dckid80 Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Funny thing is there were some crazy people in my corps that thought we should have beaten you in Birmingham. They were in serious denial. We were nowhere clean enough to be as close as we were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Colorgurad Captain trying to get the Drum Majors attention that we were on the 45 yard line itself was hallarious. This was a very awesome season for all who marched Boston in 1979 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKEK_SOP Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 (edited) No we lost a lead soprano player to a car accident in the spring, Tony Smith, wrote the drill for 25 horns and a black space for that sop player. The drill was amazing and used the entire field. The brass coordination and staging created some major impacts and that rifle line was great Edited May 27, 2008 by SKEK_SOP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LancerLegend Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Dusti - I think this is why you started this thread. I think this is from 1978, but need a Crusader to verify. Kirk Dorr in front, older brother Doug on Waldo. Kirk's twin, Erik did not make this photo, but is playing the smaller bass. This photo is from the the late 90's. Erik on the left, his best man, Lt. Colonel Kirk Dorr on the right. Kirk was a Captain when this photo was taken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I try to resize them them they become very unlegeble. When I use a magnifying glass I see the 2 Dorrs on Cymbals, I think it might be 1980?

Malibu Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 (edited) Dusti, here's a few from '79 Allentown Prelims and Finals; Yeah Tony Smith came up with some wild drill ideas. I have you know, that when he would come to our practices, sometimes he would be wearing a Boston Crusader T-Shirt.

In the bottom picture l am the last Bari on the left side. Tony's drill that year was basically a follow the leader type of one with myself on one side and another bari Tuna, on the other. Those are great pics l havent seen them before thanks for the post.. wish someone had some video of that year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
