Hey Gold, love the list and history lesson. I marched Bleu Raeders in seventies. I don't agree with the rankings but who cares...lol. If we all made rank lists, they would all be different!!!

[goldsmith1210]

@phantommp5 Amen man! I appreciate your honesty. And you're polite about it to boot!

Holy balls - are those contrabass bugles playing at 2:32? They sounds nothing like tubas, that's for sure.

Cool! We (BD) stayed at the same school as the Muchacho's once ('75 or '76 I think). I remember that particular night our food guy found a GREAT buy on lobster, so we had lobster, corn, and bread for dinner. The Muchacho's were eating PB&J for dinner, and there jaws hit the floor when they saw what we were eating!

the muchachos were always a top 5 corp

Almost as retarded as an entire section of so-called "marching" group doing a standstill on sideline looks to us old timers. It's like football players playing from the bench. Sorry, this one-time tympani soloist says "either march or get off my field!" What can I say... I marched when men were men and percussion didn't need training wheels and microphones. AAAUUUGH! ::politically incorrect rant mode off::

[DaddyOsInk]

and the new kids say that you cannot play a bugle in tune......... i call bullshit

Are there any audio or video recordings of any kind, available for the 1974 and especially 1975 Muchachos shows? I'd LOVE LOVE LOVE to get them.

Write me at LilAbner underscore 45 at yahoo dot com PLEASE!

I marched in the Muchachos one year only, in 1975 on mellophone, after having played with Santa Clara earlier. After what happened at Nationals in Philadelphia, I never thought I'd hear this music again. It's a GREAT thing to hear! They had a good hormn line, a fantastic soloist (Jeff Kievit), and an incredible drum line. I saw the drum sheet after one show where the judge had given them a total of THREE ticks for the entire show. Across the bottom he wrote, "I am going to retire."

My uncle, Bob Kirsch, played French Horn, and it was always great to go each summer to Clifton, NJ High School Field and watch the competitions. Got to be a runner for judges on the field and that was a TREAT to be that up close!

Why did the Muchachos get disqualified for overage members in '72, when it was SO OBVIOUS Corps like the Racine Kilties, Royal Aires, Chicago Vanguard and others did as well a few years before...... THEY never got disqualified? 

[MrSatch49]

As much as I have enjoyed reliving the past w/these corps, Muchachos 49th? Are you out of your mind? Top three, if not better!
