Man, I wish they would use that bass drum logo as a lettehead or Web header. That's fantastic.

Speaking of fantastic,

If you enlarge the upper picture, you'll see that the Madison CG members weren't carrying rifles. Instead, they carried...spears, pikes...what WERE they carrying? Also, can you give me the low down on why? Nobody else carried these in 1966, so I was always fascinated by them.

As a snot-nosed, 15 year old in 1966, I loved this corps. Great horn sound.

Thanks for posting these, Brian!

P.S. - Can anybody pick out Bill Schrak in this picture?

Scout units, in that era, were not allowed by the BSA to carry real or simulated weapons.

However, in 1967 Madison DID carry guard sabres. While staying at Tulane University in Nawlins for VFW Nats, the Kilties borrowed them to use as beer can openers.

Madison Scouts 1968

Actually, that looks like the St. Paul Scouts. Madison Scouts wore West Point unis.
