Since Ken Kobold passed away and his recordings are "lost"......would anyone happen to have a recording or recordings of my old drum corps The Royal Coachmen from North Tonawanda, NY? I used to have 1976 from Ken, but a friend of mine "borrowed" it and I haven't seen him or it since.
This reason for putting his recordings in storage is a bit odd to me....if I played on it, shouldn't I be able to have a copy? So every member owns that recording right?
I'll wait for the "experts" to respond to that.
In the mean time....anyone have the old recordings? Huh? Please!!!!!
-
Well, I know the old BR unis were worn by Avant Garde
WRONG....Seneca sold theirs to Avant Garde
....don't know if Seneca had them prior.
Y'know....that story about a possible shipping error is the first time I've ever heard anyone explain the yellow on Blue Rock...it actually makes sense, but I'll wait for confirmation....

I picked Buffalo for good reasons LOL, I am from there and I think that that's where the largest crowds were.
Sorry about forget the MS city, can't think of it for the life of me AND I bet I forgot a city too.
Oh well

They're not in my "Brain Matter" (whats left of it,anyway...)"The REBELS",from Milwaukee...
"The TRI-COUNTY Cadets"?
NOPE!!! They were the Tri-Town Cadets from New York, near Batavia.
(They were from Ohio,and their uniforms were
"Farm Wear"...on the flags were pictures of "chickens,cows,and pigs"...
And of course,who could EVER forget The Delasalle Oaklands(sp?) from Toronto?
(Before they became The Oakland Crusaders...)
OR "BLUE ROCK"???
-
What year did they play CHASES "Get It On" ?
-
You remember the Oshkosh Warriors
-
They did merge for 1974. They came to the NT Open that year with 4 buses and people couldn't believe how big they were. I think it was because of their size that DCI limited the membership to 128.
As far as I know they never went back to Bleu Raeders.

Just do what I did and do it here. T
There is no organization yet BUT there could be...right?

Everyone who marched in NY sign up for the NYDCA (New York Drum Corps Alumni). You get absolutely nothing but long lasting friends.

You marched with or remember seeing Tom Peashey march. (Sorry Tom)
Go to watch a rehearsal and wonder why they don't practice company fronts.
you wonder why the color guard girls aren't wearing the "go go boots" or riding boots
you get the urge to show the young'uns how to high leg lift like back in the day
and you can only do it no more than 4 times and not 10 minutes non-stop
Feel free to add more

I guess I wasn't specific, although all the posts are great. What I was looking for was...
Even though you had joined your corps, what corps sucked you in to drum corps forever? As I said I was already with a corps for two years but when I saw Anaheim...forget it, I wasn't leaving.
-
Was that excerpt talking about 1970? I remember that was my first field show and Squires beat out White Knights from Baltimore, but I forgot who else was there...maybe Gauchos, Mello Dears, Mark Twain Cadets, etc. Someone remember?
-
Obviously the corps you marched with played a role in you being a member of a corps but what CORPS that you saw/heard did you say, "NOW I like drum corps!"
My corps was the Royal Coachmen of North Tonawanda, NY but the corps that sold me on staying with drum corps was the 1972 Anaheim Kingsmen at the US Open. Saw them at finals and went WOW! I saw so many corps at prelims I was delirious on the way home seeing signs that looked like drum corps. What a feeling! I wanted to march and play like them.
And yours? Carry on

Somebody needs to keep on you!

Back in the 80's I was fortunate to contact Ken Kobold to purchase tapes of various corps. He gave me several for free while I was stationed in the Army in Germany. My favorite recordings were of my own corps I marched with in the 1970's. Sadly, Ken passed away a number of years ago and the recordings were given to DCI or DCW who put them in a "vault" somewhere and to never be heard from again. I heard "copyright" laws keep them from selling copies to fans. I know I would love to have recordings of my old corps for my own enjoyment as would probably thousands of drum corps fans around the world.
So, what can we do to make this happen? Bombard DCI with letters and e-mails? Lets get the ball rolling and see if we can't open up the archives to preserve the memory of our activity.

I seemed to recall I saw them when I was teaching Patriots and was watching World Open or some show I saw them at. Anyways, "I'm good" and my wife thinks so too. Hehehehehehe
