3rd Glasgow BB Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Has there ever been a Drum Corps Radio station? Should there be? I think it would be a great idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markdewine Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 When I was a kid, I used to listen to a drum corps program on an AM radio station in Oswego, NY. It's call letters were "WSGO" In addition to audio clips of various corps, there was often interviews with various drum corps personalities of the day. The DJ / moderater was none other than Mr. Tom Peashey, currently a DCA PR man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRASSO Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 (edited) Has there ever been a Drum Corps Radio station? Should there be? I think it would be a great idea. In the heydey of Drum Corps in the 60's and 70's there were between a half dozen to a dozen radio stations around various parts of the country where that station would have a half hour to a 2 hour regularly scheduled format devoted to Drum Corps. They might have a Drum Major or Corps Director interviewed for the listeners, discuss upcoming competitions, score and placements, historical Corps discussons, and play on the air about to be released Corps recordings from Fleetwood Records or other labels, and so forth. The shows were awesome if you were a marcher or fan. The shows for a time were commercially successful for the station as it attracted good sized audiences and advertisers for that time frame. But as Corps disbanded, so too did these stations providing Drum Corps radio on the AM dial..........." Dice" does a real service to the activity now with his station playing Drum Corps music with that format.

What a character, and he had a radio show for a few years...I even have recordings of him behind the mike...further motivation to get that stuff on disc! I'm happy for this thread just to get his name out there 'cause he was the real deal out here! cg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
