Tenth “Rotary Music Festival” a near sell-out in Cedarburg
July 3, 2009 – Cedarburg, WI . . . I’ve been attending this show for most of the last decade and marvel every year at how well-run it is and the consistently growing audience that attends. Tonight the Phantom Regiment easily topped the four-corps World Class competition and Capital Regiment led four other Open Class groups.
The stadium at Cedarburg High School holds 1,700 and I’m sure almost everyone of them was filled on this perfect night for a drum corps contest. Organizer Layton Olsen and his son Ryan have a Rotary Club membership of well over 50 who keep the festivities moving like clockwork and I think this is one of the strongest line-ups of corps they’ve ever presented.

“Spectacle of Music” showcases seven World and Open DCI corps on July 1
July 1, 2009 – South Milwaukee, WI . . . The Madison Scouts have taken on a second show and this one occurred only three days after the traditional “Drums On Parade” on Sunday. They had only 90 days to pull this project off and, from all indications, it was relatively successful. Spirit from Jacksonville, AL, topped the roster with an enthusiastic rock music show.

AmericaFest of fizzle?
July 4th festivities called “AmericaFest” at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, CA, seemed like a great idea. I was excited. Drum corps, fireworks, good food, good drinks and several thousand people, perfect!
Well . . . maybe not for drum corps fans.
This show brought out some the best of Los Angeles -- Congressmen, television personalities, movie stars, lots of military veterans and even DCI Executive Director Dan Acheson and DCI’s Field Pass commentator, Dan Potter.

Large crowd gets evening of entertainment at Madison Scouts’ “Drums On Parade”
June 28, 2008 – Middleton, WI . . . The Scouts seemed to have been “adopted” by the Madison suburb of Middleton, as they staged another very successful event at Breitenbach Stadium. Perhaps because of the rainout the evening before in Naperville, IL, fans nearly filled the venue that seats roughly 1,500. It was a perfect night for a show and the Phantom Regiment easily lead the list of seven DCI competitors. |

Connecticut Hurricanes victorious at "Barnum Festival"
June 27, 2009 – Bridgeport, CT . . . Twenty-seven years is a long time to wait for anything, but tonight the Connecticut Hurricanes’ long wait is over as they took first place honors at "Champions on Parade." The event was sponsored by the “Barnum Festival” committee, with fellow DCW staff writer "Ace” Holleran serving as emcee. The weather conditions were ideal and Kennedy Stadium was filled with fans who gave each corps in competition and exhibition their fullest attention and vocal support.
