njthundrrd Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 If memory serves, the reason behind the peacock uniforms was that NBC was one of their sponsors ... Nope. They did not sponsor us. I marched 1980 and many of the members in 1981 left to go to the Garfield Cadets (me included) and many of us were there for the Garfield run from 1981 to 1985 and beyond. Al DiCroce taught me to play baritone (I was a HS sax player with no chops for mellophone) and has been a great friend ever since. Brigade's hornline was simply amazing. DiCroce, Simpson, Kerschner were our brass instructors/arrangers. If I remember right, on filed brass in 1980 we score "in finals" too bad we couldn't march our way into the ocean from the beach. = ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
