MetalTones2012 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Raiders - Bay-own Bridgemen I haven't heard that one before, but it makes sense. A couple of good nicknames I've heard for this corps were the Raiders of the Lost Cause and the Radars (that one's from an announcer mispronunciation I believe). Speaking of which, this is a great thread to discuss announcer flaws! I'm sure a lot of nicknames could come out of those! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Brace Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 I remember a bus driver and myself...up late driving one night...were discussing political correctness. So we decided for the rest of the tour we'd no longer use any non-PC terms in drum corps. Glasspeople or Glassfolks Crosspeople or Crossfolks etc.. Too much coffee...too little sleep. I still call them the Glass People. Of course...their olde name....Mommy's Sins comes to mind as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appleknocker Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Funny...I remember calling Phantom that. From History of the Racine Scouts,.... When the musical Explorer Scout post was formed, the boys doffed their official Boy Scout fatigue green uniforms for the red, white and blue uniforms of today. Now officially they became the Racine Explorer Scout drum and bugle corps, however they immediately became more affectionately called the “Chrome Domes” because of their shiny new chrome uniform helmets.

CorpsLife Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 For a period of time Adidas put "The Brand With The 3 Stripes" on all their gear. So For a little while there I was calling Crown "The Band With The 3 Stripes" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madscout96 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Blah Knights, from Denver CO Tragic of Snore-lando Black Fold, from Tulsa OK Nobody said any for Pioneer yet? Pile o' Queers (known by many) Milwaukee Mickeys (known by none, I made it up and never shared it with anyone until now.) And while Capitol Sound was still under the same organizational umbrella as the Madison Scouts, they received alot of the Scouts' old percussion and guard equipment and some old guard uniforms too, which led them to be known as: Capitol Hand-me-down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
