93Bluecoat Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 Although '93 was the best contra line I was ever in, 1990 was the best performing group I was marched. Director: Ted Swaldo Program Coord: Larry Hershman Visual: Tim Ochran & Sly Sybilski Brass: Bill Hamilton, Dave Roher, Marty Hollister (one of the Bluecoats most underrated instructors ever) Percussion: Rob Muller was caption head, but there were other guys like Glenn "Turtle" Carter and Bruce McConnell that really made things musical Guard: Ed Castelli, does anyone not love this guy?

Lancerlady Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 (edited) For the Memphis Blues, I will try to remember as best I can: Horn techs-Cecil-( can't remember his last name, I think it was Austin) Randy Isoda Arranger for brass the wonderful Ken Normanwho gave F Horns and mellos great parts... Drill techs-Jim Paradise I just can't remember every body... For the 27th Lancers 1986 Michael Cesario redesigned the uniforms. Zingali-drill writer, instructor, consultant Marc Sylvester did some teching too in between they went back and forth with Star I think that year... Color Guard I think Denise B. and Darlene helped out with Patty Poole, I can't remember if their management position went in with teaching..(Getting old sucks) :) Drums-Charlie Poole Arrangement by Frank Dorrite-I just loved this man he was so good to us. Tom Lizotte horn line, he is one of my all time favorite instructors and people in drum corps besides Kevin..because they helped me to achieve being the best I could be in playing and marching. As well as George Zingali... drill techs Kevin Kernan and John Bodie helped out ( I might be getting John confused with 85) I was very blessed in 1986... :) Edited June 5, 2005 by Lancerlady Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fran Haring Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 (edited) Since I didn't read this thread when it first came out...LOL... and since I can't speak for my junior corps days... our "staff" for our local-circuit corps consisted basically of one person doing brass and marching and another guy on percussion...LOL... if I may speak to my time with DCA's Sunrisers, 1977-82, the period when the corps won its first three DCA titles: As a horn player, my favorite "brass staff" years were: 1978.... Pete Franceschina (caption head), Tom McCarthy (teacher), John Arietano (brass arranger and teacher). High Brass at DCA Finals that year, and a perfect 10 in Brass GE... the first in DCA history. A great staff.  1982: Dennis Dewey (caption head), Bob Pearson (teacher), John Arietano (arranger and teacher). We didn't take the brass trophy that year... but, thanks to our staff, our horn line was a consistent contender after a rough offseason (we had something like 20-21 horns at drill rehearsals less than two months before our first show... yikes)... and as a corps, we won our third DCA title. So... a great "comeback summer" for us.   Edited September 13, 2018 by Fran Haring 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
