77kingsmensnare Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Great thread!You may be an old pharte if you can remember snare drums that sounded great and could actually be HEARD! Oh, and serious rudiments, a tick system, and judges who had an ear for an error! You remember M&M, GE, parades before shows, ten pound rifles, no music majors in the corps, color pre, off the line, concerts, closers, inspections, NOT being on PBS or having a video of your shows, local participation and local support, and when the Midwest ruled! But most of all, you're probably an old pharte if you're in this thread and don't really understand or recognize today's drum corps scene (and dare I add not even attend shows anymore?) - and concur on the "each corps had its own individual personality/identity" as well! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ok when men were men and snare drummers got their snardleys caught in the leg rest!

Rocketman Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 The guard wore holsters. Everbody wore (the same) head gear. You didn't need to stretch before marching rehearsal. The guard was the most feared part of the corps. (LancerFi knows) Rocketman - That 70's guy ampssuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
