Husband and I marched with Marauders and Iron Brigade, (Detroit area) from 1971-74. We were not DCI caliber, but loved what we had anyway. No beating the friendships and comraderie of corps members. Went to DCI in Ithaca, 1974; loved Madison Scouts that year. Things have really changed in drum corps, but we still love it. We'd like to see more competitions, but show admissions have become really pricey. Not too much corps left in Michigan.

We still talk about and miss Blue Rock, Anaheim Kingsmen, Argonne Rebels, 27th Lancers, Polish Falcons, Troopers, Santa Clara's "bottle dance"....always enjoyed the trip to Marion, Ohio for USA Open.

Didn't Cavies do The Wizard of Oz in say...1971?

Best part of my teenage years, plus met my husband. Lots of hard work in corps, but wouldn't have traded it for anything.
