MDempsey Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 I ran into MOE KNOX at the Brookyln United concert on Sat.the first question I asked him was he in the drum corps hall of fame. He told me no . I was shocked. I grew up seeing Moe at every drum corps event I was at as a child and the world of drum corps became alive to me through his pictures in the old DRUM CORPS NEWS. This is a man who very much deserves the HALL HONOR. he was still taking pics at the concert. If anyone knows who votes on these things ,lets share some MOE KNOX stories and see if we can get this man the recognition he deserves. Moe told me he was excluded from the hall because he made money off of drum corps. selling photo's. how many HOF members did drum corps full time and made a living off of it. a few . I do believe it is time to add MR. KNOX to the DRUM CORPS HALL OF FAME ALAN CHEZ How could Moe Knox not be in the hall of fame??? Add my vote.

canonrt Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Moe Knox has documented drum corps since I can remember from back in the mid '60s! If not for him there would not be much of a record from back in the day! I chatted with Moe at our home show, The Bridgemens' The Tournament of Stars, June 2007, it was like talking to the Beatles, Elvis & Jimi Hendrix all rolled into one! http://bridgemen.smugmug.com/gallery/3052700#166218747 Moe IS the MAN! It was an honor to say the least! We talked photography, the old days, the new days, he is just a living legend! While shooting photos of the Bridgemen during our show, he taps me on the shoulder & he gives me pointers on the way I should compose the drum majors photos! I tried his suggestion & of course he was right! We have to give him his props by sending him to the Hall Of Fame where he belongs, while he can still appreciate it!
