Ron, We got our rack setup last week and got to use it this weekend at our first DCI exhibition this year. The rack is working out great... it breaks down nice and easy and it's very compact when folded up and fits in our small trailer nicely. We'll probably re-configure the setup some but we've got plenty of room to get it set up exactly the way we want. Thanks, Dave Manchester Muchachos

Please help the Muchachos win this contest for NH Non-Profits. Click this link and it will take you to Facebook http://bit.ly/MuchachosTDMP you can delete the app once your done voting. Contest ends tomorrow... we can't believe with all the drum corps supporters out there we can't get even 500 votes... we're in second place by about 130 votes... the leader has just over 400 If you've ever asked yourself why local drum corps aren't around anymore... only 286 votes?... come on fans help this corps out. Thanks, Dave

The Muchachos are looking to buy a field rack for a set of bells and extra drums and cymbals. If anyone is looking to get rid of one please PM me with some info. Thanks, Dave

The Manchester, NH show has been very successful for the last several years, with about 5 OC corps. Granted we're lucky in that we've have a few New England based corps. Last year we added exhibition units to top things off (St. Kevin's last year then Mass Brass & BAC Sr this year) along with the Mucahchos. We have a good fan base and we like giving the OC a good place to do their thing and a place for all age/Sr exhibition groups to show their stuff too.

And I believe some of it got put back on the new field on the 3rd. ;-) Dave

I honestly have no idea. If I was betting I'd guess it might have to do with the fact that their show date actually moved to this Friday and maybe they couldn't get the field in Brockton for the new date?

Yes! July 16 - Bridgewater, MA July 17 - Groton, CT July 18 - Manchester, NH Please come out and support these fine corps. Thanks, Dave

Thanks Steve... And we will be at several DCI shows this year including the Beanpot Invitational... As to your original question... I grew up in Keene, NH and there hadn't been any corps in the SE part of VT from 1980 on. I'm sure if you go back far enough you might find one from Brattleboro or something. There were a lot across the border in MA and NH though. PM me if you want more info. Dave

As always Tom... you are very helpful. Now we know. Thanks, Dave

Tom, Maybe you can explain how one gets into the Alumni portion of the show at DCA's. Thanks, Dave

Thanks Russ... Looks like you're not in the area anymore... too bad we could use another Bari. Dave

Check it out. www.muchachos.org Enjoy! Thanks!
