JimF-LowBari Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 (edited) * bump* Cranked the volume on the 1974 Carlisle show last night and heard the start of a conversation that I wish could have heard the whole thing. As the host corps started out you hear two voices: "...trying to to get the support of the local (fans?)...." ".. what's the difference between DCI and DCA..." "...<inaudible as the corps started playing>..." Well that's as I remember it, may try it again when the wife doesn't get mad for rattling the windows. Seeing how it looks like the camera was on top of the press box the only voices should have been the guys filming. Possibly Mr Jones himself ready to give some knowledge as "that" group on the field drowned him out. Would have been an interesting discussion as DCI was only in it's third season. Sometimes the background is more interesting that the foreground.... Edited November 10, 2009 by JimF-3rdBari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrunchyTenor Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 (edited) I sent the picture in question to member of the Troop's 75 guard, and she had no idea where it was. She suggested it was an early season show, and then proceeded to critique the guard! 34 years later and still a perfectionist! Way to go, Vicki!

pammy6917 Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 definitely not Manning Bowl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bananaboyz Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Sure does resemble Manning Bowl with those two light towers ni the background. I recall watching a video of the US Open and that missing grass patch seems like it could be the same field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECJ94 Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 "The Heights"? Possibly Alumni Stadium at Boston College? I know that a number of shows were held there back in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennTux Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 definitely not Manning Bowl I agree with Pam.... Having lived in Lynn (for 21 years) and across the street from Manning Bowl for several of those years, this is not Manning Bowl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottgordon Posted March 11, 2010 Author Share Posted March 11, 2010 "The Heights"? Possibly Alumni Stadium at Boston College? I know that a number of shows were held there back in the day. Oh, now that's the most promising possibility I've heard yet, given the yell at the beginning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlbergin Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 I think we have a winner with Alumni Stadium at Boston College. Here is an era photo of the stadium side by side with the Troopers picture. What do ya'll think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRASSO Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 (edited) Sorry, that picture link didn't work. Lets try this one Boston College's Alumni Stadium has been used for 2 national ( or regional ) Drum Corps shows. " Mission Drums " ( Senior Corps ) and The CYO Nationals " ( junior Corps). If this picture is from 1975, then it is not from Boston College's stadium. The Troopers were not at the CYO Nationals in 1975. This much I am certain about. If this is from Massachusetts, and folks believe it is taken "in 1975 ", then a possibilty could be Cawley Stadium in Lowell, Ma. There were some some national touring Corps that were there in the mid 70's ( Racine Kilties for one ) that competed in this stadium, although I don't recall the Troopers being there.... but who knows. I know for a fact that the Troopers competed in Winchester, Ma., and this looks very much like that stadium at Manchester Field ( 12-24 rows backfield ), but this would have been in the late 60's around 1967-1968, not 1975.
