I never marched at Memorial stadium but that was a great place to watch a show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Tuma Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Best place to perform? The Pabst Theater in Milwaukee. The entire stage and shell vibrates and projects the sound into the audience. Oh, did you mean stadia? Oops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard: It really wasn’t hard, but the 65 VFW Nationals in the McCormack Place sure as helll was different. It was different but we all played the hell out of the recordings.

ironlips Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 " Memorial Stadium in Baltimore had the bleeping pitchers mound. " Yes, and when you turned "backfield", there was no backfield, just a symmetrically curved outfield wall that guaranteed instant disorientation. There were no yard markers, naturally. It was a baseball field, after all. There was a rumor about an orange cone somewhere, but I never saw it. The Manning Bowl was my favorite. I'm with Ghost on that. The audience was so close it was like playing in some oversize outdoor nightclub. What a great vibe. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"You have me stumped. I think the prelims were held at Mcormick Place. I remember going inside to a very large room. XXXXXXX seeing St. MARY'S as we marched by them XXXXXXX said to Dickie Pellitier, the DM, What are you doing here this is the Major Leagues. Also in the room was Casper, Cavies, SAC and Garfield. That is where they held inspection. The night before was beautiful for the Parade, and we woke to rain. It let up a bit as we went into McCormick Place. It was definitely McCormick Place." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poppycock Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 The worst field was Rockford, IL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xandandl Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 I am surprised no one has yet mentioned the hills and valleys in the field at Sevierville, Tenn before it was replaced. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
