The '69 show was my personal favourite and I'm glad you are doing some selections from that great show and that great year. With Commander Vic doing the drill the contras might actually have to march! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny Drum Corps Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 (edited) The last few years we have paid just due to one of our musical leaders with the music of Ed Cozzolino. The late sixties, however were the products of Al "Corky" Fabrizio. While the corps was always a NATIONAL finalist and NY State Champion during those years, we hope to bring some of that music back to life again. We want to get back to our roots, and would certainly welcome anybody interested in playing again. We are accepting members in brass, percussion and color guard.

KeithHall Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Back to your roots? Does this mean that many members will be overage? LOL I still have the 1969 NYS AL Recording with the St. Joe's DM at parade rest on the cover. Who else was on there? Albion Grenadiers, Brigadiers and someone else...anyone?

Donny Drum Corps Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Actually the Sweet Charity medley that we are thinking of was from 1970. We still are looking at some stuff from 1969 that was a another good year for the corps. As far as Bully goes, we will probably go back to the original that was from 1967 Cavaliers. That was the only arrangement that we did for years. I am not sure that if someone changes a couple of measures, it becomes their ARRANGEMENT. I hope that answers your question Mr. Vibrato.
