1988 Madison Scouts in England - Rain - Part 1

[neilyvanneily]

Seven man pit, and those guys CARRIED the opener!

[MarlouieIMPACTDC]

Is there no yard line and hashes?

[skurtzweil]

No yard lines. We were on a soccer field in England. I think we may have had yard markers on the front sideline but otherwise read the forms and the stadium. 

[TheJDeaux]

@skurtzweil Damn, no yard lines ALWAYS sucks! There's no way to check your work! LOL! Did a TRACK show on a BASEBALL field in high school (1987, I believe)...OY!

[rainbowkeykaraoke]

@skurtzweil I remember using soprano cases as yard markers in Germany.

In 97 sunrisers played a showed which i think was influenced by this show, they also played Strawberry soup. I thought Sunrisers were great, however I played pit at Anchormen that yr and did tell anyone that i liked Srisers. Madison are awesome too.:O)

I was there as a young lad just starting out in BYBA, Influenced me for my many years ahead, Now living in Australia, all i can do is rely on Youtube.

Great show !!! I marched at the same event with the PRIDE OF BRISTOL DRUM CORPS , would be good to see if anyone has a video of that performance .

[daveyboygee]

I was a Scouts soprano in this show. Can you guys tell me which city it was? I'm killing myself trying to remember but I think it was Leeds.

It's London Bridges. We were playing up to the audience.
