It was wickedly hot, but I still drove down to that little town and sat in the stand and took away memories. This show in particular I remember this because of the lowest score I've ever seen (by a small corps judged on a big scoresheet), the corps I could have been on the field with (and my best friend was), pews on the field, and a (perceptively) first class tractor trailer.
All the corps from that night are gone now, but I have not forgotten. It is a loss. Drum corps season must be near again, because memories are flooding back.

Dude -
Love the drum corps stuff. I also love the fact that you've linked to my site, which is really cool. Also your taste in drum corps works well *cough* PHANTOM *cough* *cough*
Long story short. Not only do I run the site in the memory of Lone Star, but I have become the de facto historian for Texas drum corps.
Any info you can provide on this subject would be most helpful. A scan of that show program with the Alamo Marksmen would be super great. There are a number of Texas drum corps that people think never existed and the Marksmen were one of them. I would like to change those perceptions.
Any info can be sent to cdchenault@hotmail.com.
Thanks a bunch
