The Regimentals last year was 1971. Most of the members had been in the corps for years and the majority reached college age at the same time. We did get to work with Hy Dreitzer that last year. The Regimentals also had a very strong winter guard program with both a girls and boys guard that competed in the LI and Garden State Circuits.
-
The Regimentals competed in the Long Island Circuit with the Kingsmen, Wynn Center Toppers and other pretty good local corps. The 1970 Championship recording is still available. As far as different classes in the Sound of Suffolk shows, I was a kid at the time and have no idea.

1971 Sounds of Suffolk champions were the Regimentals from Farmingdale NY. Sunriser legend, Larry Visconti, spent his entire junior corps career in that corps.

I know that in 1986 the Blue Knights horn line practiced in a pool at Peoria High School before the Phoenix show. Don’t know if any pictures exist. -
Still have two extra tickets for Desert Ridge in Phoenix. Theater looks to be almost sold out. Tickets are free. I’ll be wearing a Boston polo out front at 5:00. I hate to see them go to waste.

I just received two tickets to Desert Ridge for Fathers Day. I had already purchased my tickets so the gifted tickets are extra. Since I didn’t pay for them I’ll give these away. Anyone who needs two tickets let me know. The theater looks like it was filling up last week.

Show Announcement Delays

I still miss the old Evening With the Corps shows held at Carnegie Hall and the Felt Forum back in the day. No local corps to pull it off anymore. DCA could probably still do it somewhere in Jersey and include Surf and The Cadets. -
After trying to explain Drum Corps to my Arizona friends for years, I dragged them to that show. They were blown away. Some of them still attend the Academy show every year.

Not too bad, off by a day after 42 years. Was it Madison’s bus that broke down in the desert or 27th’s?

Madison and the 27th Lancers did a 4th of July exhibition in Phoenix.

A Look Back at 1971-1972
regimental1 replied to mkcarlson's topic in Historical Junior Corps Discussions
After eleven years in the Farmingdale Regimentals, I marched my last show at the World Open. Had to back to college early. Three of us stayed to watch the big guys. Ray Zamora let us stay in the Fleetwood Record Studio. Hitchhiked to Logan Airport and spent a night sleeping on the floor of the Eastern Airline Terminal. Took a bus back home the next day. Great memories. -
