tommytimp Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 84....BD (duh)If you happen to have any pics of the Whitewater Wipeout....I don't think I've ever seen any. Sorry...as you may remember (or may not), The Knights weren't at Whitewater in 84. Which is one of the more boneheaded things our corps' management ever did. 84 sucked.

Begs the question, tho....WHY on earth would corps management skip what was - at the time - the biggest corps show aside from Nats itself??? It isn't like Whitewater was THAT far from your home base.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't like Whitewater was THAT far from your home base.... Never got a good answer to that question. if it was because of what happened in 82 and the fact that Whitewater prelims in 83 may have been our best show, while the "slide" started with the night show, I don't know. But it still sucked. We spent the day in Bedford, Indiana, and when the director asked rhetorically and ironically, "I'd SO MUCH rather be in Whitewater, wouldn't you?" all I could think of was "Hell YES."

lindap Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Inside the ‘Salute to 50’ publication, ‘at the 1963 Scout House show’ The 2 stylistic corps had a long standing camaraderie. Scout House is now an alumni corps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scout House is now an alumni corps. Woo-hoo! Great Cadet Uniform! Like old school Garfield. What corps is that? And here's a little tidbit - that famous Canadian all-male corps not only played Bb bugles from way back in 1938 'til they folded in the late sixties, they all wore hot pants! And this practice started in 1953! I'll bet they had groupies all over The Territories! Puppet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The story I always heard was that given the problems the Knights had in Whitewater, the corps management decided they were not going back. I contend to this day that a reasonable explanation has not been provided. Those two years in Whitewater were the beginning of the end.
