JimF-LowBari Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 Reilly, Archie and Harvey Seeds Rebels (Miami, FL) - DQ'ed for "not declaring their non-veteran members". Taken from www.srcorps.com. VFW in the 50s had Open and Closed classes based on the percentage of Vets in the corps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimF-LowBari Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 Seeing how it was Achie and Reilly with their great rivalry guess anything would be possible. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Milano Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Hello, Bob Hoehn here. I was a 16-year old first baritone player for Harvey Seeds that year. Had marched with them a couple years before getting "caught" being underage and not a veteran. Sorry about that guys! After getting caught I went on to march with Jr corps, Miami Vanguard, Miami Crusaders and Chicago Cavaliers. The Contest in Atlantic City was a nightmare, an indoor venue, corps at each other throats. One incident included the Reilly Raiders and their arch rival Archer Epler Muskateers. Reilly's bass drummers dropped thumb tack on the contest floor because Eplers Drum major was dressed like the King from King & I (their program), and he went barefooted. Ouch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ffernbus3 Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Ahhh, the nostalgia of fist fights and the over-turning busses in the parking lot after a show...makes you yearn for the smell of diesel fumes, blood and vomit, doesn't it?
