Coaster Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Ummm... not trying to be difficult, but...I think I have a plaque saying that Madison won percussion ensemble at I&E in 1988... Honest mistake, but that moment was priceless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Boo Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Hey, it must be a convergence of "Tidbits," as today's Fanfare column on DCI.org is titled "Canadian Tidbits." Anyone care to expand/expound on their tidbits for a future Fanfare column? If so, please send it to me at boomike@dci.org. Thank you.

OrlandoContraAlum Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Ummm... not trying to be difficult, but...I think I have a plaque saying that Madison won percussion ensemble at I&E in 1988... Hey, fair enough.. I thought that they won, but I guess my tour memory is not 100%. It WAS 18 years ago! (shudder) I know they did really well that year... I wonder where they did finish... is there any way to find out? BTW... congrats on winning I&E (and DCI!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orpheus Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Credited as being the first touring corps, the Cadets traveled three weeks by bus to Los Angeles in 1950 for one single show, to defend their Legion title. That tour ended on a dramatic note, when the corps' bus broke down in Wagon Mound, New Mexico, on the way home. Owing to a dispute between corps members and locals, the whole corps was run out of town at gunpoint. ... would be great to hear more about that. Sounds like quite a story!

jwillis35 Posted July 14, 2006 Author Share Posted July 14, 2006 Yeah, I would love to hear more about the Cadets 1950 trip to LA and back, with them being run out of town at gun point in New Mexico. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lnavis Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 My mother-in-law has a great story about my (now) husband when he was marching in the Scouts. He was at work one day and had to run home grab is uniform and get to a stand still proformance at a local business. He ran in and quickly threw on his uniform pants/shirt and grabbed the rest of the uniform pieces and his horn and ran out the door. On his way out the door he told his mom that if anyone called to let them know he was on his way. A few minutes later the phone rang and his mom answered. The person on the other end said, "Hello, I'm so and so from the corps and I'm looking for Don." She said, "Oh, he just left. He's all dressed in his uniform and will be there in just a few minutes." The other person then said with some confussion, "Oh he's already dress in his uniform?" She said, "Yes, you are from the corps right?" To my mother-in-law's surprise he said, "I'm from the Marine Corps. We were calling see if Don was interested in joining." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
