byline Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 These are from 78 prelims in Boulder. Wow, I love this show! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaNors77 Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 (edited) This is the Kingsmen in 78 I think. Yep I think that IS us in 78. The mello with the soprano hanging from his belt I think is Tim Martin or Brad White. Dunno when we swtiched from white gloves to black tho. Those were also brand new slingerland drums that they painted AK blue on the insides. :) Edited July 28, 2007 by PaNors77 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaNors77 Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 (edited) I think this is Kingsmen 78.... could the guy with the huge keyboard tell me? How about the soprano to his left? That's me and yes it was 78. :) Looking at it no wonder I had back pain? heh. Edited July 28, 2007 by PaNors77 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byline Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Played around with this photo a bit and zoomed in on these two Oakie flag gals; I'm about 99 percent certain that I'm the one on the right. The gal on the left might be Joanne Spillman; she was one of the three of us who came up from Indiana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dccorpsfan Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Question for guys who marched keyboards: I know the vibes and the marimba were heavy; but how were the xylophones and glockenspiel? Were they easy to march with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommytimp Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Question for guys who marched keyboards:I know the vibes and the marimba were heavy; but how were the xylophones and glockenspiel? Were they easy to march with? I marched a Ludwig Kelon xylophone with a fiberglass vest in high school band; I remember it being pretty heavy. It altered my stride I know, everything was from the pelvis to keep pressure off the small of the back.There's a lot of parts in there, wood, metal, plastic. It adds up. Not like hauling timpani around, but still a chore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle z Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Question for guys who marched keyboards:I know the vibes and the marimba were heavy; but how were the xylophones and glockenspiel? Were they easy to march with? Ahh, they weren't that bad. During rehearsal, I'd get to take the resonators off, which lightened the load considerably. I'd take 'em over a contra or euphonium any day. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarimbasaurusRex Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Question for guys who marched keyboards:I know the vibes and the marimba were heavy; but how were the xylophones and glockenspiel? Were they easy to march with? Vibes were a bear, as gangly as they were heavy. Marimba and xylo were no biggie once you were used to it. Glock was quite a bit lighter than a snare drum, especially the aluminum Mussers. Between drum corps and high school-college marching bands, I've marched snare, multi-tenors, bass drums, roto-toms, timbales/bongos, tymps, xylo, marimba, and vibes. Marimba and xylo felt similar to tenors or a mid sized bass drum. I still carry a marimba today for some occasions. Vibes and the bigger tymps were in a league of their own along with the biggest bass drums. Bass drums are just as bad as any because they are worn high on the body and the center of gravity is well out in front. And Mike Braga, What's the deal not carrying any chimes along with that 3 octave concert vibe? Slacker! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
