hughesmr Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Loved it. And it didn't need to be at 200bpm now, did it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ContraFart Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 I remember seeing a British group like this about 15 years ago, it was slightly smaller and performed on a regular stage, not quite Blast, but freaking awesome!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garfield Posted October 1, 2010 Author Share Posted October 1, 2010 Quite impressive to see the corporate sponsorship behind the Virginia Arts Tattoo. And DCI can only get music retailers as primary sponsors? Anyone ever asked BoA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zachariaswmb Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 This looks interesting! Hey, it's the crescendo bicycle band! We had a member at Empire this year who travelled over from Holland to march, and he has been "marching" with crescendo for years! This was his first year over here, but his brother and a friend of his brother's came over in (I think?) 2002. They're fantastic, and Leonard was a ton of fun to have around. If you watch videos of Crescendo the that site (and I highly recommend it), you'll see a member doing solos on a unicycle. That would be Leonard. He brought his unicycle over to the states, and would ride it around everywhere. There are videos of him riding down suburban streets (he stayed with corps members), and playing his horn, with the local kids following him around on their bikes. A great guy, and a lifetime worth of stories involving him from his summer here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember those guys cycling around the field while playing sopranos during "Officer Krupke" that summer with Empire!

They looked like bell hops and all I could picture was "Call for Phillip Morris!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
