I thought I had sent a reply. All sheets are left at the sign in table. this is announced several times at each venue. I dont collect them afterwards. judges are instructed to write 4 or 5 comments are their sheet. Sorry but I will try again next year to get contestants some helpful comments. I'll try and get next years info ready early but so far I haven't had a planning scession in MD, so I don't know what changes might have to be made.

Sheets are left on the registration tables for all contestants. This is announced during the contest several times. I'm sorry I don't pick them up afterward. each contestant is judged with two judgess who give one score. They are all instructed to give at least 5 helpful comments. I will demand this again next year.

I want to thank the many who help produce the I&E portion of the DCA Championship. The DCA Board led by Gil Sylva and Tom Peashey is always my backbone. The many people espcially the Hurcs Honor Guard who man each venue, My family for running the tabulation, Both the Radisson and Convention staffs, of course my Peggy who does alittle of everything, you all are un believable. To contestants who can drive me crazy during the registration period, I always forgive and thank you after your performances. The spectators thankyou so much for your response to these performers. To our beloved Donna Ernst, "Mother of the Mini". wow what an idea and what a show. I appreciate the many who give me a pat on the back and ask about my health but for every pat I get there are many who make ME happen and I want you to know they are Drum Corps people who love and advance our little part of the world. Next year new Venue but I promise same callibar show!

I'll be there with my little scooter, say hello.

My apology to Basement Brass, yes they were registered, but my cut and paste technique wasn't very good. They are a Brass Ensemble and go on at 7:30. Sept 2nd, Main Street Rochester, the place to be!

Please have someone contact me. As of now I have no applications from anyyone in your Corps.

listing the entries for I&E at this point is very useless. Last year the first week in August I had almost 60, by DCA weekend I had over 150. I never even try and figuree out how many venues I need untill the last week. Thankyou Raddison and Convention center. So if you are planning to enter get you applications in please. I have sent out over 20 mini Corps rules and packets. These were all sent to Corps who wrote me. Most have dropped by the way side, even some of our favorites can't compoete this year. Mini Corps still have time to enter. The I&E will still be a huge event. Sept 2nd, Main Street Rochester, the place to be !!!

You are beginning the games about a week early Strutta. But I did have a laugh. Sept 2, Main Street Rochester, the place to be!!!!!

Why are you all waiting untill the last minute to sign up for I&E. My data base is filling up, about 3 weeks left. MAIN STREET ROCHESTER, SEPT 2 THE PLACE TO BE!!!

Does any one out there know how I can contact Sin City Regiment? they are new from Vegas, They contacted me about Mini Corps but I have heard no more and their e-mail does work ? Thankyou for any help you can give.
