That was SCV right after Candide in 74. Smh Edited February 24, 2020 by Jurassic Lancer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought this question was bizarre when I first started marching band in 1988. I guess we've all just gotten used this throw-back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkrepps Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 It's a tradition. Somebody has to say that or it's not Drum Corps and everything will just go to pot. I mean take that away and the next thing you know there'll be MMs in strange spandex outfits running around, using sousaphones, trombones, and God knows what else. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
