Excellent!!

Andy, We (MSJ) marched the Plymouth show for a number of years. I used to fly up from Fla to do it when I lived there. Hey-zeus cristies froze the better part of my manhood off a number of years. The indoor show we did our best to "play in control" with the dynamics and keeping the tone in shape.....but after a while it was.....let it happen....I have to admit the fans up there are the best, they always were on their feet. Bobby is going through a little rough spot right now, a cold is kicking his cooley. To give you an example, I had to drop off a bottle of BV, 'cause he couldn't get out, and the Dr's said no booze. No booze to a Canadian is like the expression, "un dia sin donas, is como un dia sin chicharonies". Spent all summer getting my chops(what chops I have) back in shape playing for the legion guard. So ya' never know, would absolutely love to do it. Anyhow, don't be surprised if one of these weekends.........

Jim, Is that I Siamese? 6 months ago we got a Sianmese/Ragdoll mix. Had 3 other Siamese through the years. Great cats!! Anyone who marched the Noreaster in Plymouth (like I did) in '97, has very mixed emotions about that parade.

I got a question. How many of you on this thread that advocate adding amps/electronics go to any Bands of America shows? How about Brass Bands of America (NABBA)? The reason I ask is, I attend both as well as DCI and DCA.

You should have seen it from the podium.....

Interstatesmen 65. Sky always, especially '71. Hurks '69. Balto-Requiem

LOL......

It's interesting the response on this thread compared to the same question elsewhere. Kinda' 'splains lotsa stuff.......death to the DUTS!!!

I believe it is.

I thought there was an issue with Fred going into Delaware?? Evidently he got wrapped up with a Fighting Blue Hen. Is/was there any truth to this?

I like your thinking. If we don't hang together we will hang separately.

Agreed!!

I like these along with the parade idea for Friday afternoon/night, with the corps that want to participate getting additional revenue for participating, regardless of where they finish. Additionally I think its time DCA moves outside it's "drum corps" silo and incorporate the community more. Make this a part of an overall festival that DCA orchestrates in the host city. Using this DCA weekend marching arts festival as a model develop a plan for building the activity throughout the season. By this I mean, once the platform is developed, use it in whole or part, in each city that hosts a DCA event, through the season. The object is to incorporate more of the people outside of the drum corps community with the event. Additionally, as much as I dislike much of what DCI has done with the artform through the years (and I'm not going to get in any arguments with anyone), I do like the idea of the clinics at show sites, including DCA weekend.
