That's what I've noticed. It's too rich for my blood now, that's for sure. DCA, here I come!

Looks a lot like the Kingsmen to me.

This is gonna be saWEEET.

I know the volume on that one was crazy too, but I remember the bottle dance being fairly clean.

It was probably a mix between the crowd going nuts and the energy running through everyone's vains. Aside: Unless I'm mistaken, that was the second to last time Santa Clara would perform Bottle Dance. They would do it once more in 1992 for their Fiddler on the Roof show.

I know Scott Johnson marched when the Devils won their first title in '76 and is an instructor now. I don't know if he's jumped from corps to corps or started teaching percussion recently, though.

The end of MacArthur Park in '75.

Just read the article and LOVED IT! But hey...why not give glockenspiel hero a try? :)

I know, right! Wait, I'm a Nationals fan...I shouldn't be talking. *sits in the corner*

We are ALL watching you.

Ah, alright. Sorry if I seemed smug. I know I wasn't around for that but...I'm a Washingtonian through and through so...I had to pipe up. :) Anyway...horray for Franklin Field! '75 and '76 were great drum corps years.

I've never heard that sterotype about Phantom people.

I'm sorry...I just can't get on board with the woodwind thing. If that makes me a bitter, caveman; then so be it. I perfer my drum corps with just brass, percussion, and guard.
