In 1964, the Regiment converted to its original standard of a male and female corps with a return of the Phantomettes. As an aside, in one of our early years (between 1956 & 1960) a few MMs formed an all-male Color Guard and competed on the winter guard circuit; we called ourselves the Raiders; we lasted one year. These days, the Regiment's CG includes males and they are called Raiders. That's pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bottom line they were an eighth place corps with an eighth place brass line. If they want to move up, they need better captions across the board. If Jim Wunderlich is still on board, he may be putting together his own team. Edited September 1, 2019 by RContra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was something adverse about women, but I can't remember exactly. It was a dumb comment that he verbalized poorly, and he felt awful about it. Was it the “Cavies can be pushed harder in rehearsal because they’re all male” or something to that effect? I think he learned his lesson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The name I was floated has no trace that I can find. They worked with a top corps was all I was given. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueHangers Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Excited for Tuesday to see all the staff changes! Some I’ve heard are pretty shocking! Will be interesting to see how everyone survives the transitions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly why I hate this thread every year. Good lord, people. Edited September 1, 2019 by 2muchcoffeeman 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only there was a way to avoid reading stuff that you know will just make you angry. I wonder how that’s even possible. I mean, I guess you can just ignore the thread each year, but that’s just crazy talk! 🤪 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
