I'm fortunate enough to have one of them in my line this year...Steve
Alves. Not to leave out Billy Karns (sp?)

I would have to say this one player from Devs. He was to the left of
the section leader in '96. He was playing some of the most
unbelievable stuff I have ever seen. He has some hands.

My vote goes to Leif Marwede (PR '83-'84, BD '86). How about it, Leif?

There have been A LOT of phenomenal players out there - to argue who's
best is something that will undoubtedly never be resolved...
Let's steer this thread towards giving the great players out there the
credit and recognition they deserve!!
Some great players I have experienced:
Josh Beales - 87-88-89-90 BDQ5
Chris Robinson - 85-86-87(?) BDQ5
Morgan Case - 86-87-88 BDQ5
Leif Marwede - (?)PR, 86 BDQ5
Pat Fitzgerald - 84-85 Spartans, 86-87 BDQ5
Bob Jones - QB 92-93-96
Richard Galloway - QB 93-94
Bill Bachman QB 94-95
**props to Scott Johnson, who taught me in BD 89 - he could ram most of
the stuff standing in front of you backwards, and off the left...
My apologies to anyone I left out!

George Collins
That guy is Sean Vega and he won individuals in '95. He's the section
leader this year and he's been marching since '94.

SCVGIRL96
You have to admit though, Camden, the centor tenor, was pretty amazing
too. If you ever got to sit in on a BD drumline warm-up, it was
definitely a treat. In Madison last year, we were lucky enough to get the
night off on the second night to watch the corps. We watched the BD
warm-up. I was certainly impressed. Later...

I honestly believe that Steve Alves of The Sunrisers is the best tenor
player I've seen to date..He's won individuals, I believe 2 years in a
row...good stuff!
Good luck this year, Skele-quad!

Chet Doboe
One of the most talented tenor players and musicans, that I've seen is
in my group the Hip Pickles. His name is Chris Scherer and he is a
2x DCA Tenor drum Champion. Chris does some preety unique and
amazing things.

I would say Anooj Thakker of VK 94-95, or Sean Vega definitely of
BluDevils.
William Scott Spicer
Leif Marweide taught our drumline for a few years then went away and
then came back in the fall of '95. He IS the best tenor player around.
Do you know anybody else that can play triplet subdivision with one
hand at 140?
Spicer
Viscoor
I'll put a vote in for Chris Burroughs currently with BD 95(?)-97, before
that with Blue Knights.
Wayne Bovenschen
Leif Marwede - the most musical tenor player in DCI history (from 1980
anyway - I'm not THAT old). The best solo ever written.
Matt Almire is a VERY close second. Also very musical.
Music is the key - pure chops without phrasing is similar to a chainsaw.
Wayne
BTW - if I remember right, in 1986 they had two judges at individuals -
one had Leif in 1st, one in 8th......hmmm.......I guess a stick drop
really means you are a horrible musician (in one guys opinion). The
other judge had it right. IMHO.

Hey, anybody remember "Ghandi" from Limited Edition 91, 92; also North
Texas, Goshen, IN? Having marched with him, I know that he was greatly
respected by the folks we toured with. Been a few years since I have
seen him (PASIC in Columbus), so I don't know if he has built more of a
reputation or not.

Billy IS great.. I marched with him in Bushwackers (1993), and he's quite
intense!! (Stop his head from bobbing, though.. Jesus..)
DVAdams
I can't believe no one has even mentioned Dan Bohan, PR'78-82?
( not sure if his last year was '81 or '82 ).
Dan was the first tenor player I know of to use four mallets
simultaneously. The first time he won individuals ( '80 ) he scored a
98-something.
Dave Adams PR '78
Snaredrum3
One more consideration to think about.
Collin McNut........ Mike Abadacka(sp)
These guys were the heart behind an unimaginable tenor line, the
likes of which may never be seen again.
DCICadet
If you want to see one of the best (it's is impossible to call "a best")
tenor lines ever, just go to the show nearest you where the cadets are
billed. Their you will see some of the best tenors in history.
I don"t care if you are or are not using the tick system, they don't tick.
Texdrums
Got one more for you......Sunrisers, 1989--Steve Alves, Brian Kagan, Billy
Carnes, and Kenny Berlow....also known as" Da
Rhode Island Crew"! If you have a chance, check out '89 Sun, and you'll
understand why. Just something from the senior ranks!
Just a fan of tenor lines in general.......

Hmm very interesting, They were good, not the Best, and i Marched Sun that

>BUNKO RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good call David. I was wondering if anyone was going to mention Pat. One
of the greatest players I've ever seen. Along with Pat I think two other
people should mentioned. Bill Carnes was definitely a great one but Leif
Marwede (BD '96) may be one of the best that ever hung a set of tenors on
his back. Leif was so tall he just looked so intimidating with the drums
on. He had some incredible hands and was nothing short of a fantastic
teacher. Simply a great one.
SCout72386
Scott Pearson Scouts early 80's, awesome
DirEbony
One of the best tenor lines, I feel was the 1989 Bluecoats. Many of them
went on to SCV in 1990.
Just my thoughts.
Warren Adams
David & Susan Ratliff
One of the best tenor lines has to be 1990 Cavaliers. They had the top
finishing 3 individuals that year! Jason Trigg-1 Marc Churchill-2 Pat
McGowan-3
just my 2 cents.......
Dave
CarbonDrum
I think that my homeboy Vern Johnson (BD 87-88-89-90-92) should definately
be on the list. He plays at disneyland anaheim in the drum corps there...

gots to give it up for M.R. John Hadfield. Anybody who has jammed with
him knows what I'm talking about. (SINGLES!!!!!!!)

I'm not sure of the names of people, but i've seen some Cavies solo's
and i always thought the tenors were good.

J. J. Pippitone (sp?) is with PR right now. Reg's Lee Hansen (now with
