"St. Paul Scouts
Many people were surprised to see the great improvement of the St. Paul Scouts in 1969. Corps who had been rivals the year before were suddenly fifteen points behind and the top corps in the country only a few points ahead of them. But the change in St. Paul was not really so sudden.
The rise of the Scouts actually began in 1967 when a loss of members and instructors, piled on top of sponsor problems, threatened to fold the corps. The members took it upon themselves to form a small, close-knit unit, with each one helping the others; that became the nucleus of the corps for the season to come.
In 1968 the folding of a corps in Austin, a hundred miles to the south, brought more members to the Scouts in midseason. But more importantly, it brought Austin's horn instructor Doug Dennison, long sought-after by many corps besides St. Paul. Doug's arrangements, along with the emergence of Joe Duncan of the old "nucleus" as a top notch drum instructor, combined to give St. Paul one of the most musically sounding shows in drum corps. The loss of their M&M instructor forced the Scouts to use a stock drill last year, but Bill Maker and Tom Foe came on and did a fine job of cleaning it up.
Now, with the 1970 show almost ready, new director Sam McCormick is working to form a tight executive staff of people with drum corps experience and understanding, and is looking for new sponsors. New tymps have been purchased, and a set of new horns has been promised.
Although the hornline is hurting from the usual winter inactivity boredom, they are expected to come around as the season nears. And the drum line, together for the third year of constant practicing, may be the best in drum corps for 1970.
So don't be surprised if St. Paul becomes a power in the midwest for a long time."

To raise money in 1963, the St. Paul Scouts mounted an original play: "My Son the Pony Express Rider; or, I Don't Know What Happened to Baby Jane."
