elphaba01 Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 (edited) I can't take all the credit Elphie ... I just pulled the major scores off of CORPSREPS.COM and sprinkled in a few more from my personal archives ... Interestingly, they show that St. Kevin's was always able to maintain a scoring margin over St. Catherine's, Loretto, Selden through 62 ... I can't find evidence of them ever beating Kevin's ... :-) "Kevin's vs Cathy's": St Catherine's never managed to beat the Emerald Knights. They "May" have been the only "Biggie" that they could not defeat at that place and time. I remember some of their upsets against the "Big Boys" in 1961, beating Garfield and tying Blessed Sacrament at seasons end. Possibly THE upset was their win at the Masque Theatre in early 1962, beating all the Jersey giants. They were actually the first drum corps to perform at the Carnagie Hall concert that year, following St Kevin's horn quartet who provided the "Heralds" to back Dick Blakes welcomming spiel. Great memories. Elphaba WWW Edited October 22, 2007 by elphaba01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossil50 Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 I am the original poster. Thanks for the information...your comments bring the corps alive.I have a follow up question. As a youngster I got to listen to the Brass By Night album with St. Catherine's Queensmen, Our Lady or Loretto Knights, etc. I still remember the cracks and pops on the LP. Also something to remember about that recording, no contra bases and no mellophones. And all the horses played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajlisko Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Also something to remember about that recording, no contra bases and no mellophones. And all the horses played. And what horses they were! Joe DeFiglia, Timmy Rennie, Mario, Sol Antthony from Loretto - the Sasso bros, Eddie Lawrence, Paul Humphries, Billy Hightower from St. Catherine's - Frank Buscemi, Ruben Jackson, Billy Kirk, Felton Owens and a slew of others from Selden.

So what was the horn breakdown then? Sops, and (bass) Baris I can guess but what about middle voices? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Middle voices = French Horns and in the 50's there were tenor bugles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbalaya Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Yep.....and the small bell baritones used to play the upper register stuff........those were dudes with brass hummina's J Middle voices = French Horns and in the 50's there were tenor bugles.

gsksun4 Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Heh. When I was a pup, my corps got 1 bass baritone. It was all the rage. How you gonna carry that beast they would say. By the way, Brass By Night for Selden was recorded at a practice in a parking lot about 25 feet from a major road called Jericho Turnpike. Can you hear any traffic on that record?????

JimF-LowBari Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Thanks guys, have a bunch of 50s/60s Senior recordings and never quite sure what is playing the mid-voice stuff. Hades, even bought some one valve Baris (2 tenor, 1 bass) so I could hear what they sound like. One of these days I'll get to hear a Tenor bugle (not Tenor Bari) so I'll know how they sound. Missed the Three Tenors at DCI I&E but still hoping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that you mention it, we must hang out in the same places... :P Antique place in Hanover (place no longer there) Cracker Barrel in Washington (Pittsburgh), PA Applebees in Rochester, NY (over DCA weekend yet) all had bugles that looked like a Tenor. PS - It is Cracker Barrels policy NOT to sell the stuff on the walls. I asked, much to my wifes' chagrin..
