For Scerpella: Two '77 Midwest photos of Madison. Not the best quality, but you can tell it's Madison. Prelims Finals

Sorry uncleZ, no '77 Marquis photos. If I remember correctly, there where quite a few former Marquis members marching Blue Stars in '79. Oh...and thanks for the red stuff! Now if I only had a puker t-shirt to go with it.

Thanks BobB. I knew someone here would know.

Yeah, I forgot you guys followed Garfield. Tough slot. I do remember enjoying your performance, hence the photos. I was a drum corps "crackhead" back in the day. Living in Mississippi I wasn't able to see live drum corps much, so I really appreciated every performance from the cadet corps on up. I did get the opportunity to march in the Blue Stars (a couple of years after these photos) with some former Wausau Story members. Good people!

1977 DCI Midwest Championship About 45 Open Class/Class A Corps and 8 Cadet Corps over a two day period in beautiful Whitewater, Wisconsin. Nirvana for a 16 year old corps fan from the Southern hinterlands. The honor of last corps to be posted in my collection of '77 Midwest pics goes to... Wausau Story

1977 DCI Midwest Spirit of Atlanta Impressive first year on the field.

One more from '85 Midwest. I found the Knights rehearsing ensemble on the UWW campus. (I like watching the rehearsals as much as the performances.) I snapped this photo as the tenors were undergoing self-inflicted punishment. Notice our own tommytimp taking it all in.

Thanks Tom and lindap! Here's some more from 1977 Midwest prelims: Garfield Cadets Guardsmen (hot off of their Kentucky Fried Chicken commercial, if you remember)
