- We used to do the same thing. One of our bass instructors name was Matt Gore.
- He marched in those years. We used to play a lot of Phantom's melodies
- because they were easy to lift. We also played part of SCV, Suncoast, and
- a BD street beat from early 80's (another instructor of ours marched bass
- for BD then). We were going to go to individuals and do a drum corps through
- the years parady, but it never panned out.
