This was drill team, pre-Blue Devils. Short skirts and HUGE rifles! I still have this one from the picture and can barely spin it anymore!

There's the sweet, innocent girl I met in '73!!!

I made such a concerted effort not to corrupt you.... :laughing:

I used to sit and listen to SCV's rifles on the recordings over and over... Spinning click, click, click, click, catch, toss 2, 3, catch. It was all so clear in my head...

That's because they had metal shanks taped into their straps....you never know when you're gonna have to break one out :laughing:
