byline Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Was Daryl Langworthy with Oakies that year? He was with us at The Royal Coachmen and then went to Seneca and then Oakland and then after that he spent three years with SCV. I don't think so, but John could answer this question better than I. If Daryl is the person I'm thinking of, he marched Seneca in '78 (and possibly before). Then, when Seneca folded after the '78 season, he joined Oakland in '79. So he wouldn't have marched in Oakland's '77 line. I think you can see him in this photo (snare line, black Seneca jacket), taken at a June 1979 exhibition at Scarborough Town Centre; this would've been right after Seneca folded and several Optimists came over to join Oakland: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommytimp Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 The set design looks like a revival of 'A Clockwork Orange.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Devil Legend Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 It was an AWESOME line for sure. You may want to review this, John (sarnia sam) and I discussed the "competition" between the two lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snapettes Mom Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I swear to g...d my nieghbor down the street marched in their snare line and taught the legendary line between 75 and 77. I'm not kidding at all. We met a couple of years ago when he was walking his kid to the store while I was pulling some weeds out front. He mentioned he had heard me playing on my drum pad SCV's Electric Wheel Chair on the back deck and was curious if I ever marched drum corps. After he introduced himself I was literally dizzy. I told him Etobico was the only drum corps I ever bought because of their drum line. Mom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecoats88 Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 looks like what really kept them out of finals was their M&M which placed 21st overall. that kept them out of finals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byline Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 (edited) looks like what really kept them out of finals was their M&M which placed 21st overall. that kept them out of finals. Yup. M&M was always Oakland's weak link, but never more so than that year, just because of the fact that it essentially denied the drum line their trophy by keeping the corps out of finals.

Russellrks Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I was wondering if anyone knows if Float did the writing for Etobicoke in 76-77? I seem to remember hearing that Ralph Hardimon did at least some of the book those years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
