DPEmerald Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Hi everyone, In 1977 a corps I was with the Holy Family Defenders of Rockland, MA went to the US Open and made Open class finals. I am looking for recaps, or the names of any photographer that might have been there. I went through a couple of people that worked that show but they don't remember if anyone that might have taken photos of that show, prelims or finals. We have a reunion in July so any help would be appreciated. Thanks Dale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a website at one time...not sure if he still does or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DPEmerald Posted May 30, 2007 Author Share Posted May 30, 2007 I would say Moe Knox. Moe Knox 26 Fairview St Devon, CT 06460 (203) 874-1003 moeknox@aol.com Thanks, I spoke with Moe a few times and he did not go that far west. He stayed in the NJ/CT area and didn't even get to the World Open that year. I did also speak with the radio station and then one of the old committee members. He faxed me a copy of the program cover but had no pictures or recaps. The newspaper is a possibility, I'll go in that direction but if anyone knows of anyone that might have pics from 77 of the Defenders I would appreciate it.

Thanks Dale Dale, One of the Bluecoats former parents/boosters/all around great guy Dave Delap made recordings of a bunch of the US Open performances. I don't know how I ended up with these recordings (Dave died in 1990 and they were passed along to the corps and they have made their way into my possession now) but I might actually have your corps performance on tape. I will look and if I have it, would be glad to donate it to you, if for no other reason than your corps alumni should have it. Check with me at darren.webb@insightbb.com if you don't hear back from me. DW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been trying for years to find one. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
