some old corps photos


Recommended Posts

And to answer the Goodfellow shots...

Here are a few from the Keeser AFB Blue Knights Student Corps, late 84-early 85 (me in the closeup shots..back when I had hair! *sigh* I was a lot skinnier then, too!)

A random base parade.

Playing the theme from "Superman, the Movie" for the Special Olympics that were held on base....the music's being held in front of us because I'd only finished arranging the chart a week before and while we had time to learn it, did not have time to memorize. At least hoilding the music gave the Boots something to do!

Leaving the field after the SO gig...note the BD influence....I still tape my gloves to this day. Back then, the other students thought I was nuts, ubut I can't STAND the feel of the gloves coming loose on my hands....very distracting.

Warming up for the looooooooooooong Mardi Gras parade in New Orleans...look! An Olds Ultratone II sop!

THis is a corps that competed in the 1974 Spectacle of Music in South Milwaukee. Could be the Gay Blades or Joliet Kingsmen. Im not really certain.

West Bend Patriots, Dan? I don't think the Joliet Kingsmen were around yet in '74.... (the Paul Hall Warriors are another possibility, though I think their corps colors were primarily green and black).

I love seeing photos of this era. The corps look so great on the field without all of the clutter of today. This is one of my favorite BD shows.

Madison 83. Starting line. Colas Bruegnon.

My brother is in the Euphonium line in the back of the circle. Great guard that year and fun show.
