He never marched but his niece did (Bridgemen) and of course I did. He always loved the 27th. It always looked so comfortable to me. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I think it's really because the uniforms back then WERE iconic. You always knew when 27th or BD or Phantom was coming onto the field and it built excitement before the first note was played. Now, I have to wait to hear the corps announcement sometimes to know who it is I'm dealing with. But again, man those things must be SO comfy by comparison. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its ironic that in this era of societal diversity, drum corps has gone the other way towards homogenization. I miss drum corps with a British, Scottish, Spanish, Mexican, Jazz, classical, & Broadway theme. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
