So, what do you folks think will happen tonight?
God I hope that wasn't me! That happened to me during my very first Drum Corps show with the Wausau Story in 1976. At least the underwear I had on kinda matched the uniform
In 1976, my first year of Drum Corps, the Wausau Story won the class A championship. In both '77 and'78 we placed 24th in open class. Wow, was that really 30 years ago!!??
I remember the US Open. That was a geat show. I think it was in '76 that we were on the starting line without our drum section because of a bus breakdown, and just as we were set to step off, they came sprinting up just in time! It funny I still remember that after all these years!

Wow, my first post! I remember we also did this back in 1980 when we (the Blue Stars) missed finals for the first time, placing 13th. As we were waiting to go into the stadium to watch finals, North Star marched by us on the way to the starting line. Even though we were EXTREMELY disappointed about not being in the show, we broke into applause for them and shouted encouragement as they passed. I still think back to that event when disappointing things happen and was glad that I was able to learn the hard way about dealing with disappointment in a positive way.
