1984 27th Lancers

[@firestation211]

1984 was one of the best drum lines I ever heard. They should have been #1 in percussion. Those guys were amazing that year.

[@StirlingEMunro]

Thank you.

[@marial8235]

@@StirlingEMunroYes. Awesome. The tenors were🔥

[@tombias9489]

Thank you Mike Hewlett for putting up with me. Thank you Drew Porter for giving me the nickname" Sputnik" It stuck so hard, people thought it was my real name. Being from WV, I really felt like family. I loved every second. I grew up with and because of everyone I marched with. If I could have changed anything, I would have believed in the show and everyone more. The world needs more Mrs.Pattys.

Tom Bias That is me liking my previous KZbin comment from my previous KZbin name.

[@michaelhulett5968]

Tom, it was a pleasure. My only regret is that it took me so many years to actually see your comment. Hope all is well. BTW, I have many vids here on YT.

[@StirlingEMunro]

Thank you

[@LyleFrancisDelp]

Alas...we didn't get to see the guard at the end of the drum feature. That's always the best part.

[@tombias9489]

OOSE BABY! What a phenomenal, wicked pissa drumline!

[@StirlingEMunro]

Thank you

[@LyleFrancisDelp]

Lancers we’re always one of my favorites. Such a shame they folded.

[@tombias9489]

Thank you Pride of Cincinnati for the ride home. Love you guys too!

[@Chickboom34]

They were. I can attest to that. I marched Bridgemen that year and saw them daily.

So many close-up of some awesome people!, including my close "sisters" in heaven Julia Beth Brabson and Laurie Dunn Dube

[@thomasbias5260]

Steven Ottersburg I miss Julia.

[@markt1960]

I was there too - and that drumline was amazing.

[@LyleFrancisDelp]

I've always loved those double flags. If I'm not mistaken, 27th pioneered the double flag.

[@jeffreydancinger2875]

Man, they got their use out of the Piston Rotor Contras.

[@samsignorelli]

Cavies, VK, and Garfield had them as well that year.

[@bengemeister]

Great show! Haven't seen 1984 before. Love the Guard unis-haven't seen them before.

[@stevenottersburg6771]

One of the hardest rifle books 0 I can still do concert - as long as my Jenny Hagen reminds me - LOL Also the last time I ever used a "junior" rifle

[@jerrydial5984]

I was there and loved it!

[@LyleFrancisDelp]

Dat Guard tho!!!!

[@samsignorelli]

We (BD) were still on our busses on the way to the college when this was going on. They were in the lot after the run when we pulled in.

[@LyleFrancisDelp]

Aside from the excerpt from Beethoven 9th in the drum feature, I don’t recognize any of the tunes. Can anyone elucidate?

[@jitaylor1987]

Eric's theme from chariots of fire, concert we called fake niner two, drum solo I forget, exit. Yentl

[@LyleFrancisDelp]

@@jitaylor1987 The drum feature is the scherzo from Beethoven's 9th symphony.

[@hturt4]

That percussion! 27th is the best percussion section never to win that caption. Top contender every year.

[@marial8235]

Yeah, year after year excellence,🥁
