What's the drummer's name?

During the late '50s and early '60s St. Kevin's Emerald Knights of Boston
had as honorary members:
Louis Armstrong, Jimmy Durante, Wayne Newton (only a kid then), and some
more I wasn't there to meet.
Oh, and another famous person who actually PLAYED in a DC,
Chick Corea -
who played with St. Rose Scarlet Lancers of Chelsea MA, circa 1960. St.
Rose disbanded in '62 and a lot of members merged with I. C. Reveries of
Revere (next town over) which evolved into 27th Lancers.
Now you know where the name Lancers comes from!! Jim Wedge was the constant
thread.

Neal did not march anywhere. A long time ago, I got to meet him
at the Blue Jays spring training in Dunnedin, Fl. After I got him and
Alex Lifeson to autograph my baseball cap (which they were hating, since
it was a NY Yankees cap), I asked him about drum corps. He knows what
they are (so did Alex, even though he has never played anything but
guitar), but he was never in one.

Andy,
Fred also taught the Cadets drum line in 72, when they fired
George Tuthill after the 1971 season. It was during the era when
Don Angelica would bring folks in to do the Cadets and he'd get
them a job as band director at Bergenfield HS (so they could
actually get paid!), where he was personnel manager. Quite a
symbiotic relationship there for a few years.
Sadly, the entire 72 main Cadet instructional staff is now gone.
Bobby Hoffman did our drill, Don taught us brass, and Fred did
the percussion.
BTW, are you doing any EMBA inbdoor shows? I've been assigned
to a few.

I was assigned to two, which is now down to one. Just not enough competing

to judging indoors.

Yes, it's hard to get a new activity off the ground. Bob is doing
a great coordination job, but he needs to have the schools ready
to put out a group in order for it to be a success.
Which one is cancelled? My first is 2/26, and I have another on
3/18, yet another 4/1 and champs on 4/8, if they all get off the
ground.
Have you heard any numbers about how many lines are coming out
(and who)? Tom Aungst told me Dartmouth might not be able to do
any EMBA shows this season, given the travel costs they incur. He
hoped to do one, but he was doubtful, at least as of January.
>I offered to do a trial/eval tape the Saturday, just to get used

Yes, it's a different animal, that's for sure! It's probably a
worthwhile effort just for your own benefit, if you haven't ever
done one of the indoor shows.

No shows are cancelled. Bob is just reducing the number of judges at each
show. I have the 4/1 show also.
>Have you heard any numbers about how many lines are coming out

Trumbull HS is the only line Bob mentioned. They were at the clinic last month
in Ramsey. He feels more will be active towards April, probably concert class.

The old story went somewhat along the lines of George B. getting the name from
the movie "Charge of the Light Brigade". Is this true or not?
I believe that he was on their percusion staff in the late 70's.

Also, Ed McMahon marched with the Defenders (Massachusetts) in the '40's.
He played baritone and once brought it onto the Tonight show, talked about

Pat Metheny and some members of his original band were members of
their High School Band. Pat was originally a trumpet player. His brother
taught him how to play, and has released several albums of his own on
trumpet. Anyway, this is an interesting quote I found from Pat Metheny
about his "bando" days.
"All of us definitely spent our Friday nights out on the football field
marching
around with instruments. I played french horn up until I got out of high
school
'cause I needed those credits to graduate. I remember I used to have to play
the halftime show in order to get my credit, then I'd race into Kansas City
to
make my gig, still in my marching band uniform, switch clothes, and go play
in this organ trio.”
Now people know where his song "Forward March" came from. By the way,
if anyone has never heard that song, they should check it out. It's a riot.

St Catherine's Chessmen [if we're talking about the same corps]. They,
by the way, bought the PR's old uniforms back in the mid to late 60s.
I remember seeing a photo of them in Drum Corps Digest, and when I got
on with PR in '72 noted it was the same uniform... the '72 PR uniforms
being new copies of the old.
Consequently, there was at least a couple years back then when you
could have seen two different corps wearing the same design uniforms
at the same show.

>St Catherine's Chessmen [if we're talking about the same corps].
OK. Now, I was talking to Al Murray from Dynasty, and Al said that a friend of
his told him he marched with Neil in St Catherine's. They ran into Neil one
night, and that was one of the topics of discussion.
Any confirmations coming out there?

In 1985 or 86 (I can't remember right now) I was fortunate enough to attend
a rare Neil Peart drum clinic in Fort Wayne, Indiana. My brother had the
opportunity to ask Neil if he had ever marched with a corps. He said
something to the effect of "No, but a lot of people think I did because of
my strong rudimental background" (this is not a literal quote from him,
just a summary of his answer). So, the definitive answer, straight from the
horse's mouth is no, Neil Peart never marched in a Drum and Bugle Corps.

This is true. Peart was to busy in the late 60's playing in area bands in St
Catherine's
After she marched in Avatar, an independent guard in SoCal. He would come to
the shows, but I had a hard time seeing the floor for the glare off his head!
