byline Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Oakland Crusaders from the 1979 US Open ProgramI have posted this before but this is a better scan. Thanks so much for posting this! I believe this is yet another one of those cases where the photo was in the '79 program, but it's from the '78 season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrunchyTenor Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 I spent a few months agonizing over that decision, going to rehearsals of both all fall of 1969. I actually helped Bobby Thompson build Blessed Sac's double tenors (see one of the pics above) from old single drums. He had me slated to play them if I joined. I had more friends who were marching with Garfield, for one thing. The GSC corps I marched with had quite a few move to Garfield after the 68 season, including some of my best friends growing up. There was also a 'culture shock', since I was from the distinctly upper-middle class suburbs of Livingston NJ and BS was in the heart of urban Newark...for a 16-year-old very sheltered kid that was quite a shock....this was just when the riots were starting, don't forget. I also got a good feeling meeting up with George Tuthill, Garfield's drum guy, a graduate of the Manhattan School of Music. They just seemed a better fit. My parents also preferred that I join Garfield over BS. My dad worked in the Essex County court house in Newark, a block from where some of the worst rioting was occurring. 69 BS is still one of all-time favorite shows, though. I have it pretty much memorized to this day! Thanks, Mike. I knew I'd read most of this in different posts over the years. This is the complete story.
