--Was Phillip on the field in '77???

No he wasnt....

--Who had better "Rocky" music??? BD or 27th?

Although I may be biased, the Lancers Rocky was awesome. Some of the best drum parts Mike Kumer wrote. If you have an audio of it, check out the thirty-second note singles the bass line ripped out. One of my fondess memories in drum corp is having SCV bass line complimenting us (27th's bass line) at nationals. b**bs

  2) Phantom Regiment

      --Who's mug was on the yellow flags debuted in '77?

      --Who's Whitey??

      --Who had better "Pagliacci" music???  PR, Bridgemen or Kilts?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Beethoven is CORRECT

Better Pagliacci? Depends on how you rate better. Ours was more complex and better played, Bridgemens was an awesome arrangement, simplistic in it's design.

Now, for those who have not figured out who Whitey is - He was the father of the rifle that dropped in '78 and an occassional bus/truck driver.

OK Z?

Rocketman - too much info

ampssuck

[Scerpella]

Yep.  In the future, could you please refer to him as Bill "White Shoes" Howard?? :P
