AGdrummer

Im trying to drag my friend joey hes been marching Jr corps since 2000 and has to take a year off due to money, He lives in Burlington mass and has been marching Citations since 2000 I lived with him during the 2007 season hes a great guy and plays bari/Euph. Im calling him tonight to see if i can drag him along on Sunday.

Bump! Cant wait to meet everyone on Sunday!

That would be cool. Im ready to strap on a drum again!

if only i didnt live in maine......

I play brass i play percussion, ive marched DCI and aged out prior to electronics, BUT my main instrument is bass guitar, and if i could still march, i think id think about auditioning on it. I love Drum Corps and i love my bass i think personally until i hear it i cant make a judgement.

any contras? id love to have a contra to play! or shall i say Kontra

Dirigo Alliance, we were based out of the Waterville Alfond center also known as the Boys and Girls Club. We played on black drums Yamaha field corps and SFzs i was with the group in its infancy played for a bit and then helped out with teaching the drum line when Chris couldnt be there all the time to watch us. had a great instructor that actually went to Atlantic Guardian where i soon followed via Jim Alberty, which is still a great influence to this day on me. I wouldn't have gone on to march if it wasn't for him. Dirigo went too big too fast. We were told wed be putting out a div 1 sized unit the first year. The call for corps in maine is low. I only know a handful of people in this day and age that have marched or are currently marching. I still have the original Members manual and Drum handbook in a file at home. If i can get around to scanning it, ill Post it. I also have atlantic Guardians as well. Great kids i marched with some have gone on to march great places. Apparently it just wasn't the time for drum corps to return to maine. Alumni corps anyone?

Working on getting there!! Cant wait!

may be interested in the valve rotor contra. My birthday is tommorrow if i can Ok it with the woman i may be interested.

I was in the Drumline Played snare for a while with Josh that went on to march with Spartans and then tenors. Myself i went out to march AG till they folded spending 2 years with them, then going off to Citations in 2007 and Spartans myself in 2008a ageing out. anyone else out there?

07 was smokin for the Hornline. Great notes. 08 in bias while i was there. Great show would of been great with more members.

Citations and Spartans please? maybe even defenders alumni corps?

I was a member for a short term in 2007 and in 2008 till a july injury sent me home. it is a great corps that has fallen on some hard times. They seemt o be doing the right thing from what i can see.

Rebuilding years for sure to come. Im glad not to see a corps that gave me such joy watching and being part of will not be going anywhere for the near future.

Thank you so much! as long as i can find someone to hook up with for a ride part way as its a long drive to make by my lonesome im excited!

Its looking like if i can make the arrangements to make it down i will be marching this summer with the Defenders Alumni. Im talking with the Director to get myself down there. Thank you all and i wish you all luck this summer.

Yumm CONTRA!!! i may only be 21 but i want to have many years in corps and have many years so throw out there. Alumni seems to be the best for me!

Family comes first. I did my DCI years full tilt. Now im looking for something rewarding yet satisfying to the itch i have..

Just trying to get as much info as i can before i consult my family on this.

Well that sounds amazing! that is what im looking for light but rewarding. Can you put me in touch with some members that may be close to me?

Thanks so much! Drum Corps is part of me and its a part i don't want to stop.

Ive emailed a bunch of corps in the general New England area. The biggest thing is finding a ride so its not like a 5 hour drive for me.

bump

You know i was in good old Cali during 2007 DCI tour and i couldn't of been happier. Even took a palm lave home. Still got it next to my full corps picture. Its true what they say when its in you you cant stop! i just need a new home even if its cold u[p here there's a warm corps out there for me!

Thank you so much everyone! Muchachos seem to be great ive met a few people from there, and actually one of the support staff members last summer at spartans is a member. ive heard alot of good!
