Chris..thanks for sharing the peerade pics! ..the view from the stands looked great.. this time. B)

...tryouts really didn't exist back when drum corps were mostly locally based... DCI was still a true youth activity back in those early days. 'nough said

..when you carry one for a full season you can spell it anyway you want. TYMP! B)... besides that's how Ludwig spelled their "Marching Tympani" Drum Corps History 101

....my back still hurts from the '70 season on the 23" Tymp... ahhh.. fond memories or jr. corps.

Fran..nice touch to an otherwise disappointing, cancelled show situation. Thanks for making me hungry..... ^_^ Looking forward to DCA Weekend!

My horn is Crunch the Mellow Line as a whole ref. my Avatar...... the humble lead Mellows are called (by esp the baris) "Blat Weasles"...thank you.. -

....this guy Jeff can play! b**bs Hope you are doin' well..If you have the time..stop in at Gilmore next sat. and check out our '03 hornline. Nice sounds coming from our rejuvinated corps. hope to cya...

practice, practice,practice --- but practice smart.

yeah...to what JC said.....

wonder who the proud owner of this Quillo is...... Ok ,it's me folks. Great job Brad!!! The "Mailman" just dropped it off. I'm going to spred it out and adorn it with my Kiltie plaid , broach, tam and put a pic of it up tomorrow. Thanks agaiin and good luck with SCV.

very cool! I just sent you a personal email asking for more details. My wife thought it was a great idea.

That green slime is actually ...lung tissue...it's that warm air affect. kiddin' I use: soap, hot water, horn snake, cue tips and Wright's Polish.

I don't really see "different marching styles". It looks more like a lack of uniformity of step and toe height. In other words, the style looks the same, they just didn't execute it together. ..good point..I concur .. still luv those Madison Scouts! Scouts = Excitement... what a novel concept $$.

Frank an Pooh...decibel meter..."Loud IS Good"!! :o Too bad Lothar is a Mellow player...what a 3some that would be. cya there Aldo (loud but controlled mellow) B)

Nice review Bill....gotta luv you yoopers! Plaidly, Aldo (Lower Mich Troll '68-'72 Marauders) '70 VFW State Champs..ummm

Your review sound's like a weak spin off from a "Mad TV" skit ....but at least you're callin' like you see and hear it. From what I'm reading in it sounds like the Glassmen are keeping their infamous title of being the "most talented boring corps" of the year award..again. Shame, guess I'll judge for myself this friday at the Jennison show. Hope your wrong........ Aldo

Yeah..They'll be a gas!! "Real Drum Corps" Aldo

...and to think I missed all that JAZZ 'cause I had to work..I must of missed the boat. Carferry that is. Nice reviews all. Plaidly, Aldo :(
