Good friends, good competition, good times for all. It has always been a GREAT afternoon for ALL drum corps folks. Come on down and share your war stories, have a beverage or three and just generally have a fun, relaxing day with old friends.

Ah yes ... my first MC gig of the year ... never fails to be a wonderful gathering of the drum corps fraternity ... and for those not familiar with the history of I&E shows of the 60's, the Metropolitan Championship show was a staple of the I&E circuit back then ... the show would run fron 2:00 in tha afternoon to 4:00 in the morning, featuring players from BS, St. Pat's, Woodsiders, Blue Rock (including Larry Kershner), CT Hurricanes and their revered drum quartet, St. Kevin's (and their revered horn quartet), Bpt. PAL, St. Raphael's, CT Royal Lancers, SI T-birds and Lawmen, St. Joe's Patron, Skyliners, Riversiders, CW Townsmen, OLPH, Bronx Kingsmen, Oceanside Legionnaires, Beth Paige Colonials, Sunrisers, Vasella, Archie, Ballentine, and many, many more ... come out and relive the past ... come out and just have a good time with all that attend ...

Andy "will MC for :beer: " Lisko

trust me ... the longer the show goes ... the more interesting the annoucing gets ...

We even had a group of Kilties come in to Staten Island for the show one year. All of the Braintree corps' sent representatives to the contest too. For a couple of years, it was THE I&E to attend. One year, the last competitor went on at 5:30 AM! And no complaints from the neighbors, IIRC. Good times indeed.
