Contra Joe

This is correct. The younger performers are in fact using DCA as a training ground. I am not saying it is right or wrong just that it is...

Donny, it is great that Henry is finally on DCP. You are not kidding when you say Henry can play. Wow, and he can play any part in any section including the snare line. We may have to shoot up to Rochester and kidnap him for a weekend or two. LOL. It is all good as long as we can see and hear Henry play. See you guys soon and when you see us around, buy us a beer (Just kidding - buy us several).

Now that is funny. How many DCA corps could we fund for a year with the budget of one of the DCI big boys like BD, SCV, the Cadets or the Cavs. I know they tour non stop but it is just a thought for comparison of DCA budgets vs. DCI budgets, and fess, and dues, and travel expense, and tryout fees, and, and, and...

No bashing here. I agree with you.

Ah Yes, Kelly's and Drum Corps on the Shore. There is nothing better than that...

I guess I haven't looked for the past three years. I used to be a big follower but haven't ahd the time with the family. Boy am I out of the loop with DCI. I need to get to a show or two. Thanks for the update...

Since when is DCI know as: Drum Corps International :: Marching Music's Major League™ I guess DCA has been relegated to the Minor League. Maybe we can work our way upto AAA. This is not a knock on DCI, but I really never know that DCI officially went by Drum Corps International :: Marching Music's Major League™

I don't know about the rest of you but we are playing horns and drums at Sky Alumni. LOL (Sorry, I had to do it)

Tom I one short year you have put togheter a GREAT Mini Corps which has competed and won at the highest levels. You have created a 50 piece Allstar Alumni Corps with TCL. You have a book of dozens of piences to play for all occassions. You have an ongoing gig with the Saratoga Raceway (The August Place To Be). You have brought the MCA Championships to the Capital of NY (September of 2008) and now you are performing at one of the nicest summer resorts around in front on thousands of visitors. All I can say is Wow and I am glad I was able to experience this with you. Keep it up and we will have the DCA chapionships in Albany one day at the future University at Albany Football Stadium. (my wishes, not Tom's - LOL) Thanks, Joe

I miss Henry Staab

Thanks George. So far, so good.

I've got to run this one pass my wife. I can tell her that I am saving money by traveling. YES!!!

Who is driving? I am sure gas will be over $4 a gallon in Upstate NY any day now. It seems to edge up .02 every other day and we are already at $3.75

Dano, So is mine. LOL

Rest in Peace "Ma"
