I remember one from 1980, I want to say it was SOA. I'm not sure they
used it all year, but it went something like this:
On the starting line... Drum major, is your Corps ready?
DM looks, sees the guard member front and center doesn't have a flag.
He turns and yells "Noooooo", while DM#2 runs from the back sideline,
'head-chopping' the rest of the guard w/ the 'missing' flag. As he
goes by, equipment is spinning, flying, etc. He hands her the flag,
and both DM's salute. Ease into Georgia on my mind....
27 Lancers also had some good salutes

bad ass. He was truelly big, bad and blue. My image of BD what the blue team is
like.
Damon Williams, SCV drum major (i forget which years, but he aged out in 98),
he is what i imagine when i think SCV, hard, powerful, intimidating.

VK salutes were always fun.
I've also always been partial to Regiment's Drum Major salutes.

I gotta tell ya -- I really despise those high school drum major salutes
where the kids feel the need to swing their arms around for sixteen
counts or more. That's absolutely ridiculous. I don't know about other
parts of the country, but around here it's pretty much required. Why
can't they just salute and be done with it? At least drum corps hasn't
gotten that bad, Larry.

no he didn't....he handed it to someone...
apperently he was borrowing another corps' podium, and it wasn't big enough to
keep the shako on...I asked him about it once...

salute, if you can get the video, was in Freelancer's '83 show. They have
this very energetic, very intense, black dm. They are playing some jazz #
with a cool walking contra part. At the end, when he is totally getting
into directing the music, he suddenly snaps to stiff attention, and with the
last few counts, does an about face, shoots his arm straight out, and cuts
the corps off with the salute he gives to the audience.
I have no idea who this guy was, or if he was even a good drum major, but
that is on the PBS broadcast & is one of the great dm moments etched in my
memory. Not necessarily the "best" salute of all time, but definitely
unlike any other I've seen since, and bursting with intensity. I'd love to
see someone do that, or a variation on that on the field today.

Mike,
Carl was truly intense, and according to stories of him heard throughout
my first couple of years of Freelancers, a damn good drum major too.
Didn't he also play a baritone solo in that show?
Another truly intense Freelancers DM was Paul Zimny in '77. His idea of
a sulute at the end of Bellavia was throwing his plume into the stands
at finals. And he was even more intense off the field as a marching
instructor. You can see him on Bob Doran's Royal Aires site DMing the
Royal Aires at quite a young age.
More DM Salute votes go to SCVs DMs in 86 and '87 and Mark Ramthun of
Madison in '87.

Actually, Grant got it right...and Aaron was early. They had changed the
salute the day before, and Ozminski forgot the change. He admitted it to
me last year after we told the story at a bonfire.

Madison DM's seem to have, but to me the salute that is etched in my head is
the one that Dustin Winslow of the Cavies does at the end of their 1995
performance...the look on his face is just awesome.

I like the salute that the 2 DM's of SCV did back in 1986. When the final
scores were announced they creeped out very slooooww to position and then a
lightning fast salute. All of SCV DM's are very sharp.

Spectical City Mariners and the DM had the nickname of Captain Crunch.
He was delivered by helicopter to the field for the corps opener.

Two Things:
Cavies 1993. The whole guard did it with the DM. It was very sharp.
Whoever is complaining about this thread - IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE THREAD

Wow...somebody is complaining about this thread? It deals with drum
corps, it discusses a facet of drum corps life....what more do people
want? If someone is really complaining about this thread, I suggest you
make one up of your own.

all the other great majors to come out of Phantom) but a few that
really stick out in my mind are Marcia Hansen (PR 83-84) I didn't know
it was a woman until she took the helmet off. all of Miami was silent.
They then proceeded to tear the crappy stadium apart with 18 snares and
the 1812 overture.
Another that sparks memories is Mark Horigan (PR 89) He was like 8
feet tall, and in that Black uniform looked like Darth Vader. By the
way, he was a good DM as well.

Kiwanis Kavaliers' drum major from 1989 to 1996, Matt Bluhm. He had
this kind of slow motion salute. His salute in '96, when the corps
played West Side Story was the best! After his long, slow-mo salute, he
started doing all of these other cheesy things (pointing to crowd
members in the cool swagger, flexing, waving, etc.) while the hornline
was coming in. Very entertaining!

Bridgemen. When the Field Announcer would ask if the corps was ready,
he would turn around and comically shrug his shoulders indicating "I
don't know?". It never failed to get a laugh fro the audience. He was
a pretty good DM too. Loved that thick Georgia accent!
