Excellent management move by Spartans and Crusaders. Local exposure, adding to the tour, and a needed jump start for all of the corps.

Yes.......Not Sweet Caroline

Chief... There was a definite upgrade to DCP when you came aboard

LAWDN....... Such a great post. lots of credit to parents helping MM's have their drumcorps experience.

I'll take the corn and beans scenary rather than check cashing shops, nail salons and used car lots 🙂

Am sure you have a full length mirror

Diesel price per gal. in 2018 2,65 per gal. Diesel price per gal in 2023 4.49 per gal The average fuel to top off tanks in a freightliner, volvo. or kenworth tractor on tour is 130 gals every 3.5 days ( this is low ball ) The cost for three tractors during a 57 day tour in 2018 for these three was roughly $ 16,716..... In 2023 with the same consumption and tour length was approx. $ 28,333 This does not take into consideration West Coast corps extended mileage to and from Cal. and Ariz. The differential would have almost paid the wages of 2 Class 'A' CDL drivers for full tour. As mentioned by others, the commercial construction of props has to be substantial also.

TLR We did what we could for the Pilot whales in the Faroes on the Barker

Nice non competitive moments for me Cavies being the Cavs.. like the show and exiting the field in style to their great street beat Cadets wearing their classic uniform to retreat . They upgraded the entire field with tradition. Scouts not making top twelve, but being very much a part of Championship night Not dragging out the scores with needless awards to commercial entities. Having the USMC playing the corps onto the field and corps carrying American, Canadian, British flags to retreat All of the corps making it a great finals regardless of their placing

Where was Dan Potter tonight ?

I think Grandpa Joe owns a campground. He has been crowing about haw great it would be for the Corps to stay in campgrounds while in Indy.

" BD fatigue " that is real... They keep winning and everyone else keeps losing. They earn all their championships because they are the best. They bring in the best mm's from wherever. Others keep losing their best mm's. They deserve all of their accolades. There is no disrespect, it is just that one cannot maintain enthusiasm and be overwhelmed by the same corps winning every year, while down in the ranks... corps wonder will it ever change and how long can they keep chasing the rabbit......

' F Troop ' Funny outrageous TV show The Cavalry and the Fugarwi Indians. Censors took it off TV

Stepping outside ? Outside of where ? Maybe you call camping towing a 35' trailer Maybe you could help by getting some platoon sized tents from government surplus and some unused M*A*S*H showers. Am sure the kids won't mind the Ticks and an occasional rattlesnake bite

The same way bacon relates to eggs
