And Guido, you are not off the hook.

We want your story, and even the Classic Comics version will do.

I'll fortify the shed in case any Florida Hurcs read this. :)

well look it's true. the reason you use open rudiments is to make it easier.

No argument there, O' Prince of Perc. I'm joking.

I actually started out on snare drum in a line with Dave King and Johnny Oddo, taught by Don Friesing. They were good and I wasn't, so I soon found out it's a lot easier to carry a Getzen sop.

Pretty sure Brigs won high horns 68 DCA. I don't recall the sheets after the show, but something tells me Flowers and that drum line helped put Reading in first place. Rightfully so I guess, since as far as I know, Bucs only lost twice in 68. Both times to Hurcs, Stratford and the Dream.

Tom or Frank, do you recall any of the breakdown for top 3, DCA 68?

Thanks for the JPG's guys, but I saved them as and tried everything to paste them here, but no go.

It's interesting to see now what went down in 68. Don, you guys were right up there with Bucs and Hurcs in drumming I see.

Not too shabby my friend.

MANY moons ago, this question was asked and answered on DCP. (I was one of the people that asked and later answered....)

Tony, Andy sent me the PDF's. I could not paste here. I deleted the e-mail because of that issue I had some time ago when someone hacked my addy's and you, China and Nanci got the brunt of it.

i loved jerry shelmer. he said if it can be carried i want it in the drumline.

Jerry was with BAC my year (69) and when I got to the Renegades (70) he was teaching the DL there. Definitely a "different" type of personally... LOL

Would you care to elaborate on the aforementioned "First Law", O Mushroom Meister?

And after that, please explain how someone of your high-born character came to embrace with such tenacity such a low-brow activity as Drum and Bugle Corps.

LOL.... If I have it correctly, "Do Good and Don't Suck!"

since you axed my friendly curmudgeon brother....there was this vending stand under the bleachers distributing a fine malted beverage known as Genesee Cream Ale.....the aforementioned miscreants used our non-competitive status to, ahhhhhh, sample the wares.....as time marched on, we approached the vendor for a refill and, lo and behold, we were informed that we had consumed his supply of the nectar of champions. By now the culprits were deep in philosophical realms attempting to opine the why of what we do and how to explain in concise form a definition of "performance"......after belching many times and passing the water that we had previously consumed, we boiled it down to a simple expository 'do good; don't suck' and that is the genesis of the aforementioned First Law........as for how I got into corps you might say that I was born into it, but that is history for another time.

Guido

Punctuation IS important. (I stand corrected, it's "Do Good; Don't Suck"..... there is no "and". )
