Hi Mark,

Nice to see that you are still involved in the activity. Did you play mellophone with Auburn? In case you missed it I wrote a reminiscence of the 1974 Purple Lancers for Fanfare on DCI.org http://www.dci.org/news/news.cfm?news_id=9...9d-6a70d69dbf5a

When I was a kid (late 60's early 70's) my family

traveled to upsate New York from Boston to visit relatives

in Oswego every summer. My NY relatives liked to go

to Drum Corps shows. My first exposure

to Drum corps was back then, and the only corps

I remember is the Gauchos, so I picked them.

Yaaay Gauchos.
