Anyone remember when we played on a ferries wheel?

Where was it at ?

Re: Anyone remember when we played on a ferries wheel?

Jeff,

I don't remember that one, which leads me to think it was 72? I went up to the A corps that year, but Steve was still in the Cadets and Dad was managing. I hope someone remembers the details!

Re: Anyone remember when we played on a ferries wheel?

It was after some parade
We all got on the ferries wheel except the contras and drum line and started playing
I don’t remember the parade or the song we played

I think it was the A corp but not sure

Re: Anyone remember when we played on a ferries wheel?

If there were contras around, it was definitely the A corps. I didn't know you ever marched in the A corps. I only remember you from the Cadets.

Yes
2 or 3 years not sure in the A corp.
One year my brother was the horn instructor
and your brother march with me.

Re: Anyone remember when we played on a ferries wheel?

That had to have been 1973, because it was the only year Steve marched in the A corps. And speaking of Steve, today would have been his 48th birthday.

That would be a great picture to add to the Photo page!

Re: Anyone remember when we played on a ferries wheel?

Just think how many GREAT pictures we could have had of things like that, but nobody ever thought to take one (or had a camera)! We were too young to consider ever "looking back".

Maybe someone’s mom or dad has good pictures stored in a dusty old photo album

Re: Anyone remember when we played on a ferries wheel?

I remember watching the A corps play on a ferris wheel when I was in the cadets (74-75). I believe it was a carnival at the Skokie Post.
