Who cares about any of these things being said? This thread is just plain stupid.... 1. Mini corps is a competition. Let us compete. 2. Mini corps is scored on DCA GE sheets, obviously implying an entertainment aspect. Let us entertain. Just leave it at that and everything works. Timmy

Pioneer doesn't only get members from South Africa, but from Japan, England, and even Mexico for the past couple of seasons... And they are all excellent students!

You're fired

Yes, I did march with Magic in 2006... Unfortunately they folded soon after.

Thanks for the kind words and recognition. I am very excited to start working with this group. The young staff has extraordinary talent which should lead the White Sabers up the ladder in the ranks of DCA.... Good Stuff!

Today is Donny Allen's birthday. Happy birthday Dad!

Promises to be a great event, and for a magnificent cause!
