Those were the days! Love all of you....

I so remember this drum corp , i believe, in 1970 at Lynn, Mass for the DCI championship they only had half a drum corp due to a bus breaking down. If i remember correctly, they did an exhibition. That was the year the Troopers won it all with their star burst M&M. However. The Mariners put on an insane performance with an amazing M&M with half a corp and after concert, they proceeded to finish their program at the end of the field. That is when i saw Captain Crunch and his understudy go back on the field with serval feet between them. The understudy had a saber at which he threw spinning backwards towards Captain Cruch who was saluting and at which he brought his hand down he stepped to his reach up and caught the saber and thrusted point down into the ground. Then saluted again. The crowd went wild. Lucky for the Troopers that year because they would have lost that world open. My family still talks about that til this day. Amazing.

So many awesome memories from the years In the Wis Rapids Zephyers! Class C but we kept busy. The Kundingers ran it then

Fantastic article. Loved Prince's sweet hornline when they first pulled slides, espcially Jimmy Murphy's Sweet Ga. Brown. Saw them first in the late 50s at the Dream. Played at the indoor Drumfest with the Interstatesmen in the 60s. Their uniforms were so great, also the jackets and cutters. Competed against Prince in mid 60"s. Never knew George B directed them at one period 8. Thanks for the historical writing!

Everyone looks so young... if you could have seen 26 years into the future you would have played "You're Still a Young Man"... Hard to believe the corps was only 5 years old at that point.

Miss these old warmups

Tru was so very proud of what each and every member of RA accomplished. A crowning moment, I sure do miss this style of music.

I was at this show. Drum corps fans know quality when they see and hear it. COL Truman W. Crawford was our famous Yankee Rebels' drum major, arranger and instructor. He was with the Rebels when the corps won American Legion Natioanals in 1969, 1970 and 1971. I miss him to this day.

What year is that photograph from? I think it was 1962 or maybe 1963, I am just guessing. Please let me know, if you can what your is. Former member of the Floyd Bennett golden eagles from Brooklyn New York 1960 and 1961, and former member of the Long Island Sunrisers 1964 through 1968. Today is June 25th 2022

LOUIE OUT OF STEP

Truman Crawford one of the all-time greats. May he rest in peace. The Royal heirs drum and bugle Corps put on an outstanding performance in spite of the rain, the crowd loved the Royal heirs from Chicago I apologize for any errors due to voice recognition and I am visually impaired so I apologize

FYI Ken Normans passing ! 5 9 2021, I knew him very well when I was with the Kenosha Kingsmen ( 63 - 70 ) Got called up from the USNR to Active USN Dec 70 , Often my brother Bruce and I would meet Ken at the Madison Scouts show or when the DCI show was in Madison or White Water, we would also see him at the KILTS Senior show in Racine or some other shows, sadly since Bruce passed away in 2016, I have not gotten to any show. ?? I wonder what is going to happen with Kens great collection of bugles ? Bye Ken ! Ralph 5 11 2021 Go Army Retired

Is this the Fleetwood album called the prince man? They were great senior drum and bugle Corps

I had a Fleetwood recording and the name of it was the prince men 1958 and 1959. I played that record hundreds of times over and over again they would definitely one of the old-time great drum and bugle Corps has missed by many. The cover of the album had Prince been on the starting line with the judge looking down the line as a teenager I was super impressed

Gone but not forgotten

Do You Have 76 or 77 or 78 Bridgemen warmups? I Have the shows on dvd, but I Loved Playing the warmups before The Performance!

Great show. Great Corps. Great Friends!!! A Corps FULL of Giants!!!

I was only fortunate to see the core perform live one time but they were great and the crowd seemed to really really like them I enjoyed them very much good Drum Corps.

Lieutenant Norman Prince been a great drum and bugle Corps I compute against them many times when I was in the Sun rises in the sixties

Ed Santoro was my Dad (RIP). He was so proud to have been a Princeman during their World Champion years! Oh the stories...the road trips: He and Paul Pelange, Frank Benoit, Jim Pinette, and Vinnie Gallant and many others, who became my "Uncles" and extended family in the Alumni years of Lt. Norman Prince! And let us NOT forget the Famous and Illustrious Arthur F. "Scotty" Chappell! Hail Hail to The Chief!! Wonderful Memories!

I first saw this great corps at Mission Drums at either Harvard or BC stadium in late 1950's.

I had a copy of the Fleetwood 1958 recording of the Frenchman one side was the field competition and the other side was a standstill exhibition and I probably play that record a thousand times if not more love it and I was also lucky enough to be at the 1959 dream contest to witness them first-hand and yes they were outstanding I'm a former member of the Floyd Bennett golden eagles from Brooklyn New York and then the Long Island Sunrisers 1964 through 1968 great memories thank you Prince men not Frenchman I apologize for voice recognition It should read Prince men not Frenchman

Still are!

John Nee was the instructor for St Mary’s Shoreliners of Hull, MA in the early 60’s. He had formerly been a member of The Princemen. A great guy!

Do you have any other 1975 dci videos

ONE OF THE GREAT DRUM AND BUGLE CORPS EVER. FORMER MEMBER OF THE LONG ISLAND SUNRISES.

Performing under the Colonel's direction is one thing.....Helping him with his uniform and medals in the Men's room under the stands is another.... If you only knew how it felt to march under the arch the guard gave us.....

What a lovely area for a two mile walk. Monty is a lucky dog.

Christmas be so special at your house.

I love the scenery and beautiful music as well as watching Monty's swimming skills. Most of all I loved hearing Daddy's voice and getting a peek at his dock siders. This is one of my favorites,

I can hear Daddy's voice in this video. What a great Dad to brave the 6 degrees and snow! I can only imagine what a happy family you have enjoying this beautiful animal together.

Love this video. The water must be freezing but it's nothing to a Newfoundland.

I watched this video and suddenly I want a big dog! Monty has such a handsome face just like his Daddy.

I played for 1 season 1968 ? but was with the Kenosha Kingsmen 1964 to 1970, was called up for the USN Seebees. Corps back then was excellent ! Friends in he Mariners was Eugene Russell, Dan Clark and others ! Retired US Army now since 2003. Military 24 years, 7 months and s7 days ! Brother and I got to as many shows that we could in the Midwest, since 2007. Sadly ! Bruce passed away unexpected this 2016 ! I'd like to hear from corps members ! GO ARMY

Just for interest, these were recorded in a VW Microbus using an Ampex 351-2-P running at 15 ips. Microphones were a pair of Neumann U48's set on cardioid. They were on on Atlas 7' booms with reach extenders and sand bags to hold them down. Their performance at The Dream [August 30, 1959] brought down the house !!! Nine other competing corps were recorded at that event, not all made it to record status.

Good corps, back in the day. Wish I could've seen them!

Ahhhh, those were the days, my friends!!!

Jim Pinette was my drill instructor in the 60s - was in the Princemen.

Gorgeous
