GGarrett Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 I have only herd bits and parts of this story. but one id like to know all of. its soposedly a white ghost thing that would run infront of drumlines when they would go in the middle of a dark field and chant something like the great white stick or something. has anyne seen this and prove this to be drumcorps fact? oh yeah... it's true. It all started back around 2000 bc... at Stonehenge. But it wasn't the "great white stick" they chanted, it was: "This guy's the tic" ...and they would leave the person out there for like three days or something and come back. If he was still alive, he could march on the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slow Adam Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 The Great White Stick is actually a pretty serious and sacred drumline ceremony, not something to be crapped on or made fun of. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never heard of it... so I could care less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyboy Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 What kind of secret are we talking about? I've been marching and teaching drumlines for 25 years and the first time I heard of the "great white stick" was three days ago on DCP.
