Why Do Fans Boo

Drum Corps News Sept. 12, 1962 issue

Dear Mr. Samora,

Last Saturday, July 28, I went to a contest in Garfield, New Jersey. I enjoyed this contest very much. I thought that all the corps did very well. What I can't understand is why the spectators "booed" Blessed Sacrament when they were announced as first. I am a fan of St. Kevins, but I think that this was unsportsman like.

Also, when the National Anthem was being sung, people were talking and laughing and showed no respect for the National Anthem.

Sincerely,
Christine Gaylor
