373405_228711420537417_245973634_n.jpgFirst rehearsal of the 2012 Defenders Alumni corps yesterday.

The tradition formula for DAC programming it to commemorate some the Holy Family Defenders & Defenders of Plymouth County.

Then, we recreate some of the "benchmark" numbers of the heyday of Old Time Drum Corps.

For 2012 we added a ballad commemorating Anaheim Kinsmen's 1974 arrangement of "So Very Hard To Go." (This video was our first run-thru.) It was dedicated it to hopes for the quick recovery of Kingsman Ron Cain, their Lead Soprano of this song.

Other commemorative numbers include "MacArthur Park" as performed by 1972 Madison Scouts, "Legend of One-Eyed Sailor" by 1975 Blue Devils. (Filmed by BFD-TV's Dave Halter.)

Yup: Thanks for the catch. Sux to get old.

BTW, we are failthfully following the actual 1973 Arikat/Kupka Anaheim charts, with permission of the KingsmenAlumni Corps. We dedicated it to the recovery of Kingsman Ron Cain, who played the soprano solo in the 1974 Kingsmen field show.
