the roll by the mile. no roll was an invite to "what other instrument

Robert Thatcher from the Skyliners Drum and Bugle corps. I would like to think
that he took a dead drumline (the corps folded in '98) and put out a very
respectable product in '99 and '00 good luck next summer rob!!!

You mean in 15 posts no one has mentioned Fred Sanford? Yikes! And, yes,
Float is a amazing at producing CLEAN lines! It's also interesting how many
connections some of the folks mentioned have Jerry Kirby taught Float and
Hardimon who marched together at Anaheim, right? Paul Rennick worked with
Float in years past, as did another name that should be listed here, Mike Back,
who marched in Spirit, taught me in the tenor line, and later was caption head.

My vote goes to the little gizmo you stick on the car-battery
terminals....the one with the steel brush inside that you rotate this
way and that to clean of the terminals.

Glad to see some serious credits. Here's my nods for the list (in no
particular order):

Fred (40 stroke Freddy) Johnson - Blast from the past with Ambassadors
but still a heck of a drumming guru

Chris Thompson - Cru used to love when this guy came in after DCI He
can work wonders

Bill McGrath III - Was a Godsend in front of Cru's Tenor line this
summer. Thanks Buddy

Jack Pratt.....

Worked my snares in a corps I wrote and taught for in the mid-late 70's.

Not only a great drummer, but he had the best classical music album
collection I ever saw. Ask him for a recording, and he'd ask you which
orchestra and which conductor you wanted. He had thousands of albums in
his basement.

He ALSO had a great collection of old comics, long before they became
true collectors items. Must be worth a HUGE fortune today. I believe he
did a thesis for grad school on the impact of comics on the war effort
during WWII.

Gee, Jake. How could you forget Mitch? You, bongo playing fool, Maynard G.
Krebs type, you.

Jim will always remain in my "book". One of the best, who has *worked* with
the best, in anyone's "book". 'Nuff said in my "book"...

Sidenote: Look out Rick B. Jim plans on attending DCA I&E in the next couple
of years, when he's ready and has the funds. If anyone can take the title,
he will. He's a monster on snare when focused...

Be afraid, be very afraid...

Yeah; Pugsley (Bob McCarthy) was relentless.  Also, how about:

Marty Hurley (and his brother Jimmy, too, for that matter)
Glen Crosby - great job with the Cadet lines back in the mid-late 80's, and
the California lines in the 90's
Jim Dugan - great work with Bush and Bluecoats, and now the Hurcs.  Good
overall show guy, too.
Bobby Craig - lots of lines here on the east coast benefited from Bobby's
expertise.
Ted Nicholeris - a true drum corps lunatic - but he could definitely get the
job done.

... and so many others. Jeez, there've been a lot of great ones over the years
- hats off to them all!
