lindap Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 We rehearsed in Lake Tahoe before traveling to Concord spring break 77. We took our A corps and winter guard. We couldn’t use bathroom facilities in Reno because most of our corps were under 18. We went skiing in Tahoe for a few hours. After a 20 minute lesson, I snowplowed all the way down. Fun!

lindap Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 In the spring of 1978 a bus tour company was started. Ed was a history teacher and I was a hotel front desk clerk at the time. At the new company, Ed was driver, I was tour guide. Our passengers were young at heart. A photograph I took of a widower and a widow that married a second time and of Ed our driver.

lindap Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 By summer of 1978 our drum corps was on the road again via Alberta > British Columbia > Washington > Oregon > California > Mexico > Arizona > New Mexico > Colorado for DCI finals > Wyoming > Montana and home again. The buses ran all year round for one more year. Then they became tour and winter guard buses for 10 years until 1988. Today, the buses run for the young at heart :smile:/> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Thunder Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 It's great that you documented the "behind the scenes" of your drum corps years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimF-LowBari Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 (edited) Thanks Linda, maybe it's the shot but that bus aisle looks real narrow..... Plus being a car buff that 70s compact in front of the buses 3 shots up is a hoot. It qualifies as an antique today.... :shutup:/> Edited December 11, 2012 by JimF-LowBari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
