Preliminaries - August 29,1964 |
Drum
Corps fans recognize the importance of the signature song which usually
was the "off the line" or the initial song played by the Drum Corp.
The SRLAA is pleased to
present you with five of those signature songs. Two of them by St.
Lucy's Cadets who, as you are probably aware, won the National
Championship in the late sixties.
Many Imperial Lancers
Alumni marched with St. Lucy's during that time and added to their
success.
I hope you will enjoy
the music...........
Jeff
PS.......Please
indicate which version of St. Lucy's "off the line" you prefer (1968 or
1969) by posting on the bulletin board.
Whichever
year wins, I will post that year's entire repertoire for your listening
pleasure.

Thanks
to our friend Tom Doyle, I am able to present to you the entire
Woodsiders repertoire from 1962. Although Tom has provided us with all
the Woodsider years from 1959-1964 I choose 1962 because I believe the
selections of music that year were the best.
This is the year that
included "Rock a Bye Your Baby" which was one of my favorites.
To listen, click on the
picture of the Woodsider buttons.

In 1968, at the American Legion Nationals,
in New Orleans, the St. Lucy's Cadets took the big easy by storm and won
the National Championship.
Congratulations
to all of the SRL Lancers Alumni who were a part of that dream come
true.

Other Area Drum Corps from the old
neighborhood - Can you name them?

This was the Imperial
Lancers line-up in
1963.
Many of
these individuals support the SRLAA and attended the Imperial Lancers reunion
dance in 2002.
All of
the color guard still look in good enough shape to put on that old
uniform and get out there and march again.
Not to
sure of the guys though.
I'm
pretty sure if I tried to play the soprano again I would blow out a few
crowns.
