seen-it-all Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Such a kind man and a true one-of-a-kind drum corps icon. He will be missed! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim K Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Shows in the Boston area have unique qualities, and one was Paul Cain and his famous "(Insert corps name), YOU" with an emphasis on you and often with the audience joining in and after a slight pause "may enter the field for competition." He loved drum corps, the kids involved, and his enthusiastic style was an audience favorite. Rest In Peace. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul traveled with several New England corps plus the Cadets in the early 90's and several WGI guards. He annually announced the Bristol, R. I. Fourth of July parade,. Contagious was his love for the activity and its mms, his honor for military veterans and their service, and his gregarious, humorous and inclusive hospitality for so many he met and soon made his friends. YOU, Paul, have touched so many lives. May you be blessed for your goodness. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a Massachusetts Drum Corps Hall of Famer Inductee. He was a good Man and will be missed. Condolences to his family and friends. Rest in Peace, Paul.

I had no idea who he was, but then I saw this post and memories of the one time I marched in the Beanpot Invitational came flooding back. Great announcer with a fun personality. RIP.
