byline Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Menagerie was simply amazing. They impacted me deeply. I do remember the crowd being very "mixed" in their response. I was marching in a crappy class A guard at the time so I had the opportunity to watch many of their performances. From that point on I knew that I wanted to start a guard that could have that kind of impact. After a 2 year (83/84) stint with the Cavaliers several of us left to form Anthron. We lasted for 4 years and made the World finals 2 times. Menagerie was a definite influence to many of us who wrote the show. Thanks for remembering them! I remember Anthron! So cool that Menagerie had that kind of influence on you! Thanks for sharing that memory. :) Someone else mentioned Conquest's moving backdrops in 1984. I remember that show, too! Was that a kind of vampire/monster program? That was an amazing show! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old timer is twirler Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Speaking of little know guards or under appreciated guards. There was a high school guard out of South West, Florida called Players. I believe that they were only competed At nationals for 3-4 years in th late 80’s. I believe they placed 10th place in HS Open Class. The show that did so well was about a forest and the circle of life. Does anyone else remember this show? I remember that they had bunny rabbits, flowers, and lumber jacks as characters and at one point they had enormous flame flags and the forest burned down.
