ironlips 1,145 Posted September 15 Report Share Posted September 15 Red championed "classical" music in Drum Corps. His scoring of the Verdi "Requiem" for the Reading Bucs set new standards, and inspired all of us who had aspirations to arrange for brass. We are forever in his debt for that and so many other brilliant musical moments. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Reading was playing “Requiem” my first year and heard comments from “years ahead of everyone else” to the dreaded “that ain’t Drum Corps”. Time to put in the 1974 Carlisle DVD to watch it again.

What I remember about 74 was the corp beating Cabs in Hershey and being booed off the field. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My parents, sister and I went and had to sit on the back side as concert side was sold out. Yep booing and blizzard of thrown programs is what I remember. And sitting on the other side got a real good look 😳 Edited September 16 by JimF-LowBari Quote Link to post Share on other sites
