To a very great extent, all of us became who we are because of our corps experiences. Whether you drive a PATH train, lock up bad guys, teach high schoolers, move planes around or shovel coal, you do it with drum corps intensity. And we were all in the right place at the right time.

In 1980, when Cal Tjader won a Grammy, his band was on tour and he couldn't attend he presentation. As his producer (see, "right place...etc.", above) I was designated to accept for him. You have all seen this kind of drill. You walk up, a gorgeous model/actress/whatever gives you a peck on the cheek, you get a little statue, and thank people nobody has ever heard of.

That being the case, I proceeded to thank, "John Sasso, Donald Angelica and Dr. Baggs, without whose help I would not be standing here."

Theoretically, I was a stand-in for Cal Tjader, but the truth is I really represented Ray, Tony, Don, Tom, Andy, Stan, Fran, Kathleen, Nanci, Glenn and all our durm corps colleagues who, in the same circumstances, would say something quite similar.

Wow.... Well said, I am humbled and honored to be amoungst so many that have paved the road I have had the opportunity to travel down... As I have told you face to face, I am forever grateful to you and your fellow Sunrisers classmates for giving me and my Sunrisers classmates the great building blocks we had when Donna and I arrived back in 75. If it were not for all of your dedication to the activity, and our Corps, we would not have had the opportunity to succeed to the levels we were able to in my days wearing your Corps' uniforms.... :worthy:

Disclaimer: I don't know how to send a photo.

I have a couple of good ones, but no idea how to get them from point A to point B (where Nanci is point B).

I realize that that makes me an idiot, but remember that you are a huge big time recording guy which means you're technically savvy, whereas I ...

What is it I do?

Try to make airplanes come and go on time...

And attempt to make sure they don't collide with anything else during all of that coming and going on time...

i thought it was a 70's uni.

Looks like the one I wore.... (One difference was that we needed to put the sides of the hat down because we were hitting it with the Rifles...)
