Yes, they were. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxPsXPCR5MU

The Fugs!!!! They were awesome. Talk about "out there".... they were definitely around the bend, so to speak. I think my brother might still have one of their albums. In the 1970s into the 80s, there was Root Boy Slim and the Sex Change Band, a blues-rock-alternative group from the Washington, DC area. They had quite a following for a while. Their hits included "Boogie 'Til You Puke" and "Dare To Be Fat." Not kidding here. LOL I liked Root Boy and the band... but the group was an acquired taste, to say the least.

A New York Hall of Fame would be cool.... and as Xandandl says, Long Island (and NYC) would be a significant part of that, without question. Here in Maryland, we recently held the 20th annual induction ceremony/banquet for the Maryland Drum and Bugle Corps Hall of Fame. A lot of drum corps history, and its fair share of well-known corps and people, in a relatively small state.

Tiger Woods also comes to mind.

Well said.... great points.

If I get to a camp in Oxford, I won't divulge any show details.... but from experience there I can tell you a place where you can get some really good pizza, and another spot in town with terrific craft brews. I hope that doesn''t stir up anything online.

If I get to a Cadets' camp, I probably will do the same. Without signing a waiver. LOL. Because if I said "Cadets have the best horn line I've ever heard from them... drum line should go undefeated... and the guard would win WGI IW".... then perhaps only a few folks would believe me.

That's what gets me, too. Do those folks sign a waiver or something....LOL

Oxford? Wow... that is on the way to my fiancee's house in PA. Might have to think about a side trip. LOL.

On the WGI topic.... congrats to our friend Vic Kulinski, as his RPT Percussion ensemble has made finals in their group!!!

Well... we did learn that Salem High School is a wonderful host.

Congrats to all of them... in particular Daniel!!!

Back on topic, more or less....LOL... Best wishes to the percussion ensembles heading to Dayton for their championship weekend!

Well... that certainly wasn't the case with my junior corps.

Good question. Not excusing any corps for this... but back in the Stone Age when I got started with drum corps, it was not uncommon for corps to knowingly have overage members. Including the junior corps where I marched. I have no idea why corps did this.
