lindap Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 While we're doing flaglines . . . . . . . . Thanks for the photo of Americanos guard, one of very few I've seen in color. I spent many years in a gym like this, didn't take photos, didn't want the camera flash interrupt their spin. There was no floor tarp, just the sound of equipment in hand and feet on the hardwood floor. Summer was a completely different experience, marching on many levels of grass. Did you know I marched on astroturf first time ever late summer 72? I tripped, oh my Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindap Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Never saw frenchies like this before, being a former french horn player I had to post it. From the Commodores site. I'm intrigued too. Frenchies were a beautiful sound when combined with mellophones and fluglehorns while outdoors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommytimp Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I think that is our very own Tommy Boy! Yeah, that's me. Not a great pic, if I do say so myself. I'm looking down, hands are bad, the whistle is hanging funny... That pic was on the cover of DCI Today in the Spring/Summer, too. Which I didn't see until second season, cause I didn't march 1st season in 87. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarimbasaurusRex Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Geneseo Knights from the 1987 "Soaring Sounds VIII" in Centerville, OH show program. Caption... OK, so who's the wise guy who put the goldfish in my drum?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puppet Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Never saw frenchies like this before, being a former french horn player I had to post it. From the Commodores site. They were from Olds, I think ... Her's a pic of one from the Des Plaines Vanguard BITD. Funny, I don't think that many corps used Mellos, French & Flugelhorns - just not enough bodies. We did do Flugels and Mellos then went to all Mellos a year later. But that was back pre DCI when great hornlines only had about 30 or so players.

HornsUp Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 (edited) The Commodores pic above is of the round model Whaley-Royce French Horns. The DPV shot is a later-model Smith mellophone. The GR photo is a classic !!! Edited July 31, 2011 by HornsUp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
