You sound a lot like me having a profound love of history.

Some photos are great because they are technically great, color, contrast, subject, etc. Then some photos are great because they capture a moment in history.

What a great moment in drum corps history someone captured.

I hope I cleaned up 1974 for you just a bit.

Thanks Dave!

I couldn't post it because it was too large for my usual, but I figured when you get some time you could put it on your Photobucket side-by-side with the other one and let people comment whether they like the original or the enhanced version.

In any case, it's all good.

Wow for some reason I seem to have blocked out the Slingerland year(s)!

Was it just 75? That's why all those TDR's were floating around in 76. Dang I should have bought one instead of the Ludwig snare!

We used TDRs from and through 74 and 75. In this pic, the butt plates had not yet been updated to the newer and better version. The new version was a direct result of the boys from SC having used them and come up woth their own solution to the problem of the originals. they used the butt plates off of Ludwig drums leaving them with the problem of whether to call them Ludlands or Slingerwigs. Those guys led by recently deceased Paul Siebert were on top of things. The second version was MUCH BETTER.

WVU,

Yes, I do enjoy historym much more so now than when I was in school sadly. And, you are right about what makes a photograph outstanding. The one of Santa Clara exiting the field, was taken by my mom. She realized the gravity of the event, the historocity of the moment and was very insightful in taking this picture. It was as big of a day for her as it was for me. Later in the Summer, she went on her one and only tour with the corps as a cook. Of all the pictures I have, this ONE is probably the one with the biggest story behind it.
