JimF-LowBari Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 OK, I did read it right.... parents meeting.... Very cool and reminder of the late 70s when Sun and my corps were getting the dirty looks from some areas for having the "kiddie" corps. Of course Sun was also getting dirty looks for winning with said kids..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right Jim - the milk and cookies fueled a champion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right Jim - the milk and cookies fueled a champion. Think "Milk and cookies" was the phrase Fran Haring also used... and he was there... Now whoever gave me a -1 want to explain why? Sheesh I wasn't slamming and it was historically acurate.... oh I was aged 16-22 in my "kiddie corps" at the time....

TomPeashey Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Milk and Cookies? Back when? I think not! for those who were there - remember Carlton University Dorms - Ottawa, Ontario... one of the more memorable nights of my life... having been raised in drum corps, it took a lot of partying to impress me... I was impressed... all Sunrisers... and it wasn't milk and cookies... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piper Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 It makes sense to me. DCA is drawing a lot more younger members than it did years before and they have to deal with that. Smart move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was impressed... all Sunrisers... and it wasn't milk and cookies... :whistle: The "milk and cookies" moniker and another one... "kids and girls"... were given to us by at least one of our competitors back in the day. But... as Tom has alluded to here.... those nicknames were not necessarily an accurate description of us. Since we are in a different era now, and this is a public forum, I'll leave it at that. Edited December 2, 2012 by Fran Haring 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
