kiltiekemo Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 How about Ohio Brass Factory? Except this time we could play a real drum corps show. Great talent, experience but needed a little help in show design. No slam on anyone but compared the East back then we could have used some "old time religion" with our shows.

It was a great rivalry as well as I had some very cool friends (what ever happened to Rudy?) that made the experience all worthwile. Also the 9 to 5 was catchy! The only thing I ever questioned was the Electric Lime Green Blue Devil uniforms I also miss from way back then the Troy Defenders and Les Insolite (I am sure that is not spelled even close).

JerseyDigger29 Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Jim spends a LOT of his time on the golf course. His famous chops are gone forever since he came down with bells paulsy (sp?) which has left him with no control over his left facial muscles. It hasn't affected his golf game though, and outside of that he's doing great! Ole Stapes could sure wail!!!!!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Good to hear about him. If you happen to see him, tell him Thom Fontannaz, the guy from the Great lakes Navy Band who played lead in the "Boys" with him in the early 70's says hi, and wishes him all the best. - Thom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleHighEZ Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Don't forget Ritchee's other two DCA corps... Buccaneers and Sunrisers.Fran <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I finally got to meet Ritchee this year(something I waited 30 years to do!). One of my favorite soloists of all time! And one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storkysr Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 (edited) Interstatesmen from Pittsfield, MA <{POST_SNAPBACK}> YES! Innovators of their era! Snare grip tenors, mellophones, etc. BTW they were also from (ostensibly) Albany also. Edited September 17, 2005 by Storkysr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
