grenadasmoothie Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 I know you were all dying of suspense - Made it before last call, after Cabs' encore! Hello Mr. Walker! Good night all - Let's do it again in a couple weeks :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayfallon Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Manning Bowl... 1981. We (Sun) won the Boston Cup show that night. However... the mellophone/French horn duet I was a part of in "Late in the Evening" didn't go so well that evening. LOL. The mellophone player and I both... well... sucked that night. :tongue:/> By far our worst performance of the duet all season, even counting rehearsals. We gacked that thing beyond all comprehension at the Lynn show. So, of course our corps wins the show... and the whole corps wants to listen to the judges' tapes. Over... and over... and over... including, of course, the frackfest. Go figure. :lol:/> similar story from 1976 - first note of Procession of the Nobles my rotary (on my *#@**^ Smith baritone - the horns were so bad they used a pseudonym like checking into the No Tell Motel) breaks. I can't play the show - I have to cue the late Georgie Smith to play the solo in Spain. I'm downhearted (seeing as I'm also the brass guy). What happens? Sun wins - only time we beat Hawthorne all year. You think I caught any #### about that? "hey Ray, maybe you should take yourself out of the show altogether!" (Thanks, Pete) I feel your pain... although I don't remember gacking any solos or duets while I was playing in Sun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrlandoContraAlum Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 No offense to the exhibition or alumni corps, I truly mean no disrespect, but as a marching member of a competing corps I found it to be a bit too much. When I marched, I enjoyed the shows, but if you had to wait for 3 exhibition corps or alumni corps, THEN full corps retreat it ended up being a long night and long travels home. So when are the exhibition or alumni corps supposed to get a chance to perform? We do it for the same reasons that you used to... the thrill of putting on a show. By the way, I am not sure when the Defenders went on, but we (Bridgemen) and Cabs Alumni closed the show, and did so to standing ovations. So, we (the exhibition corps) win, and the crowd wins. Sorry about the long travel home (we ALL know how much that sucks) but give us geezers a break! :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
