BC 1967

This ones for you St. MARY,

Check out the Curvilinear aluminum arms, that extend to the front of the drums, pretty amazing for 1967

Bos 77,

Great Photo,

Thanks

BTW, Steve aka dmr27

“Here's a guess:

July 4th, 1967

Washington St.

South Norwood, MA

At about 5:00 pm”

“If I'm right... I badly need a life.”

BINGO WE HAVE A WINNER

Join the club Steve, I thought the same, when looking

at the photo, Dorchester, Hyde Park, or Norwood.

Any thoughts on the actual temperature that day?

and the size of the moon later that night?

We all may need some “Drum Corps Psychotherapy”

however, I'm sure, it's probably much to late.

Drum Corps HAD to be innovative back in the day...that's what distinguished us from cookie-cutter marching bands:

("...and now the Prancing Flamingo HS Band will form a steamboat and stand perfectly still and play 'Miss The Mississippi and You (Cha-Cha)'...be sure to look for the fire-extinguisher smoke from the stack and the Pep Squad forming water under the boat...").

....no offense to marching bands, of course.

As an eight year contra player, I DON'T SEE THE HUMOR HERE SAM!!!!!  :P j/k

Ya ever wonder why there are so many marching instructors who used to be contra players?

It's cause they were such fr*ggin experts when they were marching as appendages to the drum line back in the day. Only 4 or 6 of you with no drill to memorize, except follow the drum line, all the while pointing out the set errors the hornline had at practice. You couldn't help but be right because THE DRUM LINE WAS RIGHT, and you all thought you were genious marchers because of it.

:P

Regards,

John
