rayfallon Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Not hijacking, merely a very brief detour into a rest area - has any activity outside of early major league baseball used more nicknames than the drum corps of the 50s, 60s, into the mid-70s? Root Beer is just one out of hundreds of nicknames such as Pee Wee, JoJo, Pepe, and that's just a couple of people in one corps at one time. As the Scooter frequently said, "Holy Cow!" OK, back to your regularly scheduled guessing game... I knew Root Beer, but honest to God I never knew his name - I thought his parents were Mr and Mrs Beer and had a strange sense of humor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are quite a few people from drum corps that I never knew their real name until later on. There were some years in Sun when just about everyone had a nickname and it was tough to call them by their real names. Some guys in other corps I only knew by nicknames and never learned their true identities. And then there is Stan.

Some guys in other corps I only knew by nicknames and never learned their true identities. And then there is Stan. It was almost two seasons before I learned Stan's real last name. (He was giving me a hard time about my first name and that's when I learned his last name.... heh) I learned his real first name when his mother was yelling "M A R T Y" and I asked Kathleen T. who in the heck is Marty? When Donna and I joined Sun I didn't know many Sun rookies were named after the drill spots they took. I don't know if there was a name for the "drill spot" I got in 75. One of my nicknames I got when a certain someone (BassoProfoundo!) told me I need a nickname.... I remember asking that they (the Bass Line) just don't call be "Butch" (Mr. Anderson and I were not getting along at that time. heh) That's when "Moose" was born.... (I might be the only one in Sun that had several nicknames over the years, and I'm sure some of them were not said to my face. ) "TennTux" Which is short (pun intended) for "Tennessee Tuxedo" from another certain someone's penning an infamous 1980 Corps walk-on write up...
