audiodb Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I've been looking too but the earliest I've seen listed are a few from very late 1940s. The oldest full-show recordings available are from 1950, through Drum Corps World. Audio recording of drum corps essentially started in 1948. There's hardly even a rumor of anything before then. And most of the 1948 and 1949 material only exists on aging 78 RPM records, holding about three minutes of music per side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsBusDriver Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 For the sake of wanting to experience the sound of really, really, REALLY, old drum corps.......Does anyone have any audio recordings of corps in the pre-WWII era? Prior to any valve at all! Ya know...the straight G bugle? And real skin drumheads... Well, I don't have any audio recording, but as you can see below, My Grandpa was playing on a real skin drumhead when he was in the Joplin Missouri American Legion Corps '37 and my Mom was playing a valveless G bugle when she was in her Joplin High School Drum Corps '38.

MaxwellNotes Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 So, I bought my season pass today and had the idea to listen to the 1972 playlist. Wow, I was blown away with the hornline! To think they were doing that with a valve and a piston! I just can't believe the sound. I'm sorry if you think this was a useless topic, but I thought that it would be refreshing for you "old guys" to see someone who is young appreciating the early years.Any suggestions on other shows I should check out? 1971 was a great year for the activity too. Some of the shows that year really set the activity on their ear. Cavies and Madison did theme shows which was really radical. Troopers were great as were Kilties, 27, Blue Stars and many others.
