Ron? Is that the front gate to the old San Gabriel Mission in that shot?

Don't know if you know (or care) but I was born and raised in Pasadena...

That appears to be the South gate of the SG Mission on Mission Blvd near New Avenue...I recall seeing that specific gate at that location

I reedited and put the post from Mr. Jim DeLooze who is the photographer who has a lot of great old photos ranging from 77 to 86 jr and sr on sale on ebay and got permission to post on this forum from him. He doesn't mind. He also says he marched and has his on jr. corps somewhere. :) Anyway, here's a cool one of 1983 Bridgemen...

Love the look, No yard lines, no pit, and trash

all over the field. Remember when coming on and off the

field although not judged, was in fact part of the show?

Now it’s a bit like a circus with some corps,

Less is still More , the Corps, the less cluttered field,

with music and motion, pretty simple? and still effective

GREAT PHOTOS PTR250

This is Boston 1969

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

BC 1969 The first year Boston did “Mancini 67” The Jazz Version of Conquest,

Off the Line. The snare independence was Outrageous. While right hand played the ride part, on the cymbal, the left hand played on the snare, the syncopated sixtieth note passage along with the sops. The first year of Mallets and Melodic drum solos, Pop goes the weasel and Unsquare dance, LOVE THAT Drum Line.

BAC and BS both had marvelous drum lines in 69. What the VFW made them do (remove the bells) at Nats was a crime. That was the first finals I ever saw, as an audience member.

This ones kind of funny, their horns are up, but the drum major is at parade rest, as is the Guard Captain.....I shouldn't say funny, but a little odd.  I'd want horns down so I could see myself!

You'll note that the drummers got it right.
