Well, here's Miles playing 'The Duke'. Those Conn Recording Tubas sound great, but darn are they heavy.

And here's a little bit of Brubeck's Mass.

And while we’re all at it...let’s check out Art Pepper and/or Gato Barbieri.

Lord God Jesus Christ,

Bring home the soul of Thy servant David and rest him with the saints.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, amen.

in Drum Corps, the Contras are carried on the shoulder but with a smaller straight bell

If you look at orchestral tubas, the bells always point straight up. Conn came up with the bell-front Recording Tuba, because it was easier to mike. Even the first Sousaphones had their bells straight up.

in Drum Corps, the Contras are carried on the shoulder but with a smaller straight bell

I might know a little about that:

I have been out of the loop...didn’t realize he passed away.

Love his music. Just love it.

Thank you, Dave Brubeck. Glad you found God, may you rest in peace...

If you haven't seen it, check out this video of The Dave Brubeck Quartet Plays "Take Five" in 1964. (I think)

Just beautiful. Brought tears to my eyes, just watching it again. The beauty of jazz right there, every single reason why I love jazz just rolled into one video of a song...

I just asked why, but didn’t get a response yet. Puzzling. Maybe it was because I used the words He double hockey stick and the slang word for posterior that begins with “A”.

GREAT shows, Watkins Glen Squires! I had one of their shows on tape...remember when the only way to get the music was to record it yourself or buy the composite tapes from Drum Corps News?

LOL...it was pulled due to language. I didn't realize I was in the religion forum, so I have no complaints. I figured I would post it again without the language...:)

1974 Kingsmen, 1975 Madison Scouts, 1975 Muchachos and 1976 Blue Devils...

Best.

Shows.

Ever.

The golden age of Drum and Bugle Corps, if you ask me...:)

Good to see there are some of you on here!

I made this stencil from a picture out of Drum Corps News back in 1977, and stenciled it on the back of my flight deck jerseys when I was serving in the US Navy.

Funny. Nobody ever told me I couldn't do it. I can't imagine doing it now, I bet some by-the-book petty officer would tell me it was not regulation...:)

Heck. I guess it wasn't, so I wouldn't have been able to complain...
