Bucbari Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 (edited) Heh... 1981 and '82, we had an exhibition around July 4th weekend. We were hired by publisher/Mets owner Nelson Doubleday to play at a country club on Long Island.... he either owned the club or was a member, and it was basically a cookout/party for his friends. We did our full drill down on a field, while all the rich muckity-mucks were up on the hill watching us. Most, if not all of them, were drunk. So basically, they had no idea what was going on below. And we took full advantage of that, screwing around when we could get away with it during the performance. I seem to remember at least a couple of our horn players switching drill spots, stuff like that. LOL. Whatever ... it was a nice paycheck for the corps!!! You going to tell the room what Dave did? Or does that stay in the vault...lol Edited May 18, 2016 by Bucbari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fran Haring Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Bummer! Come on George! You can do it! It's a different era, guys. Some of the "back in the day" stuff is best left for private consumption. Moving on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fran Haring Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Come on Fran you've told it before Yeah, I have. But no more... not on a public forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fran Haring Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Don't mean to sound like such a grump....LOL.... But... I figure since Sun still has an active corps, and they are trying to grow their organization, some of the "war stories" from that corps' days gone by, in a public forum, are probably not helpful.
