KeithHall Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 My whole time in drum corps throughout the 1970's was spent on school buses. How many of you rode those instead of the coaches? I know Squires (Watkins Glen) did school buses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Squires (Watkins Glen) did school buses. Both Garden State Circuit corps I taught in the mid 70's used (crappy old) school busses, the Imperial Guardsmen and the Wayne Monarchs/King's Regiment (after a merger).

GUARDLING Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 never.....thank GOD...although some of the coaches bitd were no bargain either, especially on long trips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bass5 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I believe up until 1975 the Scouts always traveled on School buses when they were in Wisconsin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHRISP Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I seem to remember seeing a picture of a Schaumberg Guardsmen school bus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old School Contra Guy Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 We (Silver Sabres) took school buses to area shows (within Kansas) but if we traveled out of state or to a larger show we took chartered Trailways buses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pearlsnaredrummer77 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 We took school buses everywhere. I actually preferred them, b/c you could sleep in the luggage compartments above, under the seats, in the aisle, etc. The only bad thing was no port-o-pot! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gak27 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 We always rode school buses - repainted in corps colors - although we didn't have the luggage compartment "upgrade" Figured it appropriate to have this posted adjacent to the GBV post... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnZ Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 we always thought how 'high end' you all were pulling in to shows having buses painted in your colors. ours were yellow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimF-LowBari Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 My Sr corps had an exhibition show at Hershey, PA day after DCI Finals at Philly. Kilties had at least one school bus that was painted a different color. Remember it as saw them pull out and the back door was open and one guy was sitting on the edge with his feet hanging out. Never knew Royal Crusadeers had school buses, was in college MB with a 77 member of the corps (Rob Spence - bari). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
