  2. The Defenders Alumni Corps from Rockland, MA are please to announce that they will be performing in Allentown in 2014. The corps will be doing the opening exhibition on Saturday night of DCI East.

    The Bridgemen will still be closing the evening but DCI now has two great alumni corps on one night.

  3. Hope you can follow along. I believe the solos leading up to concert and the second concert solo were by Jim Centorino. The first concert solo was by the sop second from the left side since you can see his spot. The solo heading to the FL does not sound like JC, so it may be the third solosist or the first soloist during the concert. This will be on the final exam!

    Neal Smith asked one of the soloists from 71 (Stempkowski) who said Dick Brackett played into concert solo, Stemy played concert solo and Walter played exit solo.

    2-7 had 3 sop solosts in 71 as well. Just goes to show you the talent all those corps had.

  4. Don't know what's happenin' here, but I received the lineup and order of appearance just today. Brassmen aren't listed. The listing and corps writeups I got was Park City, Reilly, Les Dips, Defenders, Intermission, Boston, Hanover, Sac, and Hawthorne.

    Brassmen will be a great addition, but check with the people in the know, just to be sure.....

    That is last years lineup. I was told the 2013 lineup should be up any day. No Dips or Hanover.

  6. As a drummer, I am partial to Ballard......freaking brilliant writing and awesome performance. Walter did a nice soprano solo in Close to You :)

    They had three very good soprano solos and from what I was told, all three were played by different people.

  9. So despite spinning with her two seasons before and spinning a different season as well, our school's color guard coach decided that anyone who didn't spin this last marching season can't spin for winter guard. I was trying to find the rules to spin with another school in the district and it wasn't quite clear, and I'd really like to spin with the other school in my district. Anyone know the exact rules, or better yet have a link to them?

    Contact me at dale@wgi.org and I'll give you some guidance.

  10. The Defenders Alumni Corps of Rockland, MA is pleased to announce the addition of Bob Matheson as percussion caption head. Bob was a long time member of North Star's famous Chrome Wall and has instructed many corps including Alliance of Boston from 80-82. Bob will not olny assume the role as caption head but will also write all of the corps percussion charts going forward. Mike Montiega will remain on board with Bob as a percussion staff member.

    The organization would like to thank Steve Wolpe for his time and committment to the organization and wishes him good luck in his future endeavors.
