Throwback Thursday – 1994 Glassmen
My first drum corps family, the Glassmen, during our performance at the 1994 DCI Preview of Champions at the University of Wisconsin’s Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, Wisconsin. That’s me on the left pointing my horn at the crowd.
Throwback Thursday – Bluecoats Alumni Cymbal Line
That’s right. They handed out business cards.

Sticking with the Bluecoats Alumni Corps theme, here’s a montage of photos from our experience this past summer, set to audio of our performance Semifinals night. Enjoy!
12 Corps Of Christmas – 1978-1982 Guardsmen
I’ll admit, this entry onto my list is a stretch since the Guardsmen are playing “Greensleeves”, but considering it is the same melody as “What Child Is This?”, I decided to roll with it. It was a different time for drum corps in the 1970s and 1980s. The uniforms were closer to the military roots… Continue reading 12 Corps Of Christmas – 1978-1982 Guardsmen
Marching Monday – 2010 Bluecoats

Really, the title says it all, doesn’t it?
12 Corps Of Christmas – 1987 Phantom Regiment
1986 was a tough year for the Phantom Regiment. After a string of successful seasons, including multiple title contention years, the corps found itself in 10th place with an “old school” show that, while popular with fans, didn’t speak to the judges. It was time for a refresh, a way for the Regiment to retain… Continue reading 12 Corps Of Christmas – 1987 Phantom Regiment
