27mello Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Competed in all 3 in both "B" and "A" class. Greatest memory is 1969 (I think) competing in class "B" as a member of the I.C. Reveries at World Open. We were a small corps, even for "B", and we finished third behind the Oshkosh Warriors and someone else. There were no prelims that year. We sat through about a hundred corps and the scores were announced after everybody had performed. We beat a lot of local rivals, and I remember a corps called the Castlemen that had a male rifle who was tossing that sucker higher than the top of the stadium. I think they finished 5th. Anyone have scores from that?? Also, in 1973 we competed (badly) in the U.S. Open. We went on after Blue Devils. OMG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dckid80 Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Wonder if that rifle was Greg Horne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LancerLegend Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 Wonder if that rifle was Greg Horne. Well.....the truth was that Greg did not become a rifle until after he marched as a bari with 27th in 1976. Although he could spin very well then, 27th was still an all "female" guard and not about to change. Greg Horne went to North Star for the 77 season.

27mello Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 Correct! Greg was a baritone player with 27, and we never had a male guard member until '94 reunion corps when males were allowed in the rifle line. There were no males in the '94 alumni flag line.

27mello Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Although I should clarify that we did have males in 1994 alumni honor guard. And, may I add, I have never seen a prouder honor guard than that one. Those folks took it with the seriousness it deserved, and they did a great job.
