"I played soprano in the Watkins Glen Squires 1970-74, Rochester Crusaders, 1984-86, but I did not see the light until I played mellophone in Cru. in 1991-92.  I had the oppotunity to play the greatest mellophone chart of all time "Channel One Suite"."

"All hail to the Mellophone gods ( that would be us :-) )!
I started playing mid-voice in the 1968 Racine Jr. Scouts
(mellophones were barely invented then, so I played the next
best thing... French Horn Bugle). By 1971 I was playing mello
with the Chrome Domes (the first year that they marched them)
I marched mello for 8 years in the Boys of 76 Senior corps,
and have played mello with the Kilties Sr. since 1993. I am
the only mellophone that I know of that has played mellophone
bugle with a country and western band (really :-))."

"I'm originally a trumpet player, and played soprano in the Bridgemen (1987)...I should get an award for that accomplishment alone!  In 1990, I joined the Crossmen and played 2nd mello in a great mellophone line.  Just listen to us play the melody in Barogue Samba after the samba kicks in...TIGHT!!!  I switched to soprano in 1991 (mostly to prepare myself for being a music major in the fall on trumpet).  I NEVER should have played sop...I hated it.  I then realized that the mellophone is the instrument of the Gods, the one true stud instrument in drum corps, and made a triumphant return in 1992.  I got to age-out in a great mellophone line which firmly cemented me as a mello player 4 life!  I was also a marching tech for the mellophones in the 1996 Jersey Surf and the 1997 Crossmen."
