tommytimp Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 What about star in 1988.I don't remember exactly how many snres they had but I do know that they had snares instead of pop drums on their tenors that year. So technically you would have to count their snare line and tenor line for total snares on the field during that show. I think it was seven and seven for primarily that reason. I didn't even notice the snares on the spocks until one of our snares told me about it and I went to see for myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were pretty cool, but freakin' heavy. By the end of the Orange Bowl parade I was ready to die! If I recall correctly they had an 8" or 10" drum with a kevlar head and steel snares taped on the bottom of the head. Had kind of a Scottish drum sound to it.

Brassman53 Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Stockton Commodores took 12th place at DCI Finals in Whitewater in 1973 with only three snares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From left to right in that photo, # 3, 4, 6, 10, & 11 participated in the alumni corps show, and #12 came and helped us out a little Another "in action" shot from '78 - pre pit days, where the snare line could come up and stand right on the front line and throw it down...

Well Geno that means you're either #3 and have lost your hair since then or #4 and grew a foot since then because I recognize the other 4 guys.

Nope, Mike, I was in the Guardsmen in '78. But I have indeed lost much of my hair... you got that part right. :P You are seeing Matthews... the self- proclaimed "old man" of the alumni line, who now looks better than all of us younger than him did; Dennis Lindley; Tim Hummel and Dave Herrick ("Sundance"). The two you aren't getting are Tracy Newnam and Ken Schneider. Hummel was in the Marquis (Fon Du Lac) and Tracy was a Geneseo Knight. Those others are Madison pure-breads. Dave "Sundance" Herrick went out and was a judge for a few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geno, Actually I was the "old man" in the battery in the alumni corps (51, having aged out in '76) that is why I believe I was refered to as "the oldest with the biggest", Guerno was the second oldest at 50 (aged out in '77) and Matthews and Robin were probaby both 49. "Sundance" was one of the 3 rookies in my bass drum line in 1976 (of course he could play circles around me). I was also the oldest marching Scout in 1976 being 21 years 11 months at finals. I guess I like the grandfatherly advice roll. In the alumni corps Bill Gandt (in the front line) of course had a few years on all of us, he marched 1952 -1957 I guess this topic is supposed to be about snare lines-so I'll let Matthews retain his "old man" title.
