The history of the Westshoremen


Recommended Posts

Yeah, yeah... this is a York Dispatch article about "Gang Green" but Rick Adams (in the pic) was with the 6-week corps in 1984 plus 1985 season. Ex-Bahston Crusader and no idea what other years he was with Westshore.

Also Bill Reese (quoted in article) was on the first Red Carpet Association BoD, along with Chuck Saia.

"Gang Green" - <$1 to NY Daily News> It's the NYDNs pet term for the Jets football team.

:worthy: I'll have to ask him what number comes between 26 and 28. :tongue: Also have to ask what the Bahston crew called the Finleyville, PA Royal Crusaders. It was funny but can't remember.

Funny thing is Rick joined a while back but we didn't recognize each other. Then I overheard him say he was in Westshore when they learned a show in six weeks and I was like --> :tongue:

One of the 6 week Contras was in Hanover until recently but think the economy bit his job in the butt. :tongue:

I first met Rick in 85 when he did the drill for Camp Hill HS, of which i was a proud member.

I made him explain why no #27...I laughed for days. However most of the band had no drum corps knowledge, so I instead got them to yell 27 every time we hit that number when counting drill

There is a facebook account with our email addie but it's in Kristas name. We haven't done more than log in twice and get my sis to join as a friend. We'll use WSM as a test to learn how to join groups or get to pages or what ever the #### is done there. But won't be trying it out until we quit going to Therapy three nights a week on top of the Holiday stuff.

Thanks for the headup....

Think I uploaded all my corps snapshots to these sites. Feel free to copy 'em....

Edit: OK my wife just joined the group (Facebook doesn't allow two people to use the same email address :grouphug: ). Maybe we'll look at it again in a month or two. :tongue:
