MikeD Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 It would be great if the staff showed the corps video of the Bridgemen and bring former staff and members in, Not only to capture the style of the Bridgemen but, the spirit and swagger of the Bridgemen. Those of us who were around at the time are eagerly anticipating this show. Good luck Surf! I can't imagine them NOT doing such a thing!

musclebud Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 (edited) This is really a cool idea. Bridgemen 1978 remains to this day in my top 3 shows musically. Their arrangement of Harlem Nocturne was incredible.... and Spanish Dreams is one of the best Drum Corps charts ever written IMHO. I almost forgot to mention Big Noise from Winetka a couple of years later...... wow. Edited October 28, 2011 by musclebud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUARDLING Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 personally I think there was 1 Bridgemen and to TRY to re - capture any of that would only come off , well lets say not so good. Noone wants to be looked at as a .............less than version 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surf has their own identity and should maintain that. I guess just reading someof the other posts ( silly me ..lol ) I got that impression...The swagger, style, attitude of the Bridgemen is nothing that could be taught, it reflected the times as well as the staff and a particular passion of the corps.

I agree with you on that. Let's hope they maintain their identity but channel a bit of old Bayonne! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
