History of SOG, Blousemen and Pootsmen?


Recommended Posts

Pale imitations of The Fresno Ferns.

At least with The Stealthmen if you didn't see them they were there, eh?

And The Amoebas were such a small Wisconsin corps you needed a good microscope to really follow their short career.

And speaking of The Fresno Ferns, our "wearables" CAN now be purchased by the masses: follow the link below.

Blousemen took off in the early 80's, I know that...the first show I remember from them was the blimps show with "those Magnificent men in their flying machines" and "Up, up and away". They were an offshoot from Wind Gap I think.

SOG was begun around 82 with the "rock wearing a cape on the podium" and their signature c-g lip slurs opener.

Pootsmen are a recent entry as Poots wasnt even around until Henry Staub started calling everyone poots because he was mad at Dave Martin. Kurt enherited that name.

Thats all I know.

Donny,

That's Henry Staab if ur talking 'bout the one I know!!! He'll get a kick out of ur post too!!! BTW, did Hank ever tell you about the Boise Spuds?? They are the only Drum Corps to EVER post a perfect 100 in a show... Actually, I had HEARD that you consulted for them... or was that the guy from the mid-west??? The "Spuds" did use part of Cru's book one year! Anyway, Yours In Drum Corps!
