What a great piece of history. I only knew Gail by name because I was with the Sunnyvale High School Marching Band 79-80. I knew guys in the Vanguard like Marc Lawrence, David Hyman, George Brown and quite a few others. The names escape me, it's been quite a few years... But they encouraged me to try out but unfortunately we moved to Texas teh next year. (Oh, and for you history buffs--I am one of the guys who stole the Blue Devils banner at that show in San Jose Spartan Stadium.) Ruben Avila
In 1977, I was suffering from a stomach virus that was going thru the Corps...and Gale Royer gave me a swig of that Brandy...and it cured my ailment! God bless Gale Royer,you will never be forgotten! Louie...2nd Sop
I think this is the only video I've ever seen of 1980 SCV, the corps that broke the symmetry barrier. Thanks for posting!

Thanks for posting this priceless piece. I marched 75-76...I forgot how beautiful some of the 76 music was. Does anybody have 76 video?
Thanks again!
