lindap Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 How's this for a booster window decal? One of these days I'll have to start scanning my hundreds of buttons. Then I can start on posters, patches, uniform parts....... iy yi yi. I've got a major museum here. I like this window decal. Thank you ...and I like buttons, patches and...no rush, scan when you can :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryD Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 The drawing was created by Harold Davis, a student of the late Bobby Thompson - when Harold was 11 years old. Bobby was Harold's first drum instructor. Harold relates that Thompson "...told me about Blessed Sacrament and gave me a Dream contest album...maybe 1959 or 1960. I played it all the time, practicing the [rudimental] bass drum solos.... I would draw pictures in crayon of some of the top drum corps. ...I was visiting my Mom in NYC a couple of months ago [and found that one of the pictures had] survived. I marched with St. Roccos Cadets, then the New York Skyliners. I'm now a studio drummer, recording sound tracks for movies and for jazz and pop artist, including Les McCann, Stevie Wonder, Average White Band, the late Grover Washington, Jr., and others. I'll always remember Mr. Thompson - the man who helped a poor kid from NYC!" Many thanks to Harold for sharing his picture and the story behind it.

GaryD Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 ...the first winning season: ...and the final competing season. Note: BSGK was a founding member of DCI, but decided not to attend the first DCI championship in Whitewater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
