I don't remember what the thematic thrust was supposed to be, but there was this massive sundial that didn't seem to want to be moved hither and yon . . . sorry the coding won't go away . . .

Dairy Queen day!

And this is why I visit DCP - not the endless, "what should be done . . ." or "who will win" or "how can we fix" threads. Great drum corps stories for the ages!

I love Mandina's! I haven't been back since they reopened . . . if only I could eat their garlic shrimp pasta special whle listening to Ghost Riders, Danny Boy and Battlehymn. I would add Fried Chicken at Buster Holmes, Fiorello's or Chez Helene, but, well, they're gone, like Suncoast and 27th.

SCV - Sondheim's Pacific Overtures Cavies - Corigliano's Symphony #2/The Manheim Rocket or Britten's Billy Budd Phantom - Swan Lake Cadets - Marienelli's Atonement music - utilizing the typewriter and the rewind/fast forward motifs

St. Elmo's - old time steakhouse walking distance from the venue. I eat there every time I'm in Indy. St. Elmo Steakhouse Watch out for the horseradish!

For any strictly personal use I can't imagine there would be piracy issues.

If only I could transport myself back 40-odd years to my first time!

For me, this one's about tradition and the cumulative emotion that builds for a group over time . . . Troopers' Sunburst, any year, any music - my favorite was the year of the silent drill, mid-90's. 27th's Danny Boy - any year

1976 - Nadia who? Did what?

The Sundial.

I bought this from the Trooper's booth at the Kazoo show and watched it immediately upon returning home - I've spent a lot more (dinner, snacks, tickets, gas) to go to a commercial flic that I didn't care for in the least . . . buy it - you won't be sorry.

Saw them in Kazoo - I understood the trunks, certainly, but didn't like them. I felt they were a distraction and drew focus from the rest of the drill - "the boxes are on the move again!". However, I was very excited when the little girl in purple got in one and closed the lid . . . I thought that maybe we were in for some magic - she was going to appear out of another trunk. Nope, she just got out of the same trunk. While I recognize that the trunks were carrying props and used as platforms, it didn't seem to me that they were utilized to their fullest extent - perhaps that will change in the coming weeks.

In contention for the worst idea, ever . . . The Sundial.

I'm originally from MC, but skipped this to go to Kazoo last night so I could catch The Troopers. Placements last eve stayed within each flight - not likely to happen tonight. Enjoy the Dairy Queen - the one in Kazoo was closed by the end of the end of the show - had to stop at a Burger King drive-thru for a shake - not the same thing at all.
