  1. To find out you need to march Regiment....SUTA!
  2. I was just watching L.A. Ink, which I normally don't watch, but for some reason I turned it on. Anyway there was a young man named Travis getting a tattoo and he had marched with Impulse. He gave the whole rundown of the activity and what it meant to him, complete with some action shots of him performing. Very cool. His tat was pretty cool too. He did the original artwork himself, it was a skeleton holding a bugle, wearing a tattered Impulse uniform. His dad marched too, '72 Kingsmen.
  3. Because it's about a seven or eight hour drive from Minneapolis to Rockford and we had five or six hours to do it.
  4. In was in Stillwater in 1986 too, watching my corpsmates get sick as we warmed up. We lost about 35 folks (sick not dead)to food poisoning that night and had to do a standstill. The next the Minn. DHHS didn't want us to leave the state, but the Rockford show was that night. After some artful negotiation we were allowed to leave the state with a police escort to the Wi. border. We then high tailed to Ill. were we picked up another police escort to Rockford. Funny thing, being young I didn't call my parents when all of this happened, however it made the AP and they read about it in the paper that morning. They weren't planning on coming to the show but htey wanted to see if their son was still alive. I got chewed out pretty bad for not calling.
  5. Happy Brithday Roman, thanks for the great memories during my two years with Pioneer.
  6. 86 was my rookout year and it was pretty rough. We had inexperienced staff in all captions, and they rotated in and out all season. I remember more than once, a new staff member "fixing" something that a previous staff member had spent days "fixing". We were also pretty young that year, there were alot of kids bought up from the cadet corps just to fill spots. There was also a massive drill rewrite midseason. I don't remember it being the whole drill, but most of it was trashed and replaced. That said, it was the best time I had in drum corps. We were treated well and with respect. I will always be forever grateful for the experiences I had that summer. Plus I made some great friends that year whom I still keep in touch with, even if it's just at the occansional show. So here's to Ducky, Moose, Brian Hildreth, Eric Short the tall Drum Major, Ron Schultz, Billy Hyde, Ingrid Hyde, Mom Hyde (I know what I did), the uniform ladies(thanks for coming to my wedding) and all the rest from 86. Walt
  7. I'll be at Lombard with my wife and two friends who are all Regiment phans. So, you can be with Regiment phans and a guy you marched with.
  8. My condolences go out to the Chamberlain family.
  9. 92 Crossmen, that little lullabye gets me everytime....
  10. Hey Garry, My buddy Al and I started that, when she went to PR we always gave her a shout out! Tell her "Yo Adrain" for me.
  11. 1983-Pnuemonia 1986-broke the big nerve on the outside of my left thigh, didn't hurt cause I couldn't feel anything, but the corps nurse said she heard it snap at the front of the field (I was on the back hash). 24 years later it feels like my leg is asleep all the time.
  12. My condolences and prayers go out Harvey's family. I had the privilegde of judging with Harvey many years ago and he was a true gentleman. He will be missed.
  13. Here is my first effort... http://www.micromarching.com/show.php?sid=211 Tell me if you like it
