Isn't it time for a Gus Barbaro thread?


Recommended Posts

This was in the "Cavaliers 1981" thread, but if you follow the link below to the De La Salle historic site, there's a recording of Gus doing DCI prelims in 1974. There's two tapes. He definitely had a unique communications style:

I particularly like the reference to "grammatical correctities".

Not really a "GUS" moment but, I think it was in 79 when instructing the Cavalier drum line someone got ahold of a pair of his pants and promtly (and rather easily I might add) fit two people in them. They walked around with these on for about 5 minutes with everyone in the corps in stitches. :music:

I am paraphrasing, and probably very badly at that, but I believe the quote went:

"You are like a beautiful, stretch Mercedes in a lot of used clunker"

Refering to the 1975 SCV.

Gus attended DCA championships and stated it was his first show in many years.  He looks great and as always was his usual self.

Well, did you say "hi" for me?? b**bs
