What have you done to earn your stripes in the KISS ARMY... how have you shown your support for KISS?

Here are photos of what I believe is Winnipeg's first ever KISS tribute band!! Back in 1977 myself and three school friends who were forming a band at the time, decided to do a KISS tribute show around Halloween that year, at our local community centre. We made the armour in metal shop, added bigger platforms to our shoes in woodshop, and I even made a break apart Flying V guitar to smash! Our teachers thought we were crazy!! Anyways the show was great! We had an audience of about 50 kids and had an absolute blast, we spent time signing autographs afterwards! It was an incredible night, and still is a great memory from my teenage years. The photos are pre and post show, unfortunately none of the show's photos turned out. The band never went anywhere, but two of us still keep in touch now thirty years later! I still have my Flying V that's in the pictures too!
