Legolaus Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 1982 Bayonne Great memories. Man this was a great drum corps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legolaus Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 (edited) Remember this view? What an awesome place for prelims. 27th prelims 1982. University of McGill Stadium. What a great backdrop with the city skyline in the background. One of my favorite places for a drum corps show (along with Whitewater, Marion, OH, and others).

I use to love Boulder for a prelim stadium as well but you can't beat that view and the city of Montreal. I remember one night in 1981 there must have been 10 drum corps at the Munich Beer Gardens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember one night in 1981 there must have been 10 drum corps at the Munich Beer Gardens Yeah I remember of photo of a Bridgemen soprano player from Boulder with the buildings in the background. Very cool. It is tough to beat this view of the Montreal downtown. You had a wonderful vantage point for your photos as well. Nice view of the drill formations. I can't think of a better corps to capture this than 27 as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeOtherJoe Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 I have some more of SCV that year, I'm sure there are more snare line shots. I'll look tonight.Dale DP... please don't go to the trouble on my accord. I've snatched plenty from this thread to quench my narcissistic thirst. Amazing thread!!!

SomeOtherJoe Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Notice the member kneeling and steadying the larger two stands which appear to be converted music stands maybe a bit top heavy. Think I recall reading somewhere that a few roto stands actually fell in prelims, hence johnny on the spot holding 'em up. We actually beat 'em in drums in prelims that year. In hindsight, kind'a wished it was the other way around... we played a somewhat tentative show at Finals, and those guys belted one out'a the park! As a competitor, I hated that ###### solo. It was such a fantastic package that all they had to do was nail it and it would be near impossible for a judge not to put 'em up top. Great solo and a helluva line (and some pretty cool guys as well). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bstar82 Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 I thought the only year Troops used the split shells and matched grip was 1983. I'm going to have to look into that. I took this pic. Trust me it is 1981 at DATR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle z Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 (edited) It's amazing what people know on this thread, thanks! Here's one titled Cavaliers at Cherry Creek That's Bret Kuhn on the far left. And I do believe that's MY head directly below the "L" in WOOLWORTH'S.
