In the words of Rodney D., "Tough Crowd". :) Sorry guys, I'm all out of clues I guess.

I guess you can say she was more than just Three Times a Lady then?

I'm familiar with that region and visited the Keuka Lake area and Bully Hill Winery in 77, when the renegade Taylor had the issue with the folks at Coca-Cola. They had several employees blacking out the Taylor name on the labels. He held his ground though and Bully Hill was a survivor. The tour was almost memorable, what with the tasting/sampling, etc................

It's amazing how in our drum corps travels we spent so much time on thruways, parkways, turnpikes and missed out on Main Street USA. In my Jr. corps days, we made a trip up to Fitchburg Mass., think it was Drums In the Night, just south of the New Hampshire border. The town was straight out of a Norman Rockwell painting. Also had air you could breathe. The day of the contest, they had a parade down Main Street, complete with the banner (Animal House Style) strung across the road. White picket fences, front porches, etc. Sometimes it's refreshing to get out of the city and get a taste of the not so wound up lifestyle.

Is this the corps that during the early days wore white ducks (British Navy Style) while most of the drum corps universe wore white bucks?

Was he the guy on the show where the set was the back of a boat, and they showed the Popeye cartoons? Or was that Capt. Somebody??? OK, think I have my answer. Anyone recall this guy: Capt. Ray Heatherton?

Certainly falls into the category “They just don’t make em like that anymore”.

You're most welcome. Quite a contrast to what we see these days.

Well, that answered my question. Thanks E.

Would it be safe to say they rubbed elbows with some serious drum corps royalty.

Sorry, skull cramp in progress. Carry on...............

C2 doing Hava at 1:40. Sorry, wrong link.

Early congrats T. and many more.

Found this. These guys were pretty good and could have some fun too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3v-twt7qYdI

North Star with T.J. Doucette. Makes sense, growing up in Mass. The blue corps must be Royal Brigade because the others mentioned didn't match the uniform. I found plenty of NS pics that fit the bill, and can see why Bill thought Sun, especially with that poor quality video. But not the 72 Dream. As Andy stated, it's 78.

Would that be the daughter of a Mr. Dick Doucette?

Ah Screech. He was quite a character. And just for fun, believe it or not, Reading had a sop back then that could have passed for his twin.

Andy, you got it right. Sun I believe in 72 was wearing white satin tops with the orange and blue verticle stripes??? The guy talking was on another video with Sun in 63 at the Polo Grounds. But wow, what a move there at the 0.07 mark. The second part of that suicide wheel looked like there was going to be a tumble.

Here's something I've never seen before. Watch at 0.07. Think it's The Bucs. WTF is that move??? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XAT8204n58

Was Cru in the 72 Dream? I know they were in 71.

If that was just before St. Catherines in 61, you prolly saw our late friend Frank Buscemi with the Mardi Gras March solo. If it was 59 which was most likely not HS yet, you'd have heard his opening solo to Brave Bulls. The guys from Post 199 ate that up. :)

I think that's the Hackensack River and just south of there is Newark Bay.

I didn't post that as a GW, I just thought it might generate some stories. I guess it's not that obvious to some. All I can say is, if you were never there, you missed out on a whole lot. My personal misfortune was the 66 Dream. The old man took us all to a Mets game. WTF was he thinking?

Looks pretty good there, but like I said, that pic is from the 50's.
