Railmen Trulove Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Well, was told by an old Railmen alum Brad Johnson there was a Railmen Thread running. Couldn't pass that up. Any Railmen vet's get up and post. Pictures would rock the hiizzouse! I'm of course completely in suport of a Omaha based corps. The financial hurdles would be the most difficult to get past, but there is abundant talent in the Omaha Kansas City Area. Scattered Memories: Making the Union Pacific Shield complete with blue and red banners and a Banner with the UP Slogan "We Can Handle it" Of course there was the show when it was opened upsidedown. Checking out Mrs. Hinkledye's(sp) forarm to tell what flavor of Kool-Aid we were going to have. Having Al Paulson throw my clothes up in a tree at Camp Okoboji in '84 Marching with Chad Sexton (from 311) and having his band get signed Having Pete Tolhizen (sp) and Frank Troyka bring me up in front of the corps so they could throw a cream pie in my face for sleeping in late and missing "Frankersize" in 85 (at Camp Okoboji again) Train trips!! The end of the brass chord in Blue Skies in 89 with 28 horns rock the house in tune! 1990 Finals Hanging out with Chet and Alan (from Illinos) in 91 in Fontenelle Forrest, drinking some brews after their first day of rehearsal. Of cours the cops come and I'm scared to death I'll have to call the Director to bail us out of Jail. Everything turned out ok. Maybe will finish that one later... Dave Turman and the frontline with the perfect ending to the 91 Show! Si-ga-da-bo-ga-da Hu-ga-da-bo-ga-da.... up the butt. I've got 50 pounds of meat sitting in the parking lot Hearing the announcer say everything in French in Montreal In '93 and having a real Train run right behind the stadium blowing it's whistle in the middle of our show. Hey.... we were the Railmen.... Senior corps..... what a blast. And we literally finished learing the drill RIGHT before we went on the field at DCM. Singing When I first Saw You at 1990 Finals 1995. I know it was rough for everyone, but I had a blast.

Leland Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Well, was told by an old Railmen alum Brad Johnson there was a Railmen Thread running. Couldn't pass that up. It's about time you showed up! I saw Greg Wiese at DCA this weekend, and he was asking about where you went; I gave him the three phone numbers I had for you. He's planning to put together an Erie Thunderbirds alumni corps for next summer. Three rehearsals or so, and an appearance at DCA. Sound good?

tommytimp Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 The 1987 DCI video has some footage of the Railmen, talking about corporate sponsorship being the next big thing in corps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumby5647 Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 . I think the biggest hurdle would be getting the communities to rally behind something OTHER than Husker football......... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That wouldn't be much of a problem right now.....Callahan's such a crack head with his "West Boast Offensive" :sshh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Hartmann Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Good lord, somebody remembers the Railmen! Hey everyone. Bill Trulove! Good to see that you are still out and about. How is life treating you? well, since we are sharing favorite memories: 93...93 was tough for me...####, I was uber-rookie. I sucked. 94...getting chewed out by some Governaire's members at DCM when we beat them. Reading in DCWorld about us this exact quote: "...this corps came prepared, and it showed!" after we learned the closer drill the night before. Meeting some guys while marching at Bluecoats in 96 who had seen us at DCM and were the kids in the front row going nuts at Bill and Dave's solos in "What is Hip?" 95...Bar none, the toughest summer of my life, but I learned more, excelled more, and made better friendships that summer than the other 3 years I marched. Brass warmups in all of the fun places we had them...on the footbridge in Kansas City, on the dock in Grand Haven, Michigan, etc. Of course, the Monty Python Brass Ensemble, getting a 9.1 in performance brass with 9 horns. Favorite quote from a judge at DCI Prelims..."Oh...#### mellophones." Well, glad to see some Railnerds out and about. Look for me at the Railmen Yahoo group Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
