Brassmen had a great shot at making finals both those years if they had gone. Yep... those were Hy's charts. Some of his finest work, IMO. Smart man Carman..needed more like him..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvu80 Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 (edited) This one is easy, and not even close IMO. Geneseo Knights. They dressed like the Vanguard and played like the Vanguard. Thirteenth in 1983 with that fantastic Russlan and Ludmilla show. They did not score or place like the Vanguard. 😞 Edited July 7, 2019 by wvu80 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldSnareDrummer Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Competed against the Knights many times in the 70s even going back to the Kewanee Knights.( they played tunes from Camelot a lot of those years - really pretty melodies ) They always seemed just on the cusp of some very good things. We had one of their guys instruct drums in '75 for a time who was also a medical intern at the time. He'd always get paged right in the middle of rehearsals and have to leave. I hadn't realized they placed so high in 83. Glad they found some success after all those years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Local priest sponsor (first St. Jos. Patron Church, then transferred to St. Rita's) just wanted the "kids" off the city streets into something positive. (I think Fr.'s early assignment was St. Rocco's, also Brooklyn.) Cluna knew his drill sgt. military style instruction (he also taught St. Ignatius) would wane once music educators were let into the room.

KeithHall Posted August 14, 2019 Author Share Posted August 14, 2019 You could add....Les Eclipse, Squires (definitely), Marquis, Charioteers, Seneca Princemen, Gauchos, Precisionaires, Offensive Lions, probably a lot more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
