ironlips Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 In the Explorer Scout photo there are 2 guys indicated by Ten Tux's hint. Now, guess who's who. Another hint: The right answer would be a guy who has a lot in common with Ray Fallon, and I do mean a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fran Haring Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) The man on the field, smiling and wearing the T-shirt... has been involved with many corps through the years, as a performer, instructor, and administrator. CT Hurricanes, Bridgemen, Heat Wave... to name a few. A decision he made while with Heat Wave from Florida helped change DCA history, IMO. Stay tuned for that answer. LOL. In 1997, this man made the decision to bring Heat Wave north to compete in DCA's first-ever Class A championship show. That decision... by the first true Deep South corps to come to the championship... (yes, I know Yankee Rebels were considered a "Southern corps" for many years, but then again, Steel City Ambassadors from Pittsburgh were considered a "Western corps"....LOL)... opened new frontiers for DCA. Minnesota Brass had been the "MIdwestern pioneer" for DCA, along with occasional forays by others (Chicago Connection, Boys/Spirit of '76, Chicago Vanguard for several years, among others)... but the South was, for all intents and purposes, barren territory. Until Heat Wave in 1997. Heat Wave's decision opened the door for corps from Atlanta, North Carolina, Tennessee, etc... and others from Florida. And then came more corps from the Midwest (Kilties, Govenaires, Chops, and so forth) and the West (S.F. Renegades, SoCal Dream, Bayou City Blues, etc.). DCA has never looked back.

TennTux Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 great seeing many of you at DCA - I had a blast hanging out with Kidsgrove Scouts... Freddie Farkle enjoy the show? I only saw him at Mini Corps It was GREAT seeing you Friday evening! Donna was thrilled to meet a Drum Corps super star! (That's what Freddy calls you. Don't let that go to your head, he calls Andyroo the same thing for taking him to Hawaii. ) Though Freddy got to see WAY more countries than either Steve OR I have traveling with you! Freddy never shut up about me keeping him in his travel home most of the weekend... (my "Freddy" back pack) What? He can still hear everything, it's not like chickens have great eyesight! Bob Fitzpatrick (Steel City and Reilly Baritone) brought Freddy over to visit with Steel City so Hairbear can get a few pics of his (Steve) kid (Freddy) with his Corps...
