Tuesday Trivia - September 4, 2007

This week's Tuesday Trivia is something just about anyone who ever marched with the Saints should be able to answer, at least in part. First, last week's questions and answers:

  • What was the Saints Spring Festival of N.O.I.S.E?
    A member-run individuals / quartet competition (rifle, sabre, horns, drums)
  • Where was the first one held?
    Our Lady of Peace School Cafeteria
  • How many times was it held?
    Twice
  • What did N.O.I.S.E. stand for?
    No one individual sounds ensemble ... we actually came up with NOISE before we had a meaning for it.

We had one contestant, and one winner ... Jackie Bodzas's response was:

  • N.O.I.S.E. - No One Individual Sounds Ensemble
    (Although I always thought it should stand for: No One Individual Sounds Equal)
  • It was an individual and quartet competition for Horn/Drum/Harmonica/Rifle/Saber
  • was at Our Lady Of Peace Church Cafeteria on April 20,1974
  • I think there was only one held.

Jackie, you were close -- the second one was held in 1975 ... do you still have the sample score sheets for the harmonica competition?

This week's Tuesday Trivia ... while mostly everyone should get at least some of the questions right, there's enough of an additional challenge for our veteran Tuesday Trivia competitors!

The weekend after Labor Day was, back when we marched together, the end of the summer season for corps in NJ. The question, in nine parts:

  • Part 1: In what city were the competitions held?
  • Part 2: What was the name of the field where the competitions were held?
  • Part 3: What two field competitions were held that weekend?
  • Part 4: Who was the weekend's sponsor?
  • Part 5: Who was our first sponsor?
  • Part 6: Who was our last sponsor?
  • Part 7: What were you required to do on Saturday afternoon?
  • Part 8: Besides the reviewing stand, what was one required "stop and play" location for the parade?
  • Part 9: Where did most of us go on Saturday evening?

Send your responses by Monday, September 10th, to joparente.saintsdrumcorps@gmail.com. PLEASE use Trivia in the subject line ... thanks!

All for now -- corpsdially yours from jo!
