I believe they did way back when. Nothing past the 60's though.

Those look more like Cold Geese than Cold Ducks.

According to the drill team history on NYS Drill Teams. com, East Rockaway raced at the 1923 Nassau County drill with a "B-Truck". During the 60's, the team was called the "Rocks". The site does not say when the name was changed to the "Cold Ducks". You may want to check with some of the department's older members. I seem to recall seeing some pictures at Joe Miller's 50 Anni. reception.

Although they don't appear on any scorecards, I recall the "Rocks" had a C-Truck. It was an older Ford, similar to the Roosevelt Brush Rabbit's rig.  They had a very cool logo on it. It was a crazy guy in a speedboat, fitting of thier waterfront community. |

They were quite impressive at the combined 2/3/4 drill. It was the first time that I saw buckets run with bagpipe accompaniment. And what a cheering section..............................It must be that new mayor.

When I ran with the East Rockaway Main Street team in the mid 90's we also ran buckets with a bag pipe playing.

Its been a proven last-resort blessing for east rockaway buckets. It sure was awesome running with them a few weeks ago...real memorable return for the cold ducks
