I loved that free air conditioning when the bus window fell out of its frame and smashed all over the parking lot.

You know what, I think it was 87 in that crappy old Madison bus.

Yah, that was a Waldo thing, it was very oganized, and every night someone new would have a "solo". Man I forgot all about the air guitar thing.

Hey Nikk, as I remember it was James that started playing that thing around 1986, it was something he would play at parade warm ups and stand stills. I believe it got going strong in 88-89, and as I remember it Dan hated it.

Hey Mark, Tony Hall thought that one up on the spot finals week, we had some mellophones bite it big time teaching that move. If you watch real close, the horn player at the back of the triangle gets to her spot 2 counts late.

That is correct, his name is Steve and marched in the Colts in 85.

NOPE happened after 89, maybe around 95, or 96.

I remember seeing Blue Devils in 1986, and thinking that no one will even come close.

Yep, his name was Doug Steinbrech, and he was also the D.M. in 1987.

Did you ever get to march in an "old style" finale"? If not, to sad for you.

Hey Mark, Spam and I played euphoniums in 89, and I think the total was 6 in the line.

Didn't Troopers make 13 in 1983? If so that would be my favorite 13th place show.

Bob aged out in 85. I remember some good arguments between Bob and Bryan Hildreth in 88.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you SPARTICUS!

On the DVD, they cut away to a high shot of the move into the iceburg.

Well, I have no idea, but that is the only time you can really see me. If I remember you got some good face time on the PBS telecast after Hosmers solo in Going Home.

At the end of the same box rotation, Spam and I split the 50 in the front row, I'm on side 1.

Wasn't that the day Brad Shannon came on the bus and opened the window with the broken frame, and the glass fell and shattered all over the parking lot? We had to spend the rest of tour with a piece of plywood covering the spot where the window was.

Yah, that was a fun day. How about Biloxi Mississippi 89? That was the only show I ever felt sick after.

how about Magic of Orlando, 1994?

I always liked the end of Phantoms opener in 1987

Yep. marched every year in the 80s
