One of them told the other it was 135 degrees at field level in the stadium. That’s insane. 🔥 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah... sorry 'bout that, bit of an inside joke. I knew Mike, Terri, and Jim would know who I was talking about. Tony Schlecta was the guy who ran the VFW Nationals drum corps championship for many years. He also was the announcer a number of those years... and had a tendency to, shall we say, imbibe a bit while doing the PA work. So... as the show went on, his announcements became more and more interesting. LOL. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
