Little known drum corps facts


Recommended Posts

What's some of the drum corps trivia you've accumulated over the years? Those little known facts that people seem to forget, or not many people seem to know?

I'll start. Cadets 2005's "Liquid" was originally entitled "Waterworks."

Troopers Sunburst is really a high school band's signature move (Circle Expansion) that was taken. Just so happens that both came from the same mind of Don Angelica.

I've been holding off on a Fanfare article from someone who claims to be the first Bones, but we have no photographic proof. I'd love to get to the bottom of this and give credit where credit is due if that's the case, as I hope it is.

He says he did not wear a mask and showed up with a cape in Allentown in 1978, staying up in the backfield bleachers (that no longer exist) only as long as Crossmen's on-field warm-up took place.

There is a photo taken by Ed Ferguson for Drum Corps World that is on the Crossmen alumni website, dated 1979, mentioning that it very well could be the first photo ever taken of Bones.

If anyone has a photo from Allentown 1978, that would be wonderful.

Cadets Liquid is a really hard song for mellophone.

Did you know that the voice on the 2006 Cinecast trailer is the same guy who does those great Budwiser "Great American Hero" ads on the radio?

you mean "Real Men of Genius?"
