This is GREAT news!!! Perhaps send out info to the band directors in a 50 mile radius of the show site? This should be sell out crowd and hope it is!!!

Is this a compliment or insult? I've played with Yamaha organizations for the past 10 years I have no idea what the quality of Premier products is like.

I'll be "That guy"... So.... Cornets Trumpets Trombones bell forward euphoniums Flugel horns are undesirable horns in a concert setting due to the fact they are all 'directional' in nature???

Very excited for this weekend Mike! Cabs '10 bari Cabs '11 contra

Yes! And may I add that our activity would not be existence if it wasn't for many of the men who served in the armed forces. Florida, you'll be happy to know Cabs had an honor guard this weekend. Certainly a very important section for all DCA corps!

Great article for what sounds to be an incredible show!!! Best of luck to the Kilties!!! -contra chris

I wanna be with the corps so bad....sadly nothing has changed for the better in my life yet to allow that. hoping it will change very soon... -contra chris

I honestly liked the arrangement. However, electronicly produced sound will never move me the way a person who has command over a wind instrument can. -contra chris

that is AWESOME!!!! if I ever get my life back, I wanna be with you guys/gals love, contra chris

LAME!!!

very cool -contra chris

IMO, when a guest at a facility, one should not get in a pissing match with a facility employee, in this case the head football coach. The corps director should have allowed said field to be mowed and should have worked on some other aspect of the show (i.e. music). If the director felt strongly, he/she should have communicated the grivence with thier host (i.e. hs band director) and let them hadle the issue at hand. In short, when you are a guest at a facility, be flexible with the 'native' inhabitants of that space, as they may see you as an intruder, not a guest in their territory. -contra chris

SCORE!

Allentown...easy parking, good (stadium) food, easy access from Rt 22, 'upper deck' gives a great birds eye view of the field, the fans at this show are some of the most amazing drum corps people I have ever met, and it is in the backyard of the Poconos!!! LOVE IT!!! -contra chris

LOVE IT!!!! thanks for sharing -contra chris

Agreed, Sir

emphasise should have been placed on 'I have seen' Out of all the college marching bands I have seen in person.... Aburn Akron Boston College California (of Pa) Delaware East Stroudsburg (marched, grad student) Florida State Illinois Indiana (of Pa) Massachusetts Michigan Michigan State Minnesota Morgan State Northwestern Notre Dame Ohio State Penn State (marched) Purdue Shippensburg Temple Tennesse Texas A&M Wisconsin West Chester Yeah, hands down, TBDBITL has the best sousa section of all the college marching bands I have seen -contra chris

Thank you for saying this!!! and all I'll add is TBDBITL still cuts 20+ tubas each season and they have the best sousa section in a college marching band I have ever had the pleasure to listen to -contra chris

At least when it comes to you Jason...really, I mean it -contra chris

that would be sweet -contra chris

Really sad to hear that judges reward on personal preference and not for excellence...imo, if this is true (not saying it isn't though) it just taints the whole system... -contra chris

Oh, got ya now...summer marching band

I think I have some aged cheese for you Mike...

King does have a woodwind line, however Dynasty and Kanstul do not (but you probably knew that already).
