VKMello84 Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 and you'll hold on to those for the rest of your life....I have the actual uniform top from the first year I marched, and probably nothing else in terms of uniform. I have a Madison gauntlet from '85 (I had a tie, but it was lost). I have an unspecified Freelancer uniform part. I have an honorary Troopers' membership card signed by Jim Jones. I have a stunt card from our '85 drum solo that I had many people sign. And lastly I have the Buddha trophy from the second show I ever marched in.

azwethinkweizm Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Oh, speaking of retreats, make sure you aren't rude to people as you shake hands with other corps or bands. 2005 San Antonio retreats: me and a friend met this really rude snare drummer. He made fun of our uniform and just other random stuff. We asked about his drum and he closed out his rant with "learn things". So my buddy took his snare sticks, making him stickless for the encore. We taped them on the front of his school bus with "learn things" written on the sticks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silvertrombone Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 You just need to march a corps were you get part of your uni as an age-out gift. And with that, I'm putting my uniform crosssabers back somewhere safe. :) Yeah, I thought about that after aging out! I think it would be pretty cool if the silver "thing" on the front of Regiment's helmets were of some significance and you got yours when you aged out, a la SCV. Just a nice memento type of thing. I'd buy one today if they started doing that now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
