Commander71 Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 SAW my first show in 1959 in Hamilton, Ontario. I was 6 years old. I recall being underneath the stands and Archer-Epler Musketeers were lined up waiting to go on. One of the snare drummers let this snot-nosed 6 year old tap a little bit on his drum and I was HOOKED! First year marching was 1964 with Navy League Cadet Corps "Cougar" in Hamilton. About 10 G valve/slide soprano horns, a couple glockenspiels and 3 snare drums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixtysomething Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 As a bit of a digression from another thread, I'd be interested in hearing when some of you began your drum corps career. 1961 First parade and field show Retired 1972 Re-started 1995 Last yr 2006 Statesmen (2009?)
