As a member of the Yankee Rebels Alumni Drum and Bugle Corps, I take exception to the comments made by "lothy59". Our Corps is open to ANYONE who desires to enjoy the "old style" drum and bugle corps activity. Members of all races, religions and ethnic backgrounds perform with us, and all who are interested are welcome to join our ranks. If there are any questions whatsoever regarding this point, please let me know. Contact me here. I'll give you information about joining our Corps. Thanks.
Well, I don't know anything about how the YR Alumni Corps operates, but when I marched with the Yankee Rebels in 1975 and 1976 (in the mellophone section), black people were definitely not welcome. Neither were women. So, sadly, YR was definitely racist and sexist during their "glory years." And if you were affliated with the corps during the '60's and '70's you know very well that's the truth.
kicked the afro americans out.. corp folded.. then made a comeback.. still no afro americans .. they are a racist corp that i will never follow again.. sorry
Hi there lilmissmusikerin, im an avid fan of the Yankee Rebels, is this vid their reunion? Its been so long that i didnt hear about them. I love their version of the Battle Hymn of the Republic, actually im a Drum Major here in the Philippines. We went to competition way back 1990-91, battle hymn was always our finale from yankees, and we won. By the way are you a fan or a member? tanx again.
