1974 ,Hawthorne Muchachos in Finals, High leg lift at a tempo of 152. Amazing performance. A time when drum corps still entertained. 32 years and still nobody has matched Jeff Kivets solo's. I hears there is a song on itunes Drum Corps Day or something like that that talks about that performance.Amazing corps that got turned in by west coast corps for overage members,but an amazing corps Went from 7th in prelims to 3rd in finals. That would not happen today. Opener is on youtube ,check out the solo. The sound filled the stadium up.

How about the starting gun and the gun shot 3/4 of the way through the exit. Tilted bass drums that the snare drummers would play on.Mostly senior corps. Those were the days.

Drum Corps Alumni, Marched with a small corps Apalachin / Southern Tier Grenadiers 65-75 and Empire State Express 77-78.Have written a song called "Drum Corps Days" on itunes that I would love to see what real drum corps vets think of it. Sample on itunes is O.K. Song includes a marching percussion drum solo later in tune and an acapella ending. Drum Corps Forever !
