Hey Tekneek, The problem has been fixed and our web host is taking a deeper dive as to how this occurred. Thank you again for the heads up!

See you all there!

Well, all I can say is that this past weekend in Hawthorne was fantastic! I look forward seeing everyone again at the December camp. Buffy, it great catching up with you, even if it was only for a short while! Jack, after 12 seasons of drum corps, I feel old even though I haven't reached 30 years of age, lol! See you at the next rehearsal.

It's amazing how fast time passes between seasons. Looking forward to seeing everyone this weekend!

@Androidx2 What Empire did during our encore was without a doubt 100% classy!

Heard great things about this past weekend!

I've been hearing nothing but great things from the Hawthorne camp! I'm pushing to see everyone next camp in Blairstown.

Missed you guys too, but I got held up on the home front. See you guys soon.

Have a great weekend! Looking to stop by and see everyone this weekend.

Have a great weekend! See you guys soon. Let's go Giants!

Can't wait to kick off the 2011 DCA season down in Wildwood. See everyone Friday night.

Will see you guys tomorrow night after work!

It sure was a great weekend. I'm looking forward towards the final march towards Wildwood (no pun intended). I look forward to seeing everyone up in Hudson. Peace.

What a great weekend! The corps really made some big strides. I look forward to seeing everyone again on Saturday!
