CODI Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Those were the good old days!!! You listened, and you obeyed as to what was to happen. Isn't it funhy that Manning Bowl was sold out during those years, and some great show were to be seen. Meanwhile, DCI is having trouble filling the stadium through the years. Attendance has dropped!!! Remember the big crowds in Montreal!! Plus, we had some great bistros that we could enjoy the ambiance of Montreal! I am sure Indianapolis has some great McDonalds, and Burger Kings. The Party is over, and it is only a matter of time before DCI self destructs!!!

Puppet Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 A friend emailed the R&R from '66 the other day. It reminded me of how we all so detested the judges. They were so subjective. I remember being followed relentlessly at one show by the same single horn judge just waiting for me to crack a note while there were others who would just stand back listening and smiling. The 'tic" was a baaad man back then. Puppet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things change. We need to adapt or stay home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindap Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 i don’t remember getting ticks…as a drum major…afraid of heights so a podium was out of the question…however, the 3 of us, myself and 2 guard captains, both armed with sabres, often found the judges were in our drill and in our way during the difficult musical passage…we improvised our drill almost every contest… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CODI Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 The first World Open was in September at Roosevelt Stadium in Jersey City, N.J. where both Juniors and seniors performed. In 1964 it was held at Hedges Stadium in Bridgeport right after the VFW's which were held in Cleve, Ohio. What a lineup of corps that year, with Chicago, Racine, SAC, BAC, Seldon, St. Lucy's. Hedges Stadium was a much smaller stadium, so the next year they moved to the new JFK Stadium which was also in Bridgeport. In 1965 the World Open was moved to Lynn. Fleetwood Recordsand DCN's had their offices in the next city in Revere. The move made since, and at that time Manning Bowl was in good shape.
