Lancerlady Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 My husband and I got the 1977 DVD because the Bridgemen, would've been 4th had they not been disqualified. Also because that was the year he fell in love with 27th Lancers with the "Rocky" show. I have to admit I love it too, but It was the first time I saw either show! Man, that whole show of Bridgemen rocks. But I love their version of "Land of Make Believe". So I guess this was more the version that "Blast" adopted uh? I wouldn't want to be a judge in either of those shows! 27 or Bridgemen. I was wondering if any alumni can tell me, was that the last year they used the rotary silver horns? I know that Bridgemen did appeal the ruling, but what was the final finding by DCI? Sorry if this has been discussed, but its my first time witnessing such greatness! I loved their color guard!

Welcome back my friends to the show tht never ends, indeed!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocketman Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 "Z" As an opened, thier version was awesome, not overly difficult, but very effective. No complaints from Rocketman Rocketman - giving credit where credit is due. ampssuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Thunder Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 One thing that made the 1977 Bridgemen so special was their soprano soloist, Jim Brady, who was only 17 years-old at the time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not doubt he was 17, but he sure looked and played older! I wonder what Mr. Brady is doing today? Now how about those '77 Madison Scouts!

Now how about those '77 Madison Scouts! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Jim Brady is having a very successful career music/playing wise. He has played with many of the greats, and also has CDs out. I have to look for the letter I have regarding him, I was involved with a letterwriting campain to DCI/HOF (Dr. Dave) regarding him and I'm sure an alumnus of the Bridgemen could elaborate much better than I and give you specifics.... Some people believe that members should also be including in the HOF. Or maybe we should have one for members who go on to either teach, or have successful careers, or bus drivers, or quartermasters, well you get the idea....
