I remember this show well. I was 10 going on 11 and was a soprano with the SI Lawmen. This was our first show as new members of the Greater NY Circuit. Not an auspicious start. I remember watching the Skyliners in exhibition with father (Skyliner charter member/Lawmen instructor). As we were marching off after retreat, a tremendous fight broke out on the field between OLPH and the Jersey Cyclones. It took a while to break it up. I remeber thinking, we are really in the big time now.
Just like ananomous, I remember this incident as well as I was a member of one of the competing corps that evening and just like anonymous this was my first m@m show as well.
