Fairfield was Tradition's unofficial home show, on DCI all-age sheets. Nothing to see here. (Hey, why can't I fix my signature?)

Driving to Cincinnati Tradition camp this weekend all by my lonesome. Anyone from Louisville or along I-71 interested in carpooling?

I discovered during the 105 non-billable hours I spent researching the post you responded to here that someone may have too much time on their hands. That would be me. Have a great weekend! See ya in Rochester!

I'm still confused, especially considering the following comment from the Announcements forum: "As of this past week the Sunnyvale & Modesto Show are now DCA sanctioned. Dream & Renegades have been working behind the scenes to get this done." Here's a link to the thread: http://www.drumcorpsplanet.com/forums/inde...244&t=96270 Nothing against the California corps, I love SC & 'gades! I certainly thank you all for travelling so far. I just have a headache... but it'll be fine by prelims!

Thanks for the word. We appreciate it!

My three favorite memories of last season all have something to do with rain! Third was the joyous performance we did at Sound of the South after having to leave the field in the middle of our first performance that night. Getting to perform after driving to Arnold, MD and facing the possibility of being rained out was phenomenal. Plus, you all (and the Hurricanes) were wonderful to us. I hope we'll have better weather for you in Nashville, Dick! Second was the impromptu concert for the Bridgemen Alumni. I already posted earlier in this thread how much that meant. That you returned to this thread after all these months means even more, John! Without out the first, the private concert for the Bridgemen would never have happened. Getting to march our entire show at the Alumni Spectacular (because of technical problems--in addition to the wind and rain of hurricane Ernesto) was the cherry on our season. (Did that make the Bridgemen the whipped cream--hmmm...) The crowd at the Alumni show was many times the size of the "crowd" at prelims (although you few were very appreciative)! We cheered like we had made finals when we were asked how we'd like to perform the next day. OK, some of thought we did. Some way. Somehow. Some... never mind. These were all about unexpected opportunities to entertain. This year we're all chompin' at the bit to get back to Rochester, but we're definitely going to enjoy all the shows along the way. See you all in Rochester--by way of Nashville!

Hey, it's the Bridgemen! Good God, they're stopping to listen! Dang this is awesome! The opportunity to perform on finals day (if not in the finals) was a wonderful treat. Not only did we get to do a dry performance, we got to meet the REAL DEAL, classic old-school alumni from all the corps that we've followed (in my case) from the mid-70's! I will never forget that day. Thanks for all the good wishes and compliments. We'll do our best to uphold and grow the tradition.

Even with the scores as they were and an itinerary from heck to haul our butts up there and back in time to get back to work, I had an awesome time! I'm a rookie with MCL and a newbie to drum corps, and I had the time of my life getting to know my own corps better and meeting some really wonderful people in Minnesota. The weather was beautiful, and I'm starting to get a feel for DCA. Overall I had a blast in spite of the scores. Am I competitive? Just ask some of my bros and sistas from MCL! We can't wait to get to atcha all in Rochester! Just because we're doing our darndest to kick your butts doesn't mean we don't love you!

I keep reading and hearing all these wonderful things about you, but you have a mischievious side...

So what corps are member, affiliate, and non-affiliate?

Nice job, Scott. Our colorguard will definitely surprise some people.
