Tansea Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 I'm still waiting for my invitation in the mail ? You did send it.......... didn't you ? If you can make it to semi-finals in Pasadena next year, follow the Kingsmen Alumni corps out to the parking lot after the show, than this stands as your invitation....all are welcome.

I have a better idea, why not get married AFTER the Kingsmen ALUMNI perform at the 50 yard line ?? b**bs b**bs THAT would be a first for DCI !!! That would be a lot of thank you cards !!! If I can't make, consider this my congratulations in advance !! ^OO^ ^OO^ ^OO^ ^OO^ ^OO^ ^OO^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O.P. Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 My biggest thrills in Drum Corp.... 1. Back of the bus (04) after 1979 Nationals I was with :sshh: (i'll never tell) and had a great time exploring the mystries of the universe. I heard about that little visit in the back of the bus. Didn't we call you "lefty" after that? truth is, that back of the bus episode is the greatest thrill of your life. Period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prodigal bari Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 (edited) I know this is not in performance, but I CANNOT get this memory out of my head. 1980; Troopers between 1st and 2nd tour; Wayne Downey came out to rehearse the group and adjust some of the charts (he wrote most of the book that year). In the horn arc during a afternoon rehearsal Wayne rewrote the last 45 seconds of Corea's Central Park...without a piano, and without a sketch pad!!! He just went through each section and verbally dictated the new ending to each part (we were writing feverishly, as well as the horn instructor)....almost like Mozart in the movie!! And it did not need a SINGLE adjustment when we played it through! We felt the absolute greatness in this man. It was enough to give you chills. Even in 100-degree heat....
