Myths of Drum Corps debunked!

Recommended Posts

I've heard the Bob Barker rumor evey year. I think that's something the whole world has been waiting for anyway.

I remember being on tour in 03' and reading a newspaper article about Strom Thurmonds death. I bought the paper to keep as a memento. Not sure why.

As stated many times before, "one more run" is drum corps biggest lie.

I'm not proud of this one, but it was quite funny.

Back in the day, before everyone on tour had a cellphone, it was very easy to spread false rumors. I told the sopranos that Maynard Ferguson had died. I had two guys who were kind of broken up about this. One guy, almost teary-eyed, told me as they were about to go on the field, "This one's for Maynard." It was all I could do from busting out laughing on the spot.

Ok, so that was pretty cruel. Drum corps remains a great place to spread rumors.

Yeah, the Mandarin thing doesn't make sense as Korean.  My memory is not serving me well, but I do remember being told by someone that they were with a church.  Of course I was also had bad info on splooie and suta.

I think I heard that one at a practice in 1981... no cellphone required.

Maybe they could get one of those mouth thingies Peter Frampton used to use and then the guitar can say.....YOWSA.
