go back even a little further, Vicki Drummond Blue Rock. Late 60s

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?!!!!!!

Are you sure you want to do Texas in July? I did basic in San Antonio during July and August and it was one of the worst experiences of my life, weather wise.

Forgive my ignorance Jeff but who are the ID Guys?

Frank , got out on June 7 1977 and joined Sunrisers June 10 1977. Marched the American Flag Section -the lip was not in shape- but that was one hell of a summer after being discharged....lol

Back at you with a nice 12 year old scotch. Did Dennys for breakfast. George D. Setzer Sgt USAF 1973-77 376th Refueling Wing 18 Fighter Wing

This is really back in the day, but IIRC Boston Crusaders came in 11th in horns at the VFW Nationals in Phillie and 2nd overall.

Avedis Zildjian lived in Constantinople during the 17th century and practiced alchemy, the study of transforming metals into gold. In a stroke of luck in 1618, he accidentally discovered a unique metal alloy made from tin, silver, and copper. Avedis used this new alloy to make cymbals, and was amazed at the powerful sound that was created as a result. Word of his marvelous new cymbals spread, and the sultan requested that he make more for his elite band. As he perfected his craft, Avedis was given the honorary title of "Zildjian," which means "son of a cymbal maker." For the next four centuries, Avedis’s cymbal making process remained a family secret and the Zildjian business grew. Eventually, the company moved to the United States, and today, Zildjian cymbals remain popular with musicians.

Yeah but she married a drum corps bum....lol

Was your sister invisible?

Will DCA be around in 5 years? I haven't had the opportunity to go through all 66 pages of posts so if I am repeating someone's argument forgive me. There is a big turd dropping elephant in the room that people aren't mentioning....lack of competition. There is no drama as to who will win. l think it was Fran who said not that long ago that at Reading's Spring Preview show you could watch Buccs show and know 1/2 way through that stage performance that the season was over in May.

I know this is a DCI thread but I'm going to choose Sunrisers in 83. The show that stands out for me was DCA finals because we kicked ### that night. I was a baritone player and there were only 2 3rd baris, me on one side and Ernie on the other. It was my favorite because, after what happened to me in 82 I could leave with my head up and my pride intact. I went over to Reading for the 84 season and never looked back. I'll always be a Buccaneer.

I think Gail said 65

5th from the right....is that John Flowers the percussion arranger? If so he had some killer drum lines with Reading in the early 70s.

Token, Who Will Buy was a Hy Dreitzer chart. I know I marched Manville 68 and 69 and Sunrisers after 4 years in the Air Force. John didn't come on staff until 71.

1971 -the year I got left behind at the stadium- we stayed at Wesleyan Uni in Delaware. Before anyone goes huh???? that was the name of the town Delaware, Ohio. Great rooms and the food was fantastic!!....I can still taste the peach and blueberry cobbler.

Where was finals that 1 year in Mississippi? Biloxi or Jackson couldn't have been better then Florida. I know did time at Keesler AFB in July...the absolute worst!! Just looked it up. It was Jackson in 93...phew!!

Fran the idiotic part of the 10-Cent Beer Night is that they did it a 2nd time a couple of weeks later!!! Honorable mention goes to Comiskey Park in Chi. The infamouse "I hate disco" night....lol

i know this is a DCI thread but for some strange reason there was a disco out on the south shore that hired us -Sunrisers- to appear at their opening -Inside the Disco! Oh wait the OP said stadiums!! Sorry ...well I'm going to tell my story anyway. The manager told us not to play loud. Well the Sunrisers being the Sunrisers who never paid attention to rules, suggestions, or for that matter orders proceeded to BLOW THE HOUSE DOWN!!! Dust was settling in all the drinks of those yuppie come latelies and their faces were covered with a very fine soot. Manager got ###### and then we went out to the parking lot and popped open our Foster's oil cans and had a helluva party. My favorite venue well on topic Roosevelt Stadium despite the dust and heat was the best and If I remember correctly we had a show in 68 on our way to Detroit that was actually a rodeo pen with a gazebo in the middle on the 50 with dirt instead of grass. This was an actual competition!! Could it get any worse? Can't remember where that was...somewhere in Ohio..lol

We do know they beat SCV in percussion 19.6 to 19.0 per Dennis

Believe or not where i live now their idea of a good diner is Denny's....😝🤬

Oh God....I can't believe its over. Please, Please just one week more...please!!

WOW!!! that's all I can say....WOW!!

Lets just .......be stunned!!!

Ahhhh back in the day when we had be clean shaven and very VERY short hair....lol
