  • I marched tenors for Float. The bes experience a drummer could ask for.

  • SICK!!

  • ☻/ Copy and Paste

    /▌ This picture to let

    / \ Bob take over the world!

  • Yes, I played tenors in 80 and 81. I was fortunate to be the right age in the right place at the right time to get to be in Tom's lines. He and Mike are great teachers. If you are on facebook, do a facebook search for Tom Float drummers -- I started a group that has lots of pictures of Tom -- including a couple with Mike in them.

  • yeah, i know mike's history... he is a friend of mine... you played tenors in spirit?

  • Yep, Catherine was a mallet player in the 1980 Spirit line.

  • Mike aged out in 79, but he was my tenor instructor in 1980 and 81 Spirit. Then he took over as caption head when Tom left for BD in 82.

  • also Mike Back obviously...

  • well DCI at the time was probably more old school and "if it aint broke, dont fix it"... they had been beefing up bridgemen so much, they were fixated... not taking anything away from Bayonne, but that Float style in Spirit, in my opinion, was much much better...Cathy was a member of that line, was she not? her age out?

  • We did have a tenth more in drumming execution in 80, and the Bridgemen had a tenth more in percussion analysis -- so we tied. DCI broke the tie with percussion G.E. (part of a different caption) and gave the trophy to the Bridgemen. Finally, after many, many years, DCI acknowledged the tie -- the intro of the DVD finals series has the commentators talking about how five corps shared the four captions that year. But, I'm sure they never sent Float a trophy -- they should have.
