ok, keep it coming....and if this is the case....is it international? Our friends up north, do you throw babies, eh? or down south (if there are any Mexican corps) ¿usted lanza a bebés? (insert country and language joke here)

It's a known phrase in Canada.

Actually started when someone threw a baby....the rest is history. Disclaimer: No babies have been harmed in this activity. The art of having babies tossed is a professional sport, and should never be done without proper training and fully accredited certification.

All joking aside... did it REALLY start that way? I've heard the expression ever since I got into drum corps, and have used it often, and have often wondered how it started.

I've heard it many a time in Ontario.

I can vouch for hearing it (and likely using it) in and around PA (Steel City Ambassadors) MA (27th Lancers) and NJ (Caballeros).

I suspect it was passed around by the same guy who has been stalking the earth and informing impressionable teenage boys about the "wonders" of Spanish Fly :blink:

we used to use that expression as early as 1977 that i can remember.

typically..the babies would be thrown at the company front, or the last note of the show!

didn't see any thrown in '05
