I was a member of the 1953 California State Champion Military Drill Team. The Civilian State Champion Drill Team that year was "The Spanish Town Dons" They were spectacular. So were we. I marched in 39 performances all over northern California and we flew to the Texas State Fair at Dallas and gave a performance outside the Cotton Bowl on the day Oklahoma played Texas in the big football game of the year. That year the drill team won 26 first places out of 27 with All American Judges. I had my blue and gold Jacket for many years and still have the emblem that was sewn on it. I am 77 years old now but can still remember many of the songs we sang on the bus.
