I think it's somewhere in LA. The Knights took the Western tour in 81 (which will forever be known as 'The Tour From ####') along with Phantom Regiment. That's a shot of them literally playing in the Pacific ocean. I wouldn't try that with today's pit instruments. You'd be wiping sand off the instruments all year.

Last one until the weekend.

Little Davey Ramthun, all of 15 years old, rookie year in the 1975 World Champion Madison Scouts.

You maybe right. In looking at the snare drum in the left middle ground, it appears to be the multi-colored vestalite drums that we used in the first part of the '76 season. We in fact were in Disneyland in early July 1976. We were not there in '75.

Not to mention the little problem of electrocution. :unsure:
