"hairbear" is Steve Masters...
... therefore, "Highlander" is the Scottish term for Hillbilly.

I remember the 8-footers being cut down to 7' in the mid-60s. Then a half-decade later, they were being trimmed down to 6'.
Hey, anyone wanna buy a boxful of slightly used leather flag slings? They have the diecast aluminum inserts, so you won't tear out the stitching when you do all those presents.

All the articles I remember had the WF show on a Sat
The Worlds Fair show was quite an unusual format. It was held over the course of several days, AM & PM, two corps per shift. St. Lucys and the Kilts were on back-to-back one afternoon. There was NO grand finale, it was "need not be present to win".

Frank Dorritie has won several Gold medals at DCA I&E playing on vintage G-D-slide tenor bugles. His ensemble the Three Tenors is always in the top bracket and twice has won the Gold.

The guy closest to the lens...
So far, you're all wrong. The PHOTOGRAPHER is the guy closest to the lens.

John "Cupcakes" Curran?
It's "Cakes" at '77 DCA, and the hair that isn't shaved off was in the shape of a lightning bolt.

they are brothers and all played baritone.
They painted the cartoon mural on the oval panel on the equipment truck behind them. You can see their sigs in the lower RH corner.

1967 Bronx Kingsmen.
Dirty Eddie and 2 of his mates nailing a big double G on the finish line. With a little help from Jos. Parduba.

I am 99% sure that the horn in the picture is an alto.
Olds did not make an alto. Go back to post #8 in this thread for the full particulars.

American Overture by Joseph Wilcox Jenkins would be a phenomenal way to go....I imagine the Cadets could pull it off.
As well as Phantom did in 1975?

The 1969 Cavaliers claimed that after horn tech Wayne Karge watered down all the parts, their opener was re-titled "The Seven Commandments".

Guess Who they all are #38
Don't you remember around Fathers' Day 50 years ago when there was a big shortage of necktie fabric ???

Hey, for 9 months we don't HAVE to march, and can enjoy just blowing our horns.
Sitting down, unless we do trumpet in a bigband.
And maybe reading a book during all the long rests in an orchestra.
-
Be aware that there are THREE choices.
Marching horn in low F, same as a traditional single horn.
Marching horn in Bb.
Marching horn in high F (like a descant horn) pitched like an F mellophone. The notorious Getzen "frumpet", made with a trombone bell, was also at this pitch.
None of them work like a concert horn, because you don't stuff your hand in the bell and you play them bellfront. They're closer in concept to a Wagner tuba. Being cylindrical instruments, they are not a good substitute for the very conical mellophone.

The "Corps of the North" was a project of Garfield Cadet alumni Dave Shaw.
They competed at the 1963 VFW Nationals in Seattle. Clad in all-white, they came off the line to "Dancing in the Dark".
There was also a color guard marching with the Alaska delegation at the 1969 Legion Nationals in Atlanta. But they looked suspiciously like the Kenosha Kingsmen, who had paraded several hours earlier. It's amazing what could be procured with a little "cold" cash.

I think "Victory at Sea" was Richard Rogers...
Rogers was the big-name composer who furnished about a dozen short snippets of theme music. The real credit belongs to Robert Russell Bennett, who scored and conducted all the soundtrack for 26 half-hour episodes. Except for the opening and closing theme, none of the underscore was repeated.
That's over 11 hours of original music!

Zig Kanstul was just starting as an apprentice at Olds when the horn in the picture was built.
It was made by Conn in the early 50s. The giveaway is the distinctive die-cast fingerhook.
If it is not stencilled CONN, it may be branded Ludwig & Leedy.
If your soprano is not the one pictured, the description sounds like a Getzen-built model. Although it might have another name on the bell.
-
We tried the Titleist and the regular Getzen and the Power Bore. We all agreed the regular Getzen bugle was best and we were happy to have them.
Getzen. Elkhorn. Power Bore. Titleist. Guess what?
They were all the same components. The only difference was the name stamped on 'em. And the pricetag.

Before the days of the Interstates, quite a few corps traveled long distances to VFW and Legion Nationals on trains. They would charter an entire car or two, which would be coupled to existing scheduled runs. Often, local transportation in the contest city would be a fleet of taxis.

Is the first chord F# major, written for G bugles? You probably have the widely-circulated PR/2V chart written for a Racine Scout alumni corps in the 80s. The original, a half step higher, was written by Danny Christensen for the 1962 Scout corps.
The intro and ending are "Espana Cani". The rest of the tune is "La Virgen de la Macarena".

Seneca Chiefs Drum Major used to scare me when I was little
Nowadays, we've got Michael Cesario to scare the kiddies.

The rule, as passed, is stupidly written.
Sampling is a method of sound production. Synthesis is another.
Sequencing is a design technique.

Our Contras only have Gig Bags.
An associate of mine owns 18 contras, mostly without cases. He ships them around in double-strength cardboard wardrobes. Cost less than 10 bucks.
Beware shipping large containers with FedEx. They will tell you something isn't "oversize", but they have a new deal called "dimensional weight". Get a quote beforehand, and don't make the box any larger than it has to be.

There are several types of rights associated with a copyrighted work. These are administered in various ways.
The performance rights which Marty alludes to are the responsibility of the venue. The performing organization does not obtain these. They are generally obtained through a blanket license with the major performing rights organizations - ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC.
Recording rights must be obtained by whoever is marketing the product. After the first recording has been made of a copyrighted work, anyone else may record it by paying a per-song-per-copy fee through the Harry Fox Agency.
Field corps and minicorps are required by DCA and DCI to obtain permission to arrange copyrighted material (basically, anything created since 1923). This is what Peash is writing about. The usual fee is $150 per tune, and this is only for the prescribed use. You sign over all other rights to "your" arrangement to the publisher. The ASCAP and BMI websites have search engines where you might locate the publisher of your material, or you can pay a premium to an agency such as Copy Cat to do this legwork for you. Tom is correct - permission to arrange is not universally granted, it is the prerogative of the copyright holder.
There are also other rights that are beyond the scope of the OP's question.
