Two Edmonton kids, a drum and bugle corps, and the worst-kept secret about why anyone joins a marching band in the first place.
In 1974, Dave and Bryan Goulet joined the Edmonton Drum and Bugle Corps. The reasons behind their newfound love of bugles and marching bands were plentiful.
You see, when Bryan and David heard — and saw — Jeffery Scott the First walking down 74th Street in Edmonton, Alberta, the first thing that crossed both of their minds was: what is this? Rosenburger, with a brand new baritone he could barely play a note on if his life depended on it.
The question from the other two Jeffery Scotts was direct: "What are you doing, mon?" Rosenburger explained he'd just joined the Edmonton Drum and Bugle Corps. The next question came just as fast: "Do you mean to tell us they let you in? Why on earth would you, of all people, join this band?"
"There's 85 chicks in the band and only 35 guys." — Rosenburger, explaining everything
Bryan and David joined straight away. Their parents were blown away by their sudden, all-consuming love of marching bands and bugles — and that's how the Jeffery Scott the Third show got its name.
Rosenburger, Goulet and Solkowski — about to light the world of city parades in America on fire, on behalf of every 12-to-15-year-old in Edmonton.
"Every good show starts with a bad reason for joining something. This one just happened to stick."
