noneofyourbusiness Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I swear I remember seeing the Troopers on a Nat TV football game. It was a year of two before I started marching and wondered about those funny lookinh "tubas".Must have been around 68 or 79 I know they did a Denver Broncos halftime that was televised way back when. I was at a corps party at the time and we all stopped the party to watch them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh my gosh. I rember being there in the early '70s and doing our show for them. I'll never forget the wooden benches that were so worn out that we got splinters (you know where) sitting there and watching the game. I think it was pretty much near the end of Kezar stadiums life. Candlestick Park was coming into being then (brrrrrr). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldMonster Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 The Long Island Kingsmen did two television commercials:The first was the commercial that introduced Diet RC Cola back in the early 70's (72??), featuring just our color guard and an air-head actress as the guard captain. It was filmed at Fordham University on a blistering hot summer day. It took the air-head 72 takes to get her lines right . The second was a commercial for Macy's Fourth of July Fireworks in NYC. The first part was filmed in the basement of the main store in Herald Square. Due to traffic on the Long Island Expressway and in the Midtown Tunnel, we were late getting into NYC and had ten minutes to change into uniforms and get all of our equipment down into the store. Like all good drum corps members of the late 70's, we just stood outside our buses in the middle of Herald Square and changed. The site of 100+ members changing in the middle of the Square was enough to stop even the most hardened NYer . The second part of the commercial was filmed in a park on the upper west side at dusk. We got to practice there all day and then finish the commercial as the sun went down. Macy's used that commercial for several years to advertise the fireworks show in the NY area. A few years ago, I did contact Macy's to see if I could buy a copy of that commercial....but had no luck with any kind of response from them.
