uncle z

Hey!!!!!! No fair jumping in on my '75-'77 DQ tour!!!!!! <**>

It's "Marianne" that always gets uncle z happy!!!! :P

Hee Hee--John Entwhistle "My Generation" b**bs

Jerry Noonan!! Thanks, LancerFi!!!!! ^OO^

Dang!! What's the name of the guy from North Star, who solo'ed in "Ole"??? Nancy!! Help a poor guy out here!!!!

If I remember correctly, $2.50 back in 1971 could score you a couple of meals at McDonald's (remember "change back from your $1???)!!!! Also, if I remember correctly, "Latina" used to show up on a lot of other corps' "Favorite Songs" from their yearbooks!!!!!! :)

b**bs Love it, love it! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Anybody besides uncle z willing to 'fess up to "adjusting" their drill a small amount to do some "judge stalking"???? ^0^

Well, here's uncle z's $.02-- --1973 The Thing (I would have been 12 years old, but......) --1974 Kingsmen (not Anaheim, but the Kingsmen who took 57th with a 22.80) --1975 Muchachos (waiting for the "friggen' cheater" response from Rich K.) --1976 Xmen (ditto) --1977 Bridgemen (ditto) --1978 White Stallions --1979 Coon Valley Amoebas --1980 Etobicoke (see Sue D., someone actually liked this year!!!)(just kidding--Reading Buccaneers, baby!!!!!!) :P

Plus, nobody else plays "Iowa" coming off the field!!!!!!!!!!! ^OO^

ummm yeah, I rule at doing quotes........................

I'm gonna guess at about 150 miles NE of the 'Burgh!!!! How far from Coon Valley I would not venture to guess, tho!!!

I've got a drum corps magazine around here somewhere with an article written by the baritone player who stops and picks up a piece of KFC chicken in the commercial. I'm pretty sure it's Guradsmen from '75 or '76.

Of course, the only appropriate comment being--OUCH!!!!!!!!

Well, did you say "hi" for me?? b**bs

I'd say that'd be the St Rose Scarlet Lancers of Chelsea, Mass., but I can't credit my memory for that one........

Well, here's uncle z's $.02-- Not that I hated SCV in any way, shape or form in 1978............................... But how did that kick-a** Stravinsky NOT win??????????????????

Emporium PA's 84th Volunteer Bucktail Regiment --If nothing else, they had one kewl name!!!!!!!!

Ummm, yeah, that would HAVE to be 1981 Cavies.............................................. Starring yours truly on Bass #2!!!!! :P Picasso Suite--awesome display of power AND finesse Sing, Sing, Sing--amazing display of technical proficiency Sambandrea Swing--I gotta disagree, Malibu, the crowd isn't cheering the double rifle work--they're cheering uncle z taking bass drumming to a new level!! Softly, As I Leave You--again, I know in my heart that the crowd isn't cheering for this Cavalier standard--they are enraptured with the realization that they are about to be subjected to uncle z's interpretation (often imitated but never duplicated)of that bass drum troop-the-stands classic "Iowa"!!!!!!!! uncle z--head the size of a planetoid with it's own weather system!! ($1 to Stuart Mc Kenzie)

Yeah, Coon Valley Amoebas!!!! I seem to recall some kind of corps song, but I can't quite remember the words....... B)

That musta been one of those new fangled busses!!! :P We never had any either! 500 miles??? No problem. :sshh: :sshh: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, back in the day, we used to purchase Pringle's potato chips for the express purpose of utilizing the empty container as a urinal of sorts--that's why that Native American guy in the commercial is crying--he MUST have found a rancid Pringle's urine missile at one time or another!!! b**bs Who needs a toilet?? Who needs a potty stop, anyway!!!!

OT, but mentioning Spam and Hawaii together is something any kama'aina could "talk story" about-- Howzit, Ron H??? :P

I don't know if this has been covered before, but can any "old school" horn players explain and fill in the history of that noise the 1974 Kingsmen make after Symphony Fantastique?? Sounds like the whole horn line is blowing air through the horns and is definitely KEWL!!!!! B) TY, Z

And that's why the Scouts received the sobriquet "Dancing Bears" back in 1978!!! :P

Ahhhh, yeah........................1975!!!!! Blue Devils' "Tower of Power" medley (didn't Freelancers do Tof P, too?) PR's "American Overture" Madison's "Mc Arthur's Park" 27th Lancer's "Chameleon" Kilt's "Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing" ....and I'll even mention Hawthorne's "Marianne"!!! .....and I remember the Watkins Glen Squires doing "Pontieo" :) .........and continuing another thread, didn't the aforementioned Oakland Crusaders cover "Malaga"???? Oh man, if only Sherman and Mr. Peabody's Way Back Machine actually worked!!!
