Phantom Regiment Rehearses in Holliday
by Mike Walker Editor
The Phantom Regiment, one
of the six performers in last Friday’s
Drum Corp International show,
made a stop in Holliday on Thurs-
day, June 24 to rehearse their rou-
tine and mingle with members of the
Holliday High School Band.
The Phantom Regiment
played Friday night in Wichita Falls
at Memorial Stadium in a show called
“A Summer Night with Drums and
Bugles”.
The corps from Rockport, Illi-
nois bunked at Burkbumett High
School and made the trip to Holli-
day Thursday evening. Holliday
DCI Committee Co-Chairman Ronny
Graham said Holliday Assistant
Band director Gavin Smith worked
with the Phantom Regiment last sum-
mer and the corps requested to play
the Wichita Falls show.
The regi-
ment pulled into
Holliday Thurs-
day evening
looking like a
small convoy.
The group
members came
in four large
chartered buses
followed by a
tractor trailer carrying band equip-
ment.
After a warm up session on
the baseball field, the corps made
their way to the football field to start
their rehearsal. Their 12-hour prac-
tice days left an impression on the
corps members, each with a dark tan
from hours under the sun. The regi-
ment went over various sets and
practiced well after the sun went

Members of the Holliday

Charles Schroeder receives Life Time Achievement Award
By Abby Abernathy
The Archer County Rodeo
Association selected Charles
Schroeder of Winthorst, Texas as
their 2004 Life Time Achievement
Award winner.
Charles is a native of Archer
County and has been a member of
the Rodeo association since 1963.
On Saturday night of this
year’s rodeo Charles was honored
in a brief ceremony before the ro-
deo.
Charles recently told this re-
porter that he wasn’t really sure what
he had done to deserve a life time
achievement award and that hope-
fully his life time wasn’t over.
If you were to ask present
members of the association I think
any one of them could tell you a
number of things Charles has done
to perpetuate the Rodeo.
For instance endless hours of
welding, rebuilding and repairing the
grounds, chutes and stock pens or
all the years of running the calf rop-
ing event. Let alone his ever present
support of the contestants, espe-
cially the young ones. And, maybe
most importantly he has raised two
sons that And, maybe most impor-
tantly he has raised two sons, Bob
and Scott Schroeder that have been
more than active since childhood.
Charles spent two years as
president a one term as Vice Presi-
dent but has served of the board with
out recognition for over thirty five
years.
Serving with out recognition
speaks for itself because
there are not many if any
that have given more time
and labor to this organi-
zation.
He was recruited by
the old timers like J. B.
Maag. Jiggs Brewer and
D.E. Bratt.
Charles stated to me
that since he was a child
he had always attended
the rodeo and on several
occasion competed in the
calf roping were he at one
time he won a second
place and thirty five dol-
lars on horse he had used
all day doctoring screw
worms.
I asked Charles
about the changes he had
seen over the years and
he first commented on how tne muen
it cost to rodeo these days. “We just
rode what we had and got to the
show the best way we could. It was
an annual event and everybody
turned out for it. Today the contes-
tants have thousand of dollars tied
up in horses and rigs and the people
around have ten other things to do
in the summer time.”
He told me about the ten years
before 1998 when he traveled
around to the area ranch rodeos and
competed with his sons under the
Dick Allen’s CA Longhorn brand.
“We had a lot of fun doing that and
won quite a bit.” He started show-
Charles Schroeder sits on his horse
during the Archer City Rodeo
ing me his buckles that dated back
to 1956 and indicated that he had
just enough to give one to each of
his fourteen grandchildren.
Charles has lived his life on
good principals and tactful words.
He believes that a man should enjoy
what he does and that a man that is
five minutes early is really ten min-
utes late. .......
Charles Fred Schroeder we
salute you and thank you for all
you’ve done.
July 4th is the time to reflect and to
remember the legacy our forefather gave
us...the blessing of freedom and our
responsibility to nurture and sustain it.
Dutton Funeral Home, your local
Dignity Memorial Provider, joins with
you in honoring this freedom. Together,
may we never forget our responsibility.
