Why did Jimmy leave???? Seemed to MANY of us vets that he bailed the corps out in 2004 and turned things around in 2005. We toured very well last summer between Jimmy and Tanya and now they are both gone! I pulled up the Magic stuff from this time last year and we had the show, staff, camp dates, location, and updated web stuff. Not this year so far...... Help wanted: Volunteer Leader - Curt did a good job last year, even had some outside group come to a camp. Transportation Manager - Don't remember ever breaking down or getting lost. Great floor time. Cooks - WE HAD THE BEST IN DCI WHY THE CHANGES?????? nate

Magic's director is listed on DCI.org Also looks like they are behind last year. No staff people yet (other then designers) no location for auditon camp and they just changed the audition date that I was going to visit on Thanksgiving weekend. Oh well. We might not have done as well as other years last summer but I had a great age-out experience in 05' because they had things together. We had phat food, new stuff, didn't break down, cool brass staff (go Mark) and great directors! (Jimmy and Tanya) Lets hope we can get come updates soon. Nate

No way dude.......but it was directed to the guy Mike who made the sarcastic comment about people being honest. Read above and you tell me....no biggie

You don't know Jimmy, he'd give you the shirt off his back if you asked. Some people just suck.................

Hey, I wish KK the best of luck but lets not get stupid about being full. I marched here in 2002 and the only reason we had 133 on the field was because of the Thunder members that were loyal to our director and followed him to KK. After 2002 he was kind of pushed to the side and the slide started! I think a health issue was to blame. In 2000 the Thunder had 51 members, 2001 97 members and at the 2002 Thunder auditions, we had almost 200 attend. Those years were the BEST years I ever marched followed by this past summer with Magic. Another full corps with Magic this summer! Jimmy's the Bomb! Thanks for letting me age out under your direction. I also know alot of good people that went on to be in top 12 corps that woudn't have if a certain person didn't expose drum corps to us at his expense. Feel free to chip in here guys...... I will be a fan of KK and Magic as an alumni and a Florida Drum Corps fan but to be honest, people shouldn't change things of there not broke! Where you finish isn't everything! How you are treated is IMO. Nate 2000 Thunder 2001 Thunder 2002 KK 2005 Magic - Age out
