hairbear Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Harvey Olderman and George Parks. Also, "new school": The S.F. Renegades, for not just "pushing the envelope", but shoving it right off the cliff! I mean that in a GOOD way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nngs9 Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 (edited) Man.... that's the "A Team" right there. Two legends. Right on! i never actually met Pepe but i remember circa 90 in Allentown watching him run a rehearsal(don't even remember what corps it was that he was teaching) for a really tiny corps, Pepe had serious passion, i remember wishing i was in that corps at that time. And on the Vince Bruni tip, there are just no words that i can think of! But i will quote a fellow '94 Statesmen. "God sent" . Having said all that, at the end of the day, for me, the one true "god sent" in my personal/drumcorps life is none other than,................................ Mr. Bill Mcrath Jr!!! This guy is a living legend and in my opinion, drumcorps personified. Edited September 16, 2010 by nngs9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hairbear Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Mike "Cozy" Baker (RIP) ... the consummate drum corps fan / performer / teacher / writer / antagonist / volunteer / showman / apostle / icon / Personality - with a capital P. Cozy did it all and loved every minute of it. pardon my "off topic" story about my friend Cozy Baker: Cozy was my houseguest for several weeks after we returned from DCA in 2008. He spent most nights on my computer, writing articles that covered DCA for both DCP and Drumcorpsworld. We both maintained our independent "life scedules". I was sitting in my chair watching T.V. as Cozy was typing away when all of a sudden He jumped up from the desk and ran to the kitchen! I saw a blur pass by the T.V.!! Cozy had pre-heated the oven to the required temperature, in preperation for a frozen pizza. Unbeknownest to Cozy, I stored several pots and pans AND a plastic cullender in the stove! I went to the kitchen and removed a big blob of yellow plastic from the oven, held it in the air with a pot-holder and announced to Cozy: "Your Cullender is done". LOLOL!! I called Dominos and ordered a pizza. cause THATS how we roll. I miss him every day. DCA had no greater friend and supporter than Cozy Baker. Rest assured, He was with us in spirit at this year's championships! I saw him in a rainbow when Kilties took the field saturday. I saw him when Cincinnati Tradition took the field for their FIRST DCA appearance. I saw him when Corpvets hit us all with a wall of sound! And I saw him when Renegades maintained their top ten status. I saw him when Empire Statesmen fired on ALL cylinders, doing just as Mr. B would have them do: ENTERTAIN the Audience! Now: Back to our topic, with my thanks for your patience! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
