Wasn't Russ Mickelson with them that year?
Yep.
-
Yep, that's Jeff. Other faces I recognize - Dave Flynn on the left; Tracy Freeman (who's knee Rita is sitting on); looks like Chris Hartowicz on the right and a smidgen of Ma Gengler.
That's current director Adolph DeGrauwe on the far right.
To Rita's left is Jim Anderson and the first guy in the second row is John Anderson. Their parents died in a car accident on the way to 1980 DCI in Birmingham.

Yes, Doug was her son. I also remember Jimmer, who played contra. Don't know if there were any others...
They had a younger sister Jill.

Hi my name is Mike and I was in the Cavaliers in 1981 and I have been looking for a long long time for someone who might have recorded the finals show in Canada for the 1981 show this was the only year that DCI ( I was informed) did not record it can anyone help.
Wow, my name is Mike and I was in the Cavaliers in 1981 also.

I'll go for the obscurities:
75 GBV--"City of Brass"
75 Precisionnaires--"Spain"
76 Kilts--"Linus and Lucy"
78 Garfield--"Pieces of Dreams"
78 SofA--"Higher and Higher" turn up the mixer on the middle voices, though
79 BD--"Chicago III Suite" turn down everything on the mixer but Gary Gilroy on the marimba

I found my long lost 1975 program in September 2009 and randomly scanned 7 corps; did a search on Royal in some old corps photos today and found this post. There’s no rhyme or reason as to the 7 corps I picked. Could be because I live in a Boreal forest region and Wisconsin is beautiful this time of year? Here’s my 7th and final scan of the 75 U.S Open program.
edit: was Sept 09
(now, where did I put those programs with PB Cardinals photos? …ummm ;-)
1975 U.S Open program, Royal Knights
Mmmmm......this is the '74 corps.
The drummer third from the right is overage. I have no idea what kind of competitive advantage that gave a "C" class corps from Wisconsin in shows against the likes of the Port Washington Windjammers, the West Bend Patriots and the Park Falls Brass Regiment, but it DOES prove that not only the Muchachos and Bridgemen were cheating. :(
-
Take a look at youtube find the Americanos Alumni corps from Flag Day. I must tell you, Powerful stuff.
I missed that parade. Did Paul J. sport the "Frito Bandito" uni??
-
Sorry about that- had I known, I would have panned right!
Not a problem.....you managed to get all of ME!!!!
-
Weren't the Guardsmen in a KFC commercial? 70's I think.
-
Hey, is that Jim Campbell judging??
-
Wow, these stories are great. When I was drumming, it was the transitional 70's. At First, we were taught by Mitch Markovich who came from Cavies to Royalairs to N. Ambassadors (Argonne Reb. too) and big, high sticking was the deal--if the second beat of your diddle wasn't as high as the first one you were a weenis. And both beats better touch your forehead. A guy could get hurt.

Feel free to go to the "site that shall not be named" and enter this into the search bar:

I think you'll enjoy what you find.

It's amazing what people know on this thread, thanks!
Here's one titled Cavaliers at Cherry Creek
That's Bret Kuhn on the far left.
And I do believe that's MY head directly below the "L" in WOOLWORTH'S.

I'm gonna stop, 'cuz I don't recognize some guys anymore.
Except this is Janusz Jeske:
and the bass drummer in the middle on the left is me.

I got him...1964 VFW Nationals Kiltie Bill Schultz, age 14, was the youngest person to take a first place at this VFW Nationals with his victory on the baritone bugle. Had to search that one up myself!
He was also the corps director of the Cedarburg Thunderbolts in 1973 when they merged with Roman Blenski's St. Patrick's Imperials, forming The Thing.
He was the music director/horn instructor for my first corps in '75.
Russ Epps is apparently bartending at George's, so I was invited to Racine to have a drink with Russ, and then call the Funeral Home to get Tommy to come and raise a glass or two with us.
-
Lemme see...............Joel Magnusson, Wally Schilg, Ed Porcaro, Dino Riccio, George Lindstrom, Bill Schultz, Dave Martinson, Russ Epps, etc.

Wait, there are drummers in that pic? Why didn't I see them?

Check out t3h Horicon Marsh Days T-shirt.

Yep. I assisted with an autopsy this morning, and the poor guy was going to Maresh-Meredith Funeral Home in Racine. Guess who picked him up?
We spent a good 45 minutes talking early-70s Wisconsin drum corps. All within two blocks of Fruth Field, former site for the Night of Splendor.
I can throw out some names that were discussed if you're interested, Jim Anello.

I totally met Jethro Tull yesterday. He's really cool!
That's amazing, seeing as how Jethro Tull died in 1740.....
