kennadrin Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Hi KenYup... black knights was fun... and our claim to fame was that we had probably the best soprano soloist in drum corps at the time in Redd Swindells... Best chops ever to hit the field until the day Joey Pero put on a uniform. funny sidenote... many years later when I was director of Cru, Kenny joined and the day he gave me his contact info I stared at the address and to my amazement, he was living in the last house I owned in Oswego. (some 17 years earlier) Even in drum corps it's a small world... What a very small world we live in huh, I still remember that conversation at your house when I came over to join Cru, BTW Redd was the first horn instructor I ever had.. Not bad huh... I hope all is well out West Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabalumnidrummer Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 The idea of 'consecutive' hurts a bit, since so many of us have to admit to 'interrupted service!' I first walked into Post 199 in Hawthorne in January of 1966. I competed seven seasons between '66 and '73, skipping '72. When the Alumni corps started in March of 1994 I was there. So with time off for 'real life' interruptions, I'm still making the trip to Hawthorne 41 years later. George Hayek is still the champ and the guy we all look up to.

KiltieKemo06 Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Started marching junior in 1968 and still doing it today. Marched with 8 corps, 24 seasons and now marching with my son! But I am humbled by all of the "vets" (especially the East Coasters) who started WAY before I did and some are still marching today! I don't know of any other activity (hobby) that has such commitment and longevity from it's followers. Next year will be my 25th marching season since 68 and it's not over yet.

Annabelle79 Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Not consecutive, but this is my 6th season with Kilties and 14th season in corps total. That's half my life, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixtysomething Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Not consecutive, but this is my 6th season with Kilties and 14th season in corps total.

JKatzmellophone Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Started in Jr. Corps in 1967 aged out in 1977 taught 1978 joined the Cabs for the second time in 1979 (the first time was 73 but went back to Jr. Corps.) and have been a Caballeros ever since. 40 years with two organizations, but next to George Hayek I’m a newbie. The only one I know who has been in drum corps most of his life is my brother Josh, he went on his first tour at 4 months old 1970 and is still marching today 37 years later. Yeah its true. I was born in a contra case. I have been in uniform since I was a toddler. However, I contributed my first season as a playing memeber in 1978. I had to think about that since I started the year after Al aged out. Between 1978 and 2007. I have only seen three years of no activity. 95,97 and 2005. Although I wore many uniforms in that time. 8 to be exact. I have been marching with the Caballeros for 19 season between 1985 and 2007 but have always been associated with corps for all 22 years or longer if you consider my brothers time with the corps. I guess you can say all my years in Jr corps groomed me for Hawthorne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
