Does anyone have a good idea of a fairly inexpensive way to burn old drum corps albums to MP3? I bought one from Bed, Bath and Beyond but it doesn't record very loud. Thanks! I just received some old albums and want to get them done soon.

My parents had some old footage but the films were actually burned in a fire and had to be trashed. We were told the corps had been filmed at Prelims at DCI in 1980. Some members remember seeing it, some members don't. Does anyone know if corps outside of the top 12 finalists were taped? We were 16th that year.

For the past few years some of the alumni have been looking for old videos/films, etc of the Long Island Kingsmen. Over the past two years I have heard one of our 1980 show exists however, no one seems to know where it is! The past corps Director does not know. Is there anyone who has any videos of the corps PRIOR to 1981? Thanks!

So their reviews were this past weekend, can anyone let us know how they went?

Will there be a door?

Congrats....and this was my favorite line from their website: OPEN CLASS! Tampa Bay Thunder Drum & Bugle Corps is now an official member of DCA Open class & DCA South.

So does that mean that both of the corps have passed the DCA evaluation or is it like a circuit approval as DCA South does. I hope it is all good news though!

Senior corps? I haven't heard of those in a while....might you be asking about All-Age Corps? LOL. It's a great activity! Best of luck!!

I like my story better.....They have so many people coming to camp that the safety regulations stated that the building could not hold that many people. ;)

There are corps that start in November and December and some that wait until January. Was the reason you chose to do a later Open House to give the members and staff more down time, less stress during the holidays, etc OR was it because you found that you had a smaller dropout rate come June. I have always been curious about this. If this topic has previously been discussed, please let me know what the results were. Thanks!

Best of luck this weekend! I was speaking to a staff member who was very excited about this Open House/Audition. Take plenty of pictures!!! Dwayne (baba buey)

I can't believe how fast the date is approaching. Will there be a show announcement at the Open House?

Have a great Open House!!! Dwayne Your friend from the Carolinas

With Kidsgrove not coming back, it makes it 10 in Open class. Alliance Bucs Bush Cabs CV Empire Hurcs Kilties MBI Renegades Unless I missed someone folding (as I shudder). I REALLY hope that all the corps above are coming out....plus a few more in Open! D.

But still closer for any corps south of DC. I think that more corps will benefit from this move. It's worth a shot!

Congrats Holly and Jim!

Are you sure you want to go there?

You missed one.....it is REALLY hot in Atlanta in the middle of the summer. LOL

Congrats Sun Devils on a great first contest score!!! I am glad to hear that you made it home safely. And am glad you were able to find a way to get the equipment home. There are some great folks involved with Sun Devils, but everyone knows that all it takes are a few break downs and the corps budget gets crazy! If any of you can, please send a donation of any size to the Sun Devils to help them in this situation. It is INCREDIBLE to have corps like this travel great distances in this economy. So throw them a few bucks and say thanks for a job well done. Let them know the drum corps community supports them! Sincerely, Dwayne PS...Sun Devils did not ask for this request to be posted. They are a proud organization....I just know that situations like this are tough!!

Carolina Gold will also be in attendance! Driving down after the Jamestown, NY competition.

Cool, we didn't realize there was going to be a fair there! Awesome. LOL

Yes, the member actually went through some serious hardships....but is now happily employed AND is now expecting a child! So good wishes all around. But in the meantime.... We are now accepting CONTRA applications that are maybe not so serious of an inquiry....good sense of humor...can understand a country twang....knows and appreciates what grits are....and quite possibly be dedicated to finishing the season with us! THANKS! www.carolinagold.org

Due to a job loss...and then a new relocation out of state....Carolina Gold is looking to fill a Contra spot. Only serious inquiries need apply. ExecDirGold@hotmail.com Spread the word...we need to fill this position ASAP! Thanks everyone!!! www.carolinagold.org

BTW....I heard Music City Legend at the parade site. I guess we should all be sighing relief that the corps didn't go Class A. Nice strong sound. But then again....it sure would be nice to have you guys on the field this season!!! And remember folks there are a few DCA corps in the Chase voting. Vote for us ALL!!!!

I promise....one way or another....we really are trying to come down. We were hoping it would be this season. :( D.
