HollywoodNeoCon Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 (edited) You know what edge dressing is. If you wore black shoes, they probably once belonged to your dad. Your color guard had the same uniform as you. Except for the skirts and boots. You bring rolls of quarters on tour. For phone calls. Only the rich kids and bus drivers had cots and air mattresses. "Snack" either came from a vending machine or McDonald's. Roughly half the males in the corps had beards and looked 30. Your socks went up to your knees and had colored stripes. Your shorts were made of satin and came down just past your butt. Everyone smelled like coconuts. And Off. From an aerosol can. If you wore jeans, your back pockets were probably torn off. Your corps "mom" cussed like a sailor. Your sister was a fireman. Ok...that last one is timeless.

When I marched, it was a time in which the drum corps I was in had to work with what they had. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRASSO Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 The legal drinking age was 18 and you had a corps bar. Most of the snares has longer hair than anyone in the Color Guard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
