I was a snare in corpvets the first year they started. 1 of 3! Then 1 of 2...

Hey... ;). ... Go Gamecocks!!!!

ValDownUnder... some people might take that the wrong way...

What’s offensive is all the movement stuff drum lines do today then they throw their arms down after they play a few licks... I guess that’s what 60’s and 70’s drumlines thought about 80’s and 90’s drumlines when they started moving side to side and diagonally. About your friend, either take him to a gun range and show him the real thing or take him to more shows so he can get used to it.

1. It’s way too early. 2. 1989 Suncoast 3. 1988 Madison

All these changes are why I became uninterested in the activity. Great for some, but not great for others. From time to time I check in with Spirit, but for the other corps I neither really care or am interested. I thank Hopkins and all the other corps directors who thought (voted) for amplification, slides, and electronics... Oh well, I do wish all the kids good luck and pray for them!

It was stated in an earlier post that both stadiums were unavailable due to a soccer game and reconstruction. I thought the same as well, to be honest.

The Freelancers???

If you are on Northside Dr, just west of the Dome and GWCC, you will intersect with Ivan Allen Jr. Dr on the northside of the GWCC. There is a parking lot on Ivan Allen you can park in that runs along side Northside Dr. You have to get there around 1pm-2pm to have any luck.

^^^ Exactly why all of us alumni stepped in ^^^ ... Since my first year marching drum corps, in 85', I have never seen an alumni rally quite like this one! So proud! I only wish the Freelancers could have done the same...

Very cool, Harvey!!! Thank you very much for doing that! This has all been very emotional, and the love that other corps have given Spirit is unreal. DCI has also been very supportive of what we are all doing... When I say "we" I speak of alumni in general, but I am just a itty bitty alum who cares for my corps.

That's correct! We have to maintain the kids, establish strong funding, and build the alumni membership.

Prayers going out to those families and to the Gold family. Sad days for sure.

You're right... Todd Snead left corps with $0 debt...

Those items are expensive... If you are asking if Spirit is in a bind again are you donating or just asking? I'm asking you because I don't know if you currently donate, or not... Take no offense... You may not be privy to the current alumni movement to save the corps for next year, but the need is for future years to come. Go read the post on what was recently set up...
