CANDRUMMER Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Although not a "true" DCA personality I have to say the late GREAT Col. Truman W. Crawford USMC Ret'd. The man was a musical giant in the activity and assisted many Corps Jr.Sr. etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TennTux Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 No question on Walter Kelly - my favorite Walter moment is still 1980 DCA finals at Hershey with Westshore's pigeons mulling around the field.Absolute classic. Though MUCH funnier now.... It was not one of my favorites back then....LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimF-LowBari Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 My wife Kris discovered Drum Corps in the mid 80s and only saw a couple of local shows (Carlisle) until we really got back into it a few years back. Trying to describe George Parks and his impact and realized I was talking about three people who were IT during the time. George Parks, Butch Anderson and Jim(my) Russo. Thanks goodness she has the opportunity to see Jim in action. But it was so much fun trying to watch them top each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks goodness she has the opportunity to see Jim in action. But it was so much fun trying to watch them top each other. They had to develop a couple of categories when it came to handing out awards during retreat at a lot of contests, especially when Butch and Jimmy were in the same show. When Jim was given the Best DM award Butch would get the Best Showman award. The next week in would reverse with Butch getting Best DM and Jim getting Best Showman award. When all 3 of them were at the same show???? Anyone of them could have gotten the short end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
