cowtown Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Another thread got me to thinking… What did you do with your? Mine has sat in the back of the closet for about 20 years, making a few moves to different houses with me but never being worn. I should throw it out, thought about it a few times, asked my sister and she threw hers out but still, there it hangs. And yeah, I could try to wear it, it’d still fit but I’d feel like cheese that was past the expiration date Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a popular corps, ther'll be a feeding frenzy!! I sold my drill book from 1990 to some guy in Japan, and got 80 bucks for it. Good luck!

GuyW Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 I'd never let either of my corps jackets go... ...especially my new Kingsmen member jacket (which I never had back in the day)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elphaba01 Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 (edited) "Corps Jackets": None of mine from the 1960s have survived. I have a couiple others that are really starting to "Age", but I could never bring myself to get rid of them. Too many good memories.

bluecoats88 Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 (edited) I have 4. The one my brother custom ordered for me in 1984 The one the corps started giving out in 1987 when you signed your contract The Alumni Jacket the corps gave you at the banquet when you aged out the one I custom ordered in 1995 to replace my 1984 jacket. And I would never get rid of any of them Edited June 5, 2007 by bluecoats88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldpin Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I still have mine but I did cut the name off backin the '60s - wish I hadn't done that now. However, I'll never part with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I have 3. They are the only things I have that really show any of the history of the corps I marched with. I try and where one of them to drum corps shows here in Japan when I can go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
