Katie Roe Ryan Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Hi everyone, If anyone can help me, it's you guys! My dad, Tom Roe, participated in, taught and judged drum corps for 40+ years and I don't have one single photo of him in uniform. I'm in the process of putting together a family wall with photos/memorabilia in my home, and I'd like a photo for next to his practice snare pad. He was in the '65 Royal Airs, St. Paul Scouts and Hamm's Indians (not sure which years). Even the group pictures I've seen of the '65 Royal Airs, my dad seems to be absent. Any help I can get would be tremendously helpful! Thank you! Katie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironlips Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 I remember your dad as a highly respected drum corps judge. I suggest you begin your search with Steve Vickers, publisher of Drum Corps World and several books with thousands of photos. He should also be able to put you in touch with Moe Knox who took more shots of drum corps events than anyone in history. Tom may have been a member of the PAS (Percussive Arts Society). They are headquartered in Indianapolis and could have photos. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Thunder Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Katie, I live in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area, so I am quite familiar with your Dad. I have hundreds of 8 X 10 glossy photos, but they are from the years just after your Dad was active, so I wouldn't have any with him. I'm sure I saw the Indians and Scouts when he marched with them, since they always appeared in my hometown 4th of July parades in the late 50s and early 60s. That was how I first got exposed to drum corps. I'll check to see if I can find anything. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a Moe Knox tribute Facebook group...maybe they can help https://www.facebook.com/HonoringMoeKnox/ Edited May 24, 2016 by MikeD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
