    Dad always said a copy of the Sears and Roebuck catalog was kept in his grandparents' outhouse for "reading or other paper related needs."   He also mentioned that in the winter if there were only the shiny pages left, it was terrible.

    No job is complete until the paperwork is done.

  2. Okay, if memory serves me right it WAS Michigan City! We had performed our show and we were on the sidelines watching 2-7 perform. At the end of their opener Crown Imperial the first sustained note by I’m guessing French horns and not mellophones, one of their spotlighted horn players hit anything BUT the note they were supposed to hit. Awkward! Someone in our drum line recorded (Thanks Liz) that performance which we played on the bus for a long part of that tour. We shared it with 2-7 along the tour which brought the two corps together for the rest of the tour. Hence the love affair of “Doris & Rex”

    we forged a lot of love and respect for 27th that year…and to this day we hold that love and respect for our competition from the east coast!

     

    I apologize for veering off topic.

    There used to be midwestern regional in early 80s.  One of my favorite Drum Corps memories was big thunderstorm rolling through in 1982 hour before evening show (was a prelims/finals format).  After the storm passed but it was still misty, 27 was rehearsing Danny Boy off in the distance.  Absolutely magical moment.  

    I have a story about 27th’s Crown Imperial circa 1975 1976 -ish. Michigan City Show. Anyone here old enough to remember back then? Terri you are too young to remember this.
