With the iconicity of props now, mini props could be a legit marketable thing.

I will take your entire stock. People might hate me for this but there's some shows that when I hear their name the props are first to come to mind

I am addicted to drum corps notecards and stationery paper, but very few souvenir stands offer such an item.

One year, Phantom Regiment did a note card set - maybe 20 or so years ago - with a dozen cards of 4 different images.

Another time, very long ago, a Division ll corps sold colorful 6x9 pads of paper, the bottom of a each sheet included several comic-drawn musicians and guard members with the wording A CORPS LINE.

Remember when you could buy those Troopers postcards from the canvas wagon? Best deal around. Was it ten for a dollar? One of the postcard pictures was taken at a rodeo, with a sunburst formation, if I recall correctly.

I probably bought and mailed over 100 of those Troopers postcards over the years.

I realize that paper doesn’t travel or age well.

Often times, I’ll prepare my own drum corps stationery notecards on a color copier. It’s easy to buy cheap envelopes at a thrift store or after Christmas. Having access to a paper trimmer/cutter is helpful.

 

 

 

Maybe a custom seal set with the corps logo or branded carrier pigeons? (Game of Thrones style)  

Made me think of this old FedEx commercial.

I certainly can’t hate you for your opinion, but what happened to remembering a corps’ performance for it’s musicality? If the props are the first thing that comes to mind, This is just my opinion, you’re missing so much.

Can you build me the Beast "Seesaw" for my desk? (@1:40) 😁

(Good Lord, that hornline.  I'm ready to go back to Indy next August; if I can get thru the gate.) 😂 

 

 

You mean the teeter-totter duck boat?

1. What would you like to buy at a corps souvenir stand but can't because they don't sell it? Or what is your dream souvenir?

I would love to buy a Phantom Regiment helmet, especially now that wearing headgear seems to be a thing of the past.  An iPhone case would be nice too but I don't recall seeing any in Indianapolis this year.

 

 

 

Got mine during a PR gala. $500, but so worth it!
