Arianwen Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 I was there on the sidelines in Kingsmen uniform, waiting for the corps to finish. Got to have a fun celebration. After they came and told us the scores at the buses, since it was pouring down rain. Andrea Kinsgmen 72 -75 KAC 2005-2007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeD Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 And Whitewater was MUCH cooler than Dallas VFW prelims in 70.My God 71...70 was in Miami!

Ahhh yes, correct, but I remember people from all over the country passing out from the heat while those of us from New Orleans asked " whats wrong with them ?" ( and that year I marched in a black wool uniform at something like 2 in the afternoon ) That poor heavyset nurse under the Red Cross tent crapped when about ten kids in one corps all went down on the exit line.............ohhhh I said exit line.
