Puppet Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Whoops! I thought age had gotten him! Sorry Moe! No NO! He's not gone. I only meant that in looking for things that affect the course of Drum Corps then to now is our ability to capture the images of the all young folks who participated. We've have no way of looking back. Moe pretty much started it all with his pics. Puppet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O.P. Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 It's a great, great drill, but less than half of it was asymmetrical. But it is brilliant.Topic? Word. Not sure of your point but the the drill was ground breaking and the talk of the activity among instructors and judges at the highest levels during the May and June period. Pete Emmons was encouraged by Angelica to seek such paradign shifts in drill concepts, many of which were considered sacrosanct and balshemy were you to go against them. Move a drum line off the 50? Have the horns so segmented and away from the drum line. Drummers marching formations?! It was a trying season, and Angelica insisted that SCV get it right and they were punished by the judges for the lack of performance standards that were expected, particularly from SCV who had won just two seasons previous. Granted Pete earned his place in the hall of fame for that year alone in my book, and he worked as hard as anyone I ever saw trying to execute and clean that drill. SO my intent is not to dimish what Pete's impact is to the activity. He is and always will be one of the giants of our industry. But the point is where do greats like Emmons, Moxley, Elvord, Zingali, Bruzali, Dorritie, Brubaker, etc get their inspiration? My answer is Angelica.

My point was simply that it's not an asymmetrical drill, it's a great drill with some formations that lack an axis of symmetry. But it was very influential, no doubt.

A27Lancer Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Everyone mentioned, for sure. Add George Oliviero, Peggy Twiggs, Denise Bonfiglio, Anne Fields to the group. Oh, and Ms. Gilligan. And I'm shocked nobody has mentioned Sandra Opie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm shocked nobody has mentioned Sandra Opie. Probably because no on in the West or Midwest know who those kind people are. I could say, Debbie Bujanski, Janet Dietz, Richard Kibbey, Cheryl Miles, and Randy Graves... but you'd all probably stare at me blankly. So many good people go unnoticed.
