He (they were all-male then) had to put on the carrier, and then other people had to attach the drums. 68 or 69? God I’m getting old, I can’t remember.

Elphaba These countries do not have extradition treaties with the US. Mauritania, Micronesia, Moldova, Mongolia, Montenegro, Morocco, Mozambique, Namibia, Nepal, Niger, Oman, Qatar, Russia, Rwanda, Samoa, São Tomé & Príncipe, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Serbia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Togo, Tunisia, Uganda, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu, Vatican, Vietnam and Yemen. So, you combine that list with countries that do not require a visa to visit, and that would be my guess of places to start looking. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_requirements_for_United_States_citizens I would go with Micronesia. They speak English and there is no limit to the length of time US citizens can stay there. I feel like Jason Bourne.

Mike Boo is even involved as a source. Well worth perusing, even for a bit. https://etd.ohiolink.edu/!etd.send_file?accession=osu1461167753&disposition=inline Reading the section about early history, the document makes if seem like timpani first came along in 1972, when DCI started. They were around prior to that. We used them in Garfield in 1970, and many other corps used them in the late 60's before that. BAC, SCV, Kilties, St Joe's, Des Plaines, and Anaheim had them in 69, for example. BAC used bells through most of the 69 season, though not at VFW Nats, where they were no permitted. By the start of DCI, most of the top level corps had already been using timpani for a couple of years. The document is pretty accurate, though, besides that.

"Chronological snobbery" in general refers to an undefended proposition that the present is better than the past (or vice versa). There were a few remarks in those 40 pages that seem to show an assumption that changes in drum corps must be for the better. But those comments were only a minor blemish, in my opinion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
