This is directly related to the post I just did. I though I'd go into more detail on these guys. In honor of my dad is why I'm doing posts on this stuff. If he were still alive, he could go on and on about some of the stuff that happened when he went on these trips to other places. Like one time, he was telling us about this friend of his, Bob Berenger, who was in the corps with him, who was laying on a bed in one of the rooms where my dad's drum groups was staying, and he was practically naked except for a jock strap and everyone was saying ewww and everything. And another time when they stopped to gas up the bus at a gas station and it was next to a McDonalds, how when the teachers looked, all the guys suddenly flocked to the McDonalds like ants. He could crack me and my sister up telling us about some of the stuff he did.
His 2 favorite groups were Santa Clara Vanguard and Phantom Regiment. I actually seen these guys live. Back in like 2003 or 2004, me, my dad and sister went up to Indianapolis for the DCI World Championships. These 2 groups were there, along with Carolina Crown. And most of them did what lokoed like more acting than drumming. My dad says it just isn't the same. But he loved the show and we had a killer view. It was in the RCS Dome where the Indy Colts play and we had seats right on the 50 yard line, so we had a killer view!!
