cabsbari79 Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Lets not forget my trivia question from last year that the 1st Drum Corps Grand Prix was held in Paterson, NJ in Hincliffe Stadium. This Stadium was located next the the Historic Great Falls in Paterson. I haven't been back to that neighborhood in a couple years but I heard a rumor they may rebuild the stadium.

Cabsleadbari79 Posted June 29, 2007 Author Share Posted June 29, 2007 Bobby Were you in your stroller or did you have your Big Wheel at the show? Fran Because you are much older than I am. I was watching the old guys on the field setting under the over hang in 78 having a beer. Boy did it look hot out that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
