3rd Glasgow BB Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Hi all. My name is Tony and I've been a DCI fan since the early 80s. I Marched in the UK from 1981 - 1989 with the 3rd Glasgow Boys Brigade..... with varying degrees of success. I'm a Big Phantom Regiment Phan, my corps was coached by Jim Wren & Marty Hurley back in the 80s. I will be making a 5,000 mile pilgrimage to DCI finals in 2010.... needless to say I'm very excited about that! Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomPeashey Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I had a dear friend who was involved with the Glasgow corps - Jim Henderson ... he has passed but what a delight he was... got to take him to a number of shows in the states... what a drum corps fan he was... and SO Scottish... he loved his drum corps and he loved singing...

Good thing you didn't march Conquest Alliance in 86, or we'd be arguing about who tied who! (for the record...CA tied Dagenham....not the other way around!)

I remember Jim very well. In the early days he taught most of our brass how to play... he also gave me photography lessons. We have an ex-members facebook site and there's at least one photo of Jimmy, he's far right in this one..... Jimmy Henderson Photo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My abiding memory of 86 was us winning high percussion at every show we entered inc. prelims..... but not finals!!! 1986 was our last year in DCUK. In 1987 we dropped out when the powers that be raised the marching age to 25. You'll need to remind me, my memory of 86 and "that result" is a little hazy now but I seem to remember you guys came from nowhere to tie and the whole result was surrounded in controversy. I hear Dagenham have got some ex members back together, good on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
