When you consider the amount of folks doing drum and baton corps and drum and bugle corps; plus the fifes: Americans were marching in the 60s/70s/80s. I found a pic of my first drum line-Dan taught it. Gotta scan it and post. Quote
Grandpa Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 Didn't Montage come down to REGIONAIRES in 81? Yep - Jim Stevenson and a lot of folks from Montage came on board in the last few weeks of the season. We wound up rewriting/relearning our whole show in the space of 2-3 weeks and still made it into finals. Quote

Tom Garrett the Corps Director of Regionaires at that time is marching with Niagara Militaires and is ###'t Corps Director.Other Regionaires in Militaires include DON PRICE-GIL BLANCHARD-MIKE DEKKER-BILL THOMPSON-LLOYD HATT-ANDY FAKLA to name a few.

Tlantzer Posted August 15, 2020 Posted August 15, 2020 The Carolettes from Altoona Pa were very good. Many state champion twirlers came from Carol Riley’s corps and for a while they had a really good drum line taught by Tom Petro Quote
