King K-90 Contra


LowBrassman

Recommended Posts

The Emerald Knights had 4 K-90s when I joined in 1983. I'm not sure if they had them in '82 or not - I don't think so. Those horns followed me to the Knights in '85, then returned to EK in 86, so the Knights had to go back to their Ultratone P/Rs. Not sure where they are now, but I believe the Knights of 1991 (combined EK & Knights) had them. Awesome horns.

I marched with the K-90 in '89. Body almost went into shock.

I'm marching the Houston Thanksgiving Day parade with a K-90 tomorrow. Watch on TV!

Go to GCS's site. We got pictures of us using the K-90s last season.

Let's see if I can get these to send. Will try individually. Pics are from '84 VK and '86 SCV

Note #5 (that's me!) and no hat on until stepoff. Also note the red velcro, which held our sharkfins and the bulky jackets, where we had our fins tucked in.

Note the perfect armswing young CBs/ Tubas! Smitty reminded me of that pic all year "oh yeah, look at Dale with the perfect armswing--urgh!"

My ageout picture at Camp Randall in Madison.

Right to left, a very young Jim Barany, myself, Marc Goffstein and my little buddy Alejandro Valcazar. Jim was DM of Renegades last year.

Playing our concert of "Great Gate of Kiev" to the 86 champion Blue Devils. Note the one ageout with no shoes on (sorry Rick South, IT'S A KILT THING!!!). I wish I had a picture of the shoes, with that MacLeod Kilt garter and poem, "An Epitaph to an Old Shoe" laying there. I also wish I had a picture of Rick South going off on me and me saying "sorry, guess you can kick me out now".

I remember the BD boys jumping up and down and spiking their shakos. To quote another famous SCV CB from Ohio, my good friend and Phi Mu Alpha brother Dave Beck "Dale, you just won DCI there--they would have never done that for us".
