some old corps photos


Recommended Posts

That's right Dave, I don't ever remember seeing a column on the sheets for stick angles...LOL. And you're right it's almost impossible to photograph a snare line that has perfect stick angles when frozen in time. Luckily our human brains tend to average out the details so when things are moving they appear "perfect".

I agree 100% on this one. There are two slightly different stick angles, five high and three low. The problem is that there are three drummers cut off in this picture. We would need to see their angles in order to determine who was ticking. Personally, I think snares 1,5 & 6 are correct though :sarcasm: .

If only snare lines could match these angles. That would be cool.

Wow, what an amazing photo! It is interesting to consider that this is obviously the winter guard so they were that clean even in the winter. I like the mouths agape in concentration.

The only thing that's slightly off, and it's unusual for this guard, are the arm angles.

Now, before anyone gets on my case for being too ticky-tacky, I'm pretty sure we've discussed this photo before, and someone pointed out that the two who are out of position were actually new to the guard.

But yes, those rifle angles . . . awesome! :sarcasm:

Here are a few shots (1982) of a corps whose official name was The Memphis Blues Brass Band* (A Drum & Bugle Corps). Some great members came out of this corps and went on to Garfield, 2-7, Madison etc. (Sorry theses are not great shots)

Hey Tom, talk about dirty feet, take a look at the center snare's feet. :worthy:
