- The two that come to mind are Scott Taylor (who marched center snare in
- 1979 and 1980) and Craig Linton (who marched Troopers in 1979 and end
- snare in PR in 1980.) Both of them worked our butts off in 1981 and
- 1982.

-
- What's funny is that, being from the Midwest, I had a deep respect for
- PR until I was in a corps that was really competitive with them. Then a
- lot of the things that I had heard people from Madison say really hit
- home.
-
- I really felt for PR in 1985, they seemed to have so *many* problems
- that summer.

-
- >1981-82... Saginaires
-
- I have a lot of really fond memories of this corps, they were really a
- nice bunch of people. Is one of these years the Christmas show (they
- played Silent Night as a closer.)
-
- >1983-84... Phantom Regiment
-
- What section(s)? Maybe I can find you on the PBS broadcasts. One of my
- favorite all-time snare licks if from the 1983 1812 production. The
- only part I'm fairly sure about was a flamaque followed by a lazy seven.
- It was hot.

- >1985...... Blue Devils

-
- We may have met at one of the Texas shows, we got through with run
- throughs early and got to go down and watch BD rehearse. (They returned
- the favor the next day.) I met several of their snares. (It was funny
- because my jacket said flugelhorn but I was talking about some pretty
- absurd rudiments.)
-
- >BTW, what's "net gurus?"
-
- An inside joke about a consulting service I used to work for. I guess
- it's obscure enough I ought to change it.
-
- Later,
