First and last show

[KeithHall]

Although I participated in the 1970 Penn-York Championships where I believe we came in 4th, the next year at Endicott, NY was the most memorable. I believe Squires won that show with White Knights, Mello Dears, Mark Twain, Lakeview Shoreliners, etc were there.

My last show, that was memorable was in 1976 two shows at the NT Open (we won "A" Class and took 9th in Open) the next day we were in Philly for DCI. I remember how tired we were and down because our director resigned the day we left. Instead of being in the top ten I think we took 16th, in A class.

1st 1980 home show, "Romeo and Juliet" as a B class corps. We also played Appalachian springs, 2 years before SCV did. Mind you, THEY did it better! :P

Honestly can't rememer my first show, but I would guess it was the G.L.D.C.A. show in St. Clair Shores Michigan in 69...that was traditionally the first show of the season in the circuit back in the day.

Last show? 1981 DCI prelims at McGill University in Montreal....remember it like it was yesterday!!

We were on first in finals. Fellow age-out Mike Bockmann and I decided to drink beer on the concourse and watch the rest of finals on a monitor until gran finale. As soon as we trooped the stands I threw my vibes on the truck and went and peed on a tire of Sky Ryders equipment truck (it was the first thing out of the line-of-sight) :P
