brassyNsassy Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 (edited) Same spot, Stadium is rebuilt. Statlers is still there, probably full of drum corps staff right now. (Most DCA kids are too young to get in!) Fred ... you'll love this one ... if this is the same stadium that used to host the show in the early 70's, there was a small bar across the street from the stadium (possibly Statlers) ... anyway, in 1972, we were supposed to go on 2nd so the drumline walked over to the bar and lined up our drums in front and we all went inside for a squirt ... well ... the corps that was supposed to go on 1st didn't show - so, they moved everyone's time up ... but we didn't know ... anyway, as the hornline was marching onto the field, Winky was running all over trying to find us ... when he finally burst into the bar he was like the Tasmanian Devil ... livid as ever ... the drumline calmly hooked up in the street and marched in parade formation to the field where the hornline was already in position - took our place and two seconds later started ... finished the show ... and marched right back to the bar ... oh ... somewhere along the line we won the show ... Enjoy Scranton tonight ... :-) Edited August 16, 2015 by brassyNsassy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fran Haring Posted August 16, 2015 Author Share Posted August 16, 2015 (edited) My little group (non-performing Buc Alumni) will begin rehearsal about 3PM at Cooper's Seafood Restaurant. We'll start by briefly working on the Bar kick-off piece, then spend time cleaning-up the Meal number, before our Exit to the stadium! Visitors welcome. Weather looks pretty solid, just a brief time for an early evening passing shower. This, according to Accuweather this morning. Big day in the Electric City ! I hope "rehearsal" went well at Cooper's. Perhaps a few run-throughs??? Edited August 16, 2015 by Fran Haring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
