kevingamin Posted September 4, 2011 Author Share Posted September 4, 2011 Horns move out of the way so the drums and show their stuff. That line of drums is intimidating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted September 4, 2011 Author Share Posted September 4, 2011 Now we get our Irish on. This IS the Reilly Raiders, after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted September 4, 2011 Author Share Posted September 4, 2011 Horns are doing a little Irish jig during a drum break! Fun! Horns now coming up to the front side line for the closer of Irish Eyes Are Smiling. Crowd is applauding continuously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevingamin Posted September 4, 2011 Author Share Posted September 4, 2011 There is a Bridgemen horn player already on the front side line in a lawn chair, reading a magazine while waiting for the rest of the corps to take the field. By the way, first time I noticed that the hat bands are pink or blue hued depending on the member. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff_demello Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Watching the Bridgemen getting ready to enter the field reminds me of the first time I saw them in their new uniforms at CYO in 1976. The BD busses were just entering the parking lot and we saw them ... we all went crazy! Even though we hadn't lost a show, we thought "OMG, they are going to kick our bu**s!" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
