84skyrydr Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Interesting. In 2008 we sometimes jokingly referred to ourselves as the Star of Ohio because most of our visual staff marched Star from around 88-92 or 93. That didn't last long.I'd have to say that my biggest Bluecoat hype is the BLOOing. Interesting that anyone would call any blue corps the "Blue Team" considering just how many blue corps there are. Um yeah, I hate to tell you, they weren't Blooing..... kidding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyfromhowardst Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Ok Kilties would be Mad Plaid, Racine Scouts would be Chrome Domes, Santa Clara was The Great SCV (Midwest, 70's), Americanos or 'canos would occasionally have to be reminded to dust off their sombreros. (doesn't really count but amusing) Green Machine would sometimes get translated to Mean Spleen, We tried to turn Madison into Sadison, but they were winning at the time and it didn't take. After '75 the Muchachos were referred to as the Cabs, but I think that was just kinda' mean. I remember others---not really fit for print!

rgortowski Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 In the early - mid 70's SCV - was, of course, the Van GOD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During finals week, the Colts (Red Team) got a letter from the Bluecoats, signed "The Blue Team." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bccadet09 Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 The Cadets mellophone section is often referred to as the "Golden Section"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
84BDsop Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 The Cadets mellophone section is often referred to as the "Golden Section"... Given the tendency of Cadets back in the day to add freakish runs to the mellos, the nick should be "Blazing Valves"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm... I don't recall hearing about this. Then again, 2008 was a pretty crazy summer, and I had a lot on my mind then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mckdan Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I remember Troopers being known as "F-Troop" (from the old TV show, not from what Crossmen said to us after 1979). The colorguard was known, before the massive wave of of political correctness, as the "Black #####es" (for the color of their guard uniforms, and what the competition called them in their early winterguard competitions).

BAC oboist Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 The Freelancers were often referred to as the Flearanchers or the Freebasers We called them "Freeloaders." Another awesome corps that is no longer with us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
