Steve,

I TRY to forget parades...except in the Cadets, because that was most of what you did, and ANY performance was fun, especially if the 'A' corps was also there.

But corn dogs at the fairs, THAT'S another story! Couldn't get enough of those!

What did you do in the Corps? Snare, Drum Major, Drum Instructor/Arranger

What years were you a Corps member? 1970-73; 78-79

Bob, I thought you were too busy picking up girls from other corps to notice the food. The best food I found was Momence. But I usually stuck to the Funnel cakes.
