I had the privilege of doing this show with the Yankee Rebels Alumni Corps over our alumni's existence. Phil Gentile was our drum major and George Bull was our director for many years. COL Truman Crawford's charts were a challenge to play.

Phil and I were in my brother's (Rich Tochterman) wedding and we went to a dance at MICA afterwards. Funny and a perfect gentleman!

To anyone saying this was easy - YOU MARCH IT Great FRENCH HORNS (which today's geniuses (LOL) can't figure out how to teach anymore - <sarcasm suppressed>)

I was in the mellophone line, we had replaced the french horns with 3 flugelhorns and 6 mellophones. It was difficult marching 4/4 timing with the 7/4 drum solo.

There is nothing like a marched tympani section, playing dynamically, ensemble parts.

Unfortunately no. 1976 was there last real competitive year. I was fortunate to march in 76. Although there was an alumni corp into the 90s
@bradmyers362 4 жыл бұрын
The alumni corps last year was 2010. We do still play at GAS but our last official show was in 2012 at Annapolis.

Wow, extremely complex for that era, 7/4 timing on drum solo, playing separate songs and 2 different tempos, then the finale, slightly ahead of the times in M&M and paved the way for a entertainment theme that is used today.

Unfortunately, today we no longer have real drum and bugle Corps, and my opinion DCI has killed the real from and bugle Corps. They turned it into a marching band competition superimposed on a three-ring circus. The Yankee Rebels were one of the all-time great senior drum and bugle c o r p s. I've competed against them when I was a member of the Long Island sunrise, it was always an honor for me to be on the same competition field with the Yankee Rebels. Thank you for this post it brings back great great memories. Form a member of the Long Island sunrises 1964 through 1968. Long Live Real Drum and bugle c o r p s. I wish people would start thinking about, resurrecting this once great activity. Let the marching bands have their own circuit and do their own thing. God Bless America. Today is July 31st 2022.

I moved to Meadville in 1965 and heard the Thunderbirds practising in a down town parking lot. They were the first modern music drum corps I had ever heard and they sealed my passion for the sport from then until last year.. It's a shame what DCI has become.

This is the year the corps "moved" into DCA Finals. My favorite part of this recording at Aquinas Stadium is @12:25 when the crowd spontaneously "welcomes" the corps with a standing O.

It's interesting comparing it to the Hershey recording from your DVD. Mike Kumer came in before Finals weeks and watered the hell out of the drum book.

This, of course, though appearing on the DCA Finals 3 volume set was actually recorded at RCA Finals in Erie. Thus, the wild hometown screaming heard at various points.

Speaking of Conquest, Steve... I didn't remember that tymp intro at all. Being that we kept it for '73, this rendition sunk into the fog. Also, the little stinger at the end... forgot that too. I am now wretching at In The Still of The Night. THAT'S an all time forgettable exit!

Thank you, Bill!!!!! I only ever had this on a long ago lost cassette. I think I still have the '71 show on an Alf Wateska 78,.. but good ol' '72. WOW! Now THIS is dredging up memories! We only had the two tymps in '72 (Bengie and Rick) so Gus had me playing the third note of the repeating quarter note triplet foundation in the first drum solo on SpongeHead WarpedRims. And typically for a night show with dew, you couldn't hear the wump at all
