Wow!! You've done it again, Ron. "Speak Low," "Tropical Heat Wave," "Shuffle Off to Buffalo" Such memories!!! Thanks.

I have never forgotten this album and over the many years since last listening to this album I still break into whistling "shuffle off to buffalo" – that is the impression this corps had on me. I am in my sixties and still active in drum corps – thats the impression drum corps has had on me (ps my wife thinks I am nuts). Thank you for bringing back these memories.
