I can’t imagine a bygone era in drum corps where you would vote for the most handsome male and prettiest girl. Perhaps it happened. The bygone era was known for toughness and grit, and the directors I know from that time would have loved the opportunity to wipe the pretty boy face off the most handsome male and dashed the beauty queen dreams of the prettiest girl. I don't know why I have the ending scene of Dirty Dancing going through my mind now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimF-LowBari Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 At the alumni meeting RB covered 2018 events and financial for 2019. Kind of like saying the person responsible for a train wreck will tell you what really happened. And financial for 2019... yeah he’s really stepping back...

I don't know what bothers me more, the fact that they actually vote on this, or the fact that they call the female version "prettiest girl" and the male version "most handsome male". Ah, the vestiges of a by-gone era! The last time i remember that happening was 1973. Good Lord. Smh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quad Aces Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 So Sue Blenski is still involved with the corps? Doesn’t that mean that Roman by default is too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Engrish. http://www.engrish.com/ If I describe it as Half a Church Tithe, does that help? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We never had that in the Westshoremen. We had the "Thoroughbred Posterior" award, though. And some guys used to try and get it. A couple would yell "Keep this one in mind for the Thoroughbred posterior!!!!" before they'd execute some rather amusing stunt. Hmm, maybe Pio could take $$$ for votes on one of those and make some money. I'd dig into my pocket for that! I even have a hunch on who to vote for.

Would be interesting to know which side of the RB fence the alumni at that meeting are on. Edited November 20, 2018 by JimF-LowBari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had these yearbooks and people were given awards. I got one for something that I can’t remember but it was definitely not the prettiest girl. Probably band nerd award or something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimF-LowBari Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Westshoremen would be “best acting like a psychotic” and “best not acting...” Always said of low brass “you may have been normal when you joined, but not when you left “. Mix of music majors, other college majors, high schoolers and blue collars to rev things up good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
