A27Lancer Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 There are many more of these stories out there. 27th and SCV had a great friendship in the mid-seventies. Their members housed us in their homes when we visited California (aaaah! a bed and a hot meal!!!), and we housed SCV when they came to Boston the next year. Avant Garde had a great friendship with their rivals, BAC in the eighties, including the world "Buck-buck" championships held after a show. I am sure everybody who ever marched could tell a great story of inter-corps friendships and help given and received. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared_mello Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 The guy in the Mandarins jacket is Josh Luedtke. Josh is one of the nicest guys I know, and was much like a brother to me throughout the four years we marched together. was he the really tall guy from the tenor line?

corps-mudgeon Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Kudos to the member and to her Mandarins hero. A real display of heart and determination. But where were her BD corpsmates/staff/volunteers? Surely there was one person in that organization that could have been looking out for her?

Hybrid_Johnny Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 was he the really tall guy from the tenor line? No, that was Jake Achterhoff. He marched Mandarins in 2005, and went on to march Blue knights in 2007. This year, he's trying out with me at SCV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jared_mello Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 :( Please don't turn this into a 'typical' DCP thread. i think he was genuinely curious about that. i was wondering the same thing after reading it....dont really understand the time/place situation. not being critical of emotion or heroism or whatever, i just dont really get it.

Thanks, Jared. Despite what my inspired userid might imply, I don't generally dwell on the negative. I wasn't trying to inflame passions here, but I'd really like to hear the rest of the story. It would be fabulous if someone in the know said something like, "The staff knew she was injured and made sure she was comfortable on the bus and told her to stay put until someone could return and tend to her, but she couldn't stay away from her corps and slipped past the cook staff without being seen." I guess I'll go with that. Carry on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockthebus09 Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Knowing exactly where this girl is coming from, that seriously brought me to tears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Boo Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Folks...those of you who witnessed this or know about it through your knowing the BD or Mandarins member...I'd love to expand on this and get it on DCI.org in the Fanfare column. Please drop me an e-mail at boomike@dci.org if you can help out. This is the type of story for which I live and we need to give it greater exposure. Thank you.
