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...

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
