HockeyDad Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 To me .....this comes off as the nerd trying too hard to hang out with the cool kids. Better to acknowledge a nameless volunteer who has given so much more of themself than someone who was an actor in a tv show with a cult following 50 years ago, who also picked up a horn once or did a year in a corps when he/she was 17.. But that’s just me I guess. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the organization looking to spread awareness by inducting celebrities that have little or no drum corps background, but for me, that doesn't impress. The list of actual contributors to drum corps not in the WDCHOF is miles long. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apply Jim's response to the bio about Taki's 'life' and you will see why it is either a well thought out bit of witty humor or a great big unintentional honest mistake! Either way, it was funny and I laughed and laughed and laughed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She would blurt out something off the cuff but it made sense to her; some in the room would gasp, others like me would laugh. She would then have a perplexed look on her face while walking herself into yet another off the cuff statement. Thanks for evoking that memory, it has made my day and will keep me smiling for a while! 😅 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
