Does anyone know who has the drum corps rubber duckies?

For sale: Jupiter 1600I XO Professional Series Bb Trumpet (1600IS Silver) I bought this trumpet last year and have decided that I will never play it enough to keep it. I paid $1,836.00 for it but will take $1,600.00 for it. This horn was played only 3 times. It comes with all of the accessories and the case. Purchaser will have to pay for shipping. If you are interested and want to see pictures, please e-mail me at laurasop@yahoo.com. I will only take paypal payments. No checks. Laura Greenwald

I have to say that bus ride was alot easier when I was younger.

Let's see......11 hour bus ride versus 21+ hours. I am thrilled right down to my toes!!!!

Man am I glad I wasn't drinking anything while reading this Fran. I would be buying a new lap top if I had been drinking anything. That was hysterical. Talk about good GE.

Heatwave 1997 - We played at a convention and our job was to follow a guy dressed like Darth Vader around. The funny thing is we didn't know the Darth Vader theme. We only knew the parade tune we used and it was the theme for Star Trek The Next Generation. Very very weird.

That explains the missing marching member and here I was thinking we had left them at a rest area. That also might explain the strange smell coming from the back of the bus. haha OMG John that was by far one of the funniest things I have read in a while.

I believe the Grim Reaper had his own seat and as long as you leave him alone, he won't mess with you......unless it's your time to go.

Jerald....this is one of the many reasons why I love you!!!! You are too freakin funny!!!!

I actually work with a woman that is from the stadium neighborhood originally and she said she is surprised that no one has come out and taken a shot at one of the corps while doing one of these concerts. She said it is one of the worst neighborhoods in Rochester. So I am going to say that I am glad the concerts are not going to happen. Besides.....it also means that we can get back on the buses sooner and get home. It's a long 20+ hour ride home.

It's still getting into the 90's here in Atlanta so your weather is like outside air conditioning to us. BTW.....hurricane is a bad word to me after 2006.

I just love this time of the year. No one knows how anyone is really doing but I still love to see how people do their predictions. I always come back to the prediction thread to see who was the closest after finals is over. I wouldn't even try as I am of course biased.

2 years in Heat Wave (97 & 98) I joined thanks to DCI being in Orlando 96-98. I had no idea there was a DCA corps in Orlando up until that point. 7 years in CorpsVets (99-2004, 2006) 1 year in Alliance (2005) Combined Total of 10 years. I am on my second year of being the Tour Director for Alliance and I am enjoying management as much as marching.

My favorite moment was the Troopers making finals for the first time since 1986.
