BklynMario Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 b**bs Mario: That was great but you made one serious omission. St. Lucy's Cadets! b**bs RAY....my sincere apologies! I worote the essay several years ago, and you are the irst to pick up on this.....how could I forget our Eye-talian bretheren from Newark? In fact, one of our drum majors, Hank, went from Loretto to St. Lucy's. I promise to change the original text immediately....Madonna mia!

chucky baby Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 :) Thanks, Fred. Absolutely great thread. We can start a whole 'nother one just on the Dream or Roosevelt Stadium. And that picture of St Lucy's? Truly historical. I almost marched with that corp, but couldn't get a ride from anyone. (I was eleven or twelve at the time and played soprano). But as kids we would do whatever it took to get to the Dream. A junior and senior show for one admission. Rain or shine.I think it was '79 when the field was all mud. The Bridgemen came out with no pants on. The Skyliners left off their cadet jackets, John Grass walked on the field with the drum line and played the 'New York, New York' tag. Then a soprano played it back from each section of the stands. The rest of the corps was scattered through the stands and jumped up, shouted and ran down to the field as each one played the tag back. The crowd went crazy. And that's just one Roosevelt Stadium memory. :) what we did was play the traffic jam it was great. ricky lane sky 1974-2004 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gsksun4 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 One of the closest finishes in the history of the Dream at Roosevelt Stadium had to be the senior portion of the 1968 contest. Out of the five senior corps, the top four were only four tenths of a point apart. This was a weird one to say the least. To start with, the Skyliners finished last. Now, whether or not they had a bad show that day, when have you ever seen the Skyliners take last place at a Dream? The Hurc's win, with a very strong Reading coming second. That shook a few nuns in the stands. Cabs take third, and the Sunrisers fourth. Now the outcome looks to be, well, unusual, but remember, only four tenths separate the top four corps. All I remember standing one that field that afternoon at retreat, is how the Hurricanes when announced the winner, just looked around and chuckled as if to say, what the hell just happened. After the shock wore off, and the beer kicked in, it was quite funny to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
