All of the photographs on this website are used with permission. I have taken the time to create a permanent tribute page to Moe Knox, long-time drum corps photographer who deserves to be recognized for his work by being inducted into the World Drum Corps Hall of Fame. He is being denied entry because he made money selling us his photos, or to put it another way, he has "profited" from his involvement in the activity. This is ridiculous because every music arranger in the activity also makes money selling their arrangements, drill writers make money selling their drills and instructors all get paid. Many of them are in the World Drum Corps Hall of Fame. So I have joined with many of the other drum corps historical tribute websites and have placed a permanent tribute page here as a tribute to Moe Knox. We currently enjoy many of Moe Knox's photos on this website and thank him for helping to preserve the history of Racine's drum and bugle corps with his wonderful photographs. So, please visit this tribute page at the following link... MOE KNOX TRIBUTE PAGE I have recently been in contact with Bruce McCrea who has two very interesting webpages concerning the history of American Boy Scout Bugles and the history of the Boy Scout Bugling Merit Badge. He has written two very detailed and well researched articles that can be visited at the following links... History of American Boy Scout Bugles History of the Boy Scout Bugling Merit Badge |
