wisconsin.
-
Yeah!!!! Girl fight!!
Nice job on the carpet.. Are these the new Hoovers? :P

As I've stated before, when I was a young 'un, Troopers were my dream corps. I would
have run away from Revere and journeyed by covered wagon to Casper to march with them. Alas, I became a sea-faring man and then a Brit, as was my fate. (no regrets).
I love the Troopers too. Its great to hear that they are back. It would be wonderful to see them in the finals.

He was the guy who chased the Native American color guard judge out of the stadium at Trooper's home show! (Troopers beat out 27th for best color guard at their home show in 1976; the caption was judged by a native American in full headdress!)
We hired Captain Theodore Hornblower to have the judge run out of town! b**bs
The old days. I think in '76 Wyoming was still just a territory.
The Indian Chief, "Judge" may have had some type of "treaty" with the Troopers, involving a pipe and some beads perhaps??
Wikipedia states, "Wyoming extended much suffrage to women, at least partially in an attempt to garner enough votes to be admitted as a state. "
I guess in '76, it was 27th's women who experienced some of this "suffrage". ( Had to be painful )
Wyoming was granted statehood in '90.
They have a road thru the mountains called "Dead Indian Pass" ("We hired Captain Theodore Hornblower to have the judge run out of town!" ) b**bs
:)

you people are all wacky :P
This may have been the judge.
:)

Nice arrow exchange. High degree of difficulty and Exposure to Error, one would imagine.
Guessing right after original sunburst. :sshh:
Great field coverage. b**bs
Percussion section already on bus. B)
-
Early flag tossing b**bs
Could be Troopers ???
-
How about all corps keep their uniforms as is, but they all march the same drill.
-
No.... it somewhere in the Revere City Yards !!!!
Thats funny... So the pole did make the trip back from Montreal. Was it disguised as a chime ?
-
I forgot to mention that the sign was still attacted to the ten foot pole it used to reside on at some street corner.
It was amazing the stuff that came off the bus after a tour, that was not there before tour. I think we even had people on the 04. The Beatles Mystery Tour Bus had nothing on the 04. Is the 10 ft pole still attached?
-
Or just a regular Trojan "helmet" b**bs
The Purple helmets, Firemens helmets, used by corps all summer, maybe after practice or on "free days". I do not want to see under my tree. :sshh:
I would like to have an old Regal Crownsmen Crown with the feathers. Didnt like them at the time. Marching into the wind in a parade carrying my tri-tom was not fun. Does anyone remember those hats? We looked like the Mummers or peacocks.
-
Its not a Drum Corp head piece, but a USC Trojan band helmet would get you noticed this Holiday season.
-
04 memories.
How about boiling the 04 seat cushions after tour to make a chowder for
b**bs
-
Spoolie, ??? Never heard of it. Maybe its "Sloopie"? As in "Hang on". Remember that?
:)
-
OK, if Santa leaves a corps head covering actually worn on the field by a drum corps - past or present - whose would you want to find under your tree and why?
My first choice - Belleville Black Knights - the coolest helmet ever
Second choice - Santa Clara - I look good in an Aussie! (Size 7 5/8, please)
Your picks? <santa>
Easy, I want the full set of Busbies, I'm asking alot, but Ive been very good this year, and Why ? To me they are a symbol of the Best the activity has to offer. When you saw those hats coming, you knew you were in the presence something special. Wow , what a Christmas. I may need more than one xmas tree. Because then, I'd like any of the 1970's St. George Olympian rifle hats ( with Olympian would be real nice, Santa ). What were those hats called?
I remember in the late 60's saying to my friends as their guard marched by, " I think I should join that corp."

It also looks like he's the only one not using a music lyre.
This is a cool picture. I found Waldo. He's sitting on the left side of the photo, leaning over talking to the Grim Reaper. :)

HAHAHAHAHA!
....must be a little warmer at Mote Marine Lab:
80's again... Sat in pool and had a few martinis. Worked on my fantasy football teams and added a few catroons to your thread. Full day having fun.
-
Memphis Blues ??? :)
-
Somewhere today in Fond du Lac. :)

You might be old if you watched St Ritas Brassmen and St Andrews Bridgemen perform at Madison Sq. garden 1970 Evening with the Corps.

Well wonders never cease...we do have something in common. :P We had gator and we liked it and I don't mean the Florida Gator football team.
Much better to have gator, than to have gator, have you. b**bs
I took a few steps down the food chain moving to Florida.

Well, as long as we're talking Denver, my favorite competition was at the Casa Bonita.....to see who could eat the most sopapillas
