some old corps photos


Recommended Posts

Too bad the editor couldn't spell the name right...

Agree and noted. I was struggling with this when scanning the pictures but decided to show that these were program pictures, caption and all and the photos are most likely 1971. I had and have respect for these corps of the day because I was honoured to have competed at this show, given that we did not travel to the United States alot. How shall I spell honour? Simply the way I was taught. Nothing more and good eye. Thanks.

Almost all correct Greg. John Flores is second from the left in the Commodore pic next to Scott Johnson. John also marched in the Freelancers in '75 and '77 with Earl. He marched Etobicoke '76. Earl marched Freelancers in '75 and '77 and instructed the Commodores drumline in '76.

As a matter of fact Earl is the one that forwarded these Commodore pics to me.

Here's a pic of the '77 Freelancers with Earl (5th from the right) and Johnny (left end). Could somebody please make this picture look better for me?

Here's another of the 77 Freelancers snareline (I hope they don't mind me sharing one).

Second photo of Heckington Show, England, 1977, Alberta All Girls. This one is from centre line and left.

First photo is a few pages back and is from the centre and right. Centre was the bells and tymps (our little pit).

The field lines are for horse racing if my memory serves me.

That's Pam conducting in the orange, good friend from California. Hi Pam, miss you.

Is Johnny the snare on the far left? If it is, I believe I met him at the reunion. Good guy!
