  1. I think the problems people have had has to do with their computer. My pentium 4 computer would lag so i built a quad core and it streams perfect.
  2. After the Kingsmen I so wanted to march with the Bridgemen. I even wrote a letter,but no response.
  3. I have to agree on the kobold recordings. These need to be offered sometime soon. There are so many recordings that he did that are extremely rare.
  4. They should do this how could it not sell?
  5. I for one noticed how the color gaurd seemed to allways have there noses up in the air i can still see it very clearly. Later on when garfields gaurd had the bonnets they had there noses in the air as well. not sure if the gaurd instructor came from them or not. last but not least i do remember them at boulder in 77 and they were smoking hot but the judges seemed to screw them over. we actually beat them and i couldnt believe it.
  6. 76 was the first time i saw the Kingsmen in whitewater. Next year i marched with them.
  7. Did anyone mention the guardsmen rifle line? They were something else as well. They allways had there noses way up in the air. Also later it seems to me when garfield was making their comeback that they did the same thing.
  8. Well their videos on you tube look like they will kick some ### this year.
  9. I think crown will be the New corps to win Finals. Before any other non title holding corps. Its just a matter of time. They will do it.
  10. My heart would have to vote for the Anaheim Kingsmen rifle line.
  11. I would say Boston 2000. Lets not talk about Garfield in 77 lol.
  12. A full blown channel one suite would tear the house down i bet.
  13. And bring back the 76 uniform!!!!! lol like that will happen.
  14. They are known for coming out of the gate on fire. They have beat BD early in the season thats for sure.
  15. wow i was in the statesmen in 75-76 . I then went and marched with anaheim kingsmen in 77. Tom Salvatore

  16. Would say perhaps a 76 Blue Devil show have a chance of winning in todays drum corps????
  17. I still remember dci east and the bridgemen winning. The crowd went nuts on their win. On our way back to the busses. The Brigdemen were popping beers on their victory!!!! only in the 70s lol.
  18. It was 77 when garfield sang amen not 78 believe me i know they squeezed us out of finals. ugh.
  19. You mignt be right about that opti. I dont remember seeing them during prelims so i stand corrected. I do know that your corps beat us every time playing the same west side story, your yellow uniform seemed to be an exact replica of our uniform.
  20. I have mixed feelings about the 77 Garfield Cadets. I believe that if they didnt sing amen at the end of their show,that we would have beat them and made finals. I believe from back then that they received a penalty for singing but made up for it in general effect. I also believe that had we beat them and made finals that the Kingsmen would have been around alot longer. You cant change the past and you have to live with it. Neadless to say i came so close to making finals. Ugh. Thomas Salvatore
  21. The first time i saw the Anaheim Kingsmen was at whitewater 1976. I had heard all of there recordings before then but never seen them. Now dont forget this is after 75 when they didnt go on tour and many thought the were going under. To my suprise they came around the corner at whitewater and i think it was one of the greatest sights i have ever seen. They werent the powerhouse they used to be but they were the Kingsmen. The following year i moved to Cali and joined the Kingsmen. 1977 was such a great experience we just missed finals to Garfield. To this year and time i believe if Garfield would have not sang amen at the end we would have beat them i might be but have allways had this gut feeling about it. Thomas Salvatore
