I swear, the editing on these camera angles was positively RANDOM. Like, what experienced drum corps film crew would cut AWAY from the massed snare + tenor line when we are right up front at 9:00 ? (I'm the end tenor there) Cut to the guard doing very little, then show our feature riffs _from the top of the stadium_, then cut to closeup _when we aren't doing much_ (watered down tenor lick), then @ 10:06, they start zooming in _from the farthest possible away camera_ during our epic 16-man-front playing on each other's drums! Truly, a dart-board may have been able to catch better camera angles than that director did that day. I'm still pissed, as there's no other existing footage of our 88 show.

The opener was Tico Tico, Shoshana, and then The Rain Forest. The second piece wasa Appalachian Morning, Earth Song, and Minuano. The third was Both Sides Now. The finale, of course, Russian Christmas Music.

Epic and funny truth here. I never knew what he looked like until now. Those will be some HUGE shoes to fill when he decides to pass the torch. He can have that Gig til he can’t do it anymore. I remember in 1995 walking on the field in Buffalo NY for prelims and hearing his voice for the first time I knew it was big time. Thank you Brandt Crocker.

Tears, man. Just tears. I marched from 1990-1995 for a small, midwestern corps. I traveled all across the country, at least in the Midwest, South and other places. His voice was THE voice you wanted to hear at the show. And if you were marching and you didn't hear him at the end during the retreat you really didn't care. Now they don't have retreats, but it was a part of drum corps competition, history and honor. Now, it's too time consuming and the kids from various corps can't greet one another. But anywho, it was a privilege and a honor to have heard this man all these years and that a legacy was carried down. Thank you, sir. Job well done. And loooong overdue. 💗🌹
