He would give each of us who were 18 or older two beers at the end of rehearsal - and only two. There were only a couple of folks who were under 18, as I recall. Oh, and Jim loved Coors beer (not Coors Light, but the gold can), and it wasn't available east of the Mississippi back then, so these horn line beer gifts didn't commence until we crossed the Mississippi. A little bird told me the same thing... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The things that we were allowed to do in the Scouts, well, other drum corps were jealous of us. I remember touring with the Crossmen in 1981 and after the show near our buses, I fired up a cig and cracked open a bear, and this guy from Crossmen said to me "holy sh1t, you can do that? Is it allowed?" YUP! Scott Stewart always said that we will be treated like adults, just dont be stupid. We always had coolers full of cold one's in the bus luggage storage area. I will leave it there... I just remembered this...in 1981 right before taking the field at finals everyone in the Scouts was given a small cup of champagne and Scott Stewart made a toast to the corps...and then we sang MYNWA. I'll never forget it. Edited August 19, 2019 by FlamMan 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the same was posted here with respect to another corps and their directors behavior. Also remember the online employment reviews of the corps director told the same story that eventually came out. Your reply pretty much says the same thing as was then along with all the other who pile on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BD too, but it seems like there is more old Garfield/CBC/Cadets alums out there in key positions doing some amazing things with the activity. I was thinking the same thing, but those Devils seem to stay close to home and look what that gets them! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure you have noticed that I have not posted a single rumor. Only that a rumor existed. For me to have repeated what has been rumored, I would have had to actually post the freaking rumor.
