gsksun4 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) 70-71 Felt Forum Went to a audio equipment show at the Forum back when and Bruce Morrow (Cousin Brucie) was on air broadcasting his show from the stage and Imus In the Morning comes on the stage with the suits and ripped the toupee off the DJ's head mid broadcast. Head set and all. Morrow was pi$$ed. Edited January 7, 2015 by gsksun4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fran Haring Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Evening With The Corps venues: 62-65 Carnegie Hall 66-69 Symphony Hall 70-71 Felt Forum 72-76 (or so) Westchester County Center :-) In 1974, my junior corps (Sacred Heart Crusaders) won the "Afternoon With the Corps" stage show at the Westchester venue.... and as winners, we got to play in the big "Evening" show at night. I'm not sure if that was the only year of the afternoon show. And I have absolutely no idea how the afternoon show was judged. LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rayfallon Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Sadistic little penguins... if they had had guns in the 50s and 60s instead of rulers and pointers, I'd be dead a long time ago. Give me a good Viet Cong any day of the week. At least your mom and dad didn't take their side of things... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elphaba01 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 "Out of the Spotlight" Not very well known outside the Fairfield Country CT drum corps sphere was Barbara "Murphy" Finch, a very good and to put it mildly LOUD FHB that marched with the old St Ann's Loyalaires. (I'm sure Andy remembers her) She was one of two persons who was responsible for me being involved with drum corps "Way Back When".

TomPeashey Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 the sea of black in the audience at the Dream was a sight to behold... I do believe they all worshipped at St. Caballero's 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayfallon Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Ya see? It's tough to keep going after pictures of NUNS! I hope you're happy Andy! Penguins! Gives me chills from all the way back in the '50s. slight aside - the school where those monochrome sadistasistas used to whack me was a couple hundred yards from the Hempstead Legion Post - Our Lady of Loretto School (not the one in Brooklyn) directly next door to Hempstead HS. Got locked in a metal locker by one of the "holy sisters" (that description from me Irish mother) in first grade! What on Earth can a 7 yo boy do to get locked in a metal locker? Esp with a size 8 head! Frightening! I can still see the light coming through those little vents. I hope they're all sitting in extremely warm surroundings today, and I don't mean Costa Rica.

I still remember when he was playing his tenor bari at I&E shows in the 60's ... what a sweet sound ... what made you go to the Lancers instead of sticking with St. Ann's ... and I sure do remember Murph ... think she's still around in CT somewhere ... her sister marched with PCP for several years recently ... :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the fact that they remembered me was pretty neat. It would be great if (in addition to being a venue for the young players in the various areas the shows are run) the I&E Andy Talk-fests became little mini reunions to an even greater degree. Plus they're places you get to see some really cool "acts". My first exposure to the Romeos was at BHoF, plus the only time (believe it or not) that I've seen Mass Brass was at the Boston show, the same day I saw Basement Brass for the first time. Love those shows, and grateful to the folks that are making them realities. Really looking forward (especially as the snow falls steadily outside my window) to getting to shows I couldn't make from Texas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
