markdewine Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Donny is correct! It wasn't until Neal marched Blouseman, that he was able to carry his entire assembled drum kit....BY HIMSELF!!! You should see the harness system he came up with! I'm gonna see Neal and the boys at the great NY State Fair in early Sept. (Only a mile and a half from my house Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC oboist Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 And why doesn't anyone seem to dress as Santa for Halloween? Last year - My wife was the Virgin Mary. I was Joseph. Our five-year-old son was a manger cow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Cavalier TDY Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I know for sure he didn't march in Seneca and doubt he marched at all. Bruce is right, I myself, have never heard of a school in Canadawith a marching band... We were all about drum corps... North Toronto Collegiate had one. They weren't very good, but they were a marching band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyboy Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 I heard a nice long interview with Neil on Westwood One radio several years ago. A caller asked him if he ever marched drum corps and he said "no" but that he knew what it was and appriciated the drumming that corps did. If memory serves, he also said that question comes up often....ha. As a side note, the interveiwer asked why he doesn't correct people when they pronouce his name wrong, he said it is too late now and it doesn't really matter. Peart is not pronounced "Pert" like the shampoo, but "Piert"....like pier with a t on the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommytimp Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 In 1985, the Blue Knights put black tape across the top of the "L" on their Pearl bass drums. They played ELP that year, so I'm not sure why, except to be funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithHall Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 I thought so! I also believe that Geddy Lee was in the pan flute section too. If I am not mistaken, didn't Alex Lefeson march with Phantom Vanguard? The corps that would have been possible were...Chessmen from St Catherines, Conqueror from Hamilton, Grantham Police Boys, or TORONTO Optimists, Guelph Opti-Knights, York Lions, Flying Dutchmen, Cardinals and of course....THE BLOUSEMEN. Neil Peart marched Blousemen, thats it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perry S Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I thought so! I also believe that Geddy Lee was in the pan flute section too. If I am not mistaken, didn't Alex Lefeson march with Phantom Vanguard? Actually Alex Marched with INT up until 03 I believe. Can anyone confirm ?

Crosley Hgh School in nearby Fonthill has had a marching band ever since I can remember and still does. I'm sure the Niagara Area can't be the only place in Canada with a high School marching band.
