CrunchyTenor Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Manning Bowl in Lynn MA. Greatest drum corps stadium ever. And it's gone. Replaced by a failed minor league baseball team's astroturf field. :( Pssssst...the picture says US Open, not World Open. This would be in Marion, OH.

Northern Thunder Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 (edited) Pssssst...the picture says US Open, not World Open. This would be in Marion, OH. Garry in Vegas If you look closely at the photo, it has World Open 1972 written at the upper left part of it. The 1972 U.S. Open Champion label appears on the photo simply for corps publicity, since it was the biggest contest won by the Vagabonds that year.

baja Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 (edited) Flint Guardsmen from the Russ Jones Archives. Thanks for posting this great color photo of the Fint Guardsmen who used to kick our butt every show! Having a color shot of this corps from the 70's is great and also kind of bad. No offense but the #### brown and the uknowwhat yellow probably was cool in the day but you don't see much of that color palet anymore.

Northern Thunder Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 No offense but the #### brown and the uknowwhat yellow probably was cool in the day but you don't see much of that color palet anymore. And yet there were tons of corps that wore those colors in the early 1970s. (Maybe that's because there were tons of corps.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garry in Vegas Actually, I was looking at the stadium itself, especially those light towers. I'd recognize those anywhere. Believe it or not, I didn't notice the writing!

CrunchyTenor Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 (edited) Norman Dziedzic and Jeff Wroblewski ended up as co-DMs in Cavies...late 80s early 90s, I think. Their names must've given announcers MAJOR fits! Close, but no cigar. Norm was the DM 85-87, Jeff was Guard Captain 85-86. The announcers notes had their names spelled phonetically. Man....I miss Crosby's long flowing locks from the 80s! So does he! Garry in Vegas Edited June 24, 2011 by CrunchyTenor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommytimp Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Rondinaro made jokes about it both years, I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommytimp Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 No kidding....but compared to their 86 show, this was definitely a step or three up. Compared to their 86 show, the third act of "Noises Off" is a step up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byline Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 They were not on that night. Too bad, as that '87 Phantom show is one of my all-time favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byline Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 SCV from Carrie T. Love this photo! Another all-time favorite show of mine. Is this at the end of "Russian Christmas Music"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
