Hi... The Big weekend is near and would like to know some information so we can plan our time.... Thursday night at the Dock... I think it starts at 5PM, does anyone have the official announcement of the line up, and what time it should wrap up...... Friday night, I & E with the minis... Got that information off the DCA website Saturday Prelims…. Starts at 2PM, Lineup and times posted anywhere…. Sunday, The Alumni Spectacular Starts at 10AM, Lineup and times posted anywhere…. Sunday, DCA World Championship Finals Starts at 5PM, Has the schedule been posted anywhere….. Like when does the first competing corps go off and what about any the exhibition corps (if any) times Past years there was spreadsheets about the corps practice areas and housing, is that been posted anywhere…. Is it to early but if any of the above is on the DCA site, beside I & E, please point out the urls because I can’t find it…. Now if any locals can point out some new or great restaurants (mostly Italian) I would in debit to them… Last year there was some great information posted about Annaplis on DCP, I just don't know how to find it... Thanks and safe travel for everyone.... Pete

A very nice way to explain back in 50’s and 60’s drum Corps with getting anyones feathers in a ruff… Pete

Thanks, we should be seeing something soon then..... Also has anyone seen a lineup for the Thursday Night on the Dock Pete

The mini sign up has past the June 1st date, can we find out who is coming.. I for like to know this info so I can decide if it worth my money to be in Annapolis Thursday and Friday night. Thanks, Pete

Steel City Ambassadors Alumni Sacramento Freelancers Alumni Florida Brass Alumni Toronto Optimists Alumni Blessed Sacrament Golden Knights Preston Scout House Alumni Band Reilly Raiders New York Skyliners Alumni Park City Pride Bayonne Bridgemen Alumni Hawthorne Caballeros Alumni These are corps listed on the DCA site, I am not sure if this will be the order..... One thing I heard in Kingston that Park City is not coming down for the show.. Does any one no for sure, if so, DCA should take the name down.... Pete

is there an after show party...if so where....

Maybe Jeff or you can help.. Is there on street parking down near the Dock area and if so is it metered. What is the price and time period (free weekends?, after 6PM? etc) you have to pay. Thanks this has been a very helpfull topic.....

With the death of Father Jim this pass year, I was wondering if the Hall of Fame is having the memorial mass this year. I have been able to stay at the DCA headquarter's hotel these past few years and was able to make it. This year the Westin is just to pricey, so before I drive in would like some info.. Thanks, Pete

So Fran what time does the mini show start ?? pete

Just got my VIP parking... Does anyone have some info on the lots and gates we should use Thanks, Pete

Great information... Any more coming from the people that know Annapolis.... thanks Pete

you must be kidding that could never happen Pete

Thanks Jeff and Andy....

Thanks Spandy....

Sorry, this is no help, can not read it.. Pete

Does DCA have a list of practice sites? Thanks...

At one time I saw a line up for this exhibition on the DCA site now it just has one line about it…. Who will appear, where is it being held, what kind of venue (need to bring chairs) and were do you park….. Thanks, Pete

Thanks for the replies..... Pete

It been a long time from last time I was at Kennedy....late 60's... Maybe Ace or Andy can answer a few questions.... Where do you park and the best street to get there.... Any restaurants (Italian ?) in walking distance from parking lots and will be open around 3PM... Is it safe to walk around this area.... Thanks, Pete

I know there was problems in the past but is Hershey out of the question....

WOW… Big surprise, no response to this announcement….. Granted in was getting old in Rochester, to many years in a row…. and did need a change, but it is going to very hard to beat such a Corps friendly city. I am looking forward to the next two years in Annapolis and I know it will be a change of pace….. Where will it go after 2013… Any place you would like to see… My bet it will be back in Rochester….. Pete

I was a regular at SIB show… Got know Harrisburg pretty well… A few questions about York and the show... Are the seats reserved or are they general admission….. Is it an auditorium with a stage or will it be a gym….. How far is the Yorktowne hotel to the school…. Is there a hotel where most of the corps are staying… Any good restaurants in walking distance from the hotel.. Also a good restaurant that serves later on Saturday night after the show…. Is there going to an after show party any place.. Thanks Pete

Yes nice Hotel but at $242.00 a night.... I hope DCA got a big break or the tickets to future shows will be going up.... Pete

Looking foward to the Plymouth weekend this year again but I am sorry to see that BS Golden Knights are not scheduled this year. I believe this has to be the first time they will not be at the show that started in the 90's. They even came to the show when it was in Boston one year. I think each year they even serenaded a family in a house in Plymouth when they lined up for the parade, used to know the story behind that but I forgot.. Also miss the Conn Alumini Drum and Bugle corp that used to be at this show. One of the few times you could see this corps. Pete

Will DCA be posting Rehearsel sites and Hotels sites this year ? Pete
