I hope they stick around in the future. Our rifle line was OK. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sutasaurus Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 It was all about Military Bearing then. The precision of movement And carriage over the randomness of dance. Nothing wrong with either. I just prefer synchronicity in my drum corps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sutasaurus Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 (edited) I will always have a fond spot in my heart forThe Kingsmen and 27. Kingsmen were bad A$$ in such a good way and 27 were tradition and majesty at it’s zenith. I was humbled and honored to compete with you. Both of your organizations set the bar much higher for the rest of us. Edited September 30, 2019 by Sutasaurus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the Phantomettes truly earned their place in the pantheon of color guards. Those were some dedicated, focused and hard working women. And I feel fortunate to call them my phamily. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingsmen color guard did it first in 1973’s “off the line” (ancient term?) and again in 1974 at the end of drum solo. A man named Stanley Knaub invented it. PR did a version later in, I think, 1977, 1978? At the time we thought it looked familiar. Ha Ha! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
