We started putting it together in '74 in anticipation of marching in the Bicentennial Parade in Philly, which we did in '76 representing Alaska and shattering a large display window in Gimbels department store along Market St. Did mostly parades until '78, when we did a full exhibition at the Dream (actually 5 minutes overtime - sorry Mickey). The only alumni corps to march the Dream in the old venue. Thanks for the '84 re: Ct. Alumni Edited September 9, 2006 by Jimbalaya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
