1990_RookOut Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 To be ready when the judges crucify them for being a crowd favorite? Ok, that was a good one. Best of luck to the men of Madison this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bass5 Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 (edited) fyi, my nail is Ray Baumgart. he worked with Madison in the pre-dci years. he arranged the current version of "May You Never Walk Alone" that the men still play today. unfortunately he has passed away so i'll never get to speak with him, but may of the guys' nails are still alive and in regular contact with them. as for myself, every time i hear the corps play MYNWA i feel a little something extra.the '10 corps first show is tonight and i'd give anything to be there just before step-off when they start singing. DO IT UP MADISON!!! YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE!!!! Wow, what an honor to to have Ray Baumgardt as your NAIL. Just one correction, although Ray did work with Madison (and the Cavies) in the pre-DCI years (he arranged both of their '71 shows) he arranged for Madison in the DCI years from 72 through 76. Thus his aforementioned induction into the DCI hall of fame this year (which in my opinion is about 30 years late). I saw on the Scouts facebook page awhile back that his family will be at Drums On Parade in Madison this weekend as the Scouts honor Ray's induction into the HOF.
