jwillis35 Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 As we wait to see what Blue Devils are doing this summer I thought you might enjoy this video. I think this was put together back in 2015 but I only stumbled on the video last night. It's a recollection of the 80s with some old staff members. So many interesting stories. They are even very complimentary of their competitors and how these things changed them. There is a crazy story about the 2-valve bugles in 1984 that they finally got tuning slides for both valves and how other drum corps directors thought they were illegal and how G Royer, Henderson of SCV and Phantom Regiment staff made Gordon Henderson test a bugle in the parking lot to make sure it could not play an Ab, which was supposedly illegal at that time. Don Pescione was there ready to disqualify them if the horn could produce the Ab. It's like OMG, how far behind the times could we be, but thanks to those advances the quality of the brass got better, even if you still prefer G bugles on the field. Anyway, this is a wonderful collection of thoughts and stories. Enjoy. Blue Devils Staff Remember the 1980s 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately, I was able to convince the authorities it was a G sharp. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, even on a three valve trumpet, you have to throw out the third valve slide to get the sucker in tune. Trying to hit an in tune Ab on a two valve … good luck! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
