ekrebs102 Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 The last notes I played on my snare before I "attempted" to sing Auld Lang Sine in 96, my age-out year. I realized that I would never be able to play my snare in a competitive junior corps again. That fact was also ironed into my brain the entire summer as I was the only age-out in the battery at Bluecoats that year and Jason Williams, one of our techs, kept using it as a motivational tool for everyone else that year. Thanks, Jason. Actually, it was one of the best times of my life, and one that is seered into my brain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madscout96 Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 The end of SCV 1989. Most of SCV's 1992 show. The ending credits of the 1992 PBS Broadcast, where they showed moments from drum corps shows of the past, to a string arrangement of "Danny Boy". The Gail Royer tribute on the 1993 PBS Broadcast, where they showed moments from SCV shows of the past, to "Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again". Phantom Regiment 1993, "Fire Of Eternal Glory". Boston Crusaders 2000, "Time To Say Goodbye". Aging out. Wait, does admitting that I cried during these times mean I get my Man Card taken away???

RubellaScurvy Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 A few years after I aged out, I was listening to a recording of 1982 27th Lancers and during Niner-Two, I realized I was crying. I also shed a few tears when Lancers did the alumni corps in 1994. I have no doubt whatsoever that I will cry like a baby if I'm fortunate enough to see the Anaheim Kingsmen alumni corps perform. Sometimes, the big crescendo in "On the Town" by SCV in 1983 will make me teary-eyed. RES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revoeuph Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 I've seen Glassmen's show a3 times this year so far, twice in San Antonio and once in Baton Rouge (fortunately they went on before it started raining) I've always been a fan of Beethoven's music, and was highly antipicating this show because of it, particularly Moonlight Sonata. It completely blew me away, very well done contra solo, and at the end of the show, Ode to Joy moved me to tears. Amazing that Beethoven wrote his most powerful symphony when he was almost completely deaf. Glassmen pulled this show off very well I think.

decompressed Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 In 1997 when i was on staff at Spirit and we made Semi-Finals. We came back to the buses and Jimmy Newman had champagne ready and we were spraying the kids like we just won the world series. It was an awesome experience.
