This is not a drum corps posting, but I am trying to reach out to the drum corps community to ask for help for a small community in upstate New York that was devastated by Hurricane Irene - Prattsville, New York. Winter is coming, and the need for help - volunteers and supplies - is still very great.

But the need for volunteers is still far from over. As the town transitions into the rebuilding phase, skilled laborers and tradesmen such carpenters, electricians, plumbers will be sorely needed to bring the town back to life. “We still need volunteers,” he noted. “It’s still all hands on deck.” To volunteer or otherwise donate good and services, the recovery center can be contacted at 347-633-1536 or 347-782-2667.

IS that Finals? I Could not find the scores on the DCUK page Thanks, Dorene

Wow . . . I am glad that no one got hurt. On Sunday, the ride back east on the Thruway was frought with torrential rain, winds, and even a Tornado caught by someone on YouTube Some of our upstate crew got caught up in the same storm. Hope things work out and that the insurance helps you replace equipment and trailer.

Thanks to everyone for giving us the play by play, for providing pictures and offering streaming video of Prelims and Finals!!!!

Just gonna say that . . . but there were other discussions here, too. Back to the play by play.

Sorry for the misunderstanding, not rephrasing .. . you kept saying something about members being with a corps the entire year. That is why I wondered.

So you are against members of DCI corps coming back after DCI to march in DCA corps? Should there be a mandatory cut-off date for membership in DCA corps or should DCA corps stop recruiting at a certain point? Just extrapolating and wondering.

This link not working, FYI.

THANKS!!!

Is this Ben Kennedy from Anchormen? If so, hello!

Kudos also to the support staff, the kitchen crew - all of whom worked tirelessly all day during the event!
