donincardona Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Remember the Dream where so many players went down at the finish line from heat exhaustion? Hard to believe nobody ever put a soprano through their skull back then. now that would have provided some real drama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fran Haring Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Remember the Dream where so many players went down at the finish line from heat exhaustion? Hard to believe nobody ever put a soprano through their skull back then. OMG.... that whole "pass out" thing in the end zone was almost like a show in itself. Not to make light of it, but wow.... a whole bunch of folks used to hit the dirt at that show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A simple rubber band with that little pouch strategically placed between the upper lip and nostrils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VOReason Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Remember the Dream where so many players went down at the finish line from heat exhaustion? Hard to believe nobody ever put a soprano through their skull back then.They had the wherewithal to make sure the soprano was held to the side! I used to think, even back in the day, that most of the folks who went down were just part of the show. They always seemed to fall right after the last note, after marching a grueling squad/company front drill, 12 to 5, at an average 85-90 bpm with a 2-3 minute concert....

CarolleeT Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 HAHA ... Jomba knew the entire Jersey City EMT squad by their first names ...:-) The Audubon girls would make bets on whether Jomba would make it to the finish line or fall somewhere between the 30 and the finish line.

HAHA ... there's a famous pic of Jomba flat on his back on about the 10 yard line, passed out cold with Monk bent over him playing a roll on his bass drum to the final signature ... a classic for sure ... maybe Nanci has it in her archives ... :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
