some old corps photos


Recommended Posts

Is this before or after the magic box malfunctions?

Must be after because in Rockford it happend right behind me and I don't really see any tenors in this shot.

Sadly, I don't have a date for when this photo was taken. It's the only photo I've ever seen of the magic act.

Could you describe this in more detail? How did they come over the wall? (It looks like plywood or some such thing, and so seems like it wouldn't hold a lot of weight.) Anyway, that's interesting to me, because it predates a lot of the stuff that is commonplace now, both in corps/band and winter guard.

Welll If memory serves, they made a human ladder behind the wall and they climbed to the top and jumped over. Which reminds me of the Springfield Rifles. Anyone remember them?

Thanks for the explanation. That's pretty darned cool!

Sue, remember when Conquest was penalized in WGI for their moving walls? This wall reminds me of that prop.

John, for some reason I'm not seeing your photos (well, except for the one of the Canadian $2 bill).
