Thx for sharing all of your great pictures and stories! You're welcome and yes, joy. The girls had Sr. and Jr. corps in 1977 and in years before. In 77, the Sr. corps had an average age of 16 1/2. Nancy is hugging her youngest sister Lisa (see also page 48, post #474 of this thread). Lisa was in the Jr. corps and too young to go to Europe with her sisters. btw, the 6 snares in 77 were very good. The 3 sisters continued with winter guard for years after our drum corps was discontinued September 1979. They were still young at that time. It's taken me about a year to get through 1,200+ pages of some old corps photos and enjoying the journey. Yeah, I like drum corps and winter guard.

HUGADA Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I was not in a drum corps family like so many I know. It was me and my identical twin sister for a year, (she was a flag and colorguard caption, I was a cymbal and snare drummer). I moved on, she did not. Although my mom totally supported me, she was not involved with the activity, but I give her full credit for letting me continue on. There are so many kids that HAD to quit drum corps because of college educations that parents would pay only for if they didn't do drum corps...money talks. I knew, however, that there would be life after drum corps and even let go opportunities to teach. It's great to see pics of the all-girl activity which, to my knowledge, is non-existent today, like so many other aspects of drum corps.

Vickie Kingsmen Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 OMG! Either those girls are really short or the flag poles are REALLY tall! And now you know why they didn't spin those flags back then!!!! It was hard enough in the mid 70's with 6 1/2' poles with spikes on the end!!!

It was hard enough in the mid 70's with 6 1/2' poles with spikes on the end!!! I think somewhere back in this thread someone had mentioned that those girls we're pre teens who marched in the Vanguard Cadet Corps. BTW, Carmen Cluna had our guard spinning those same 6.5' poles you mentioned back in 1967 when we were St. Joseph Patron Cadets. I posted a shot of them on the "Some Old Corps Photos Ad Yours" Topic.

Yup, pike stuck in the grass, yikes :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
