Someone has probably posted this already, but this interview with Allen Buell states that Philly is in the lead for the next bid. http://www.eyeonannapolis.net/2013/08/28/drum-corps-marching-into-town-this-weekend/

Chris is THE drum major.

Is it still possible to order the CD's and/or DVD's? If so, where? Thanks.

Is anybody from the "Is DCA dead" thread reading this? Great stuff!! :) Michael

Thank you. I do not agree with everything you said, but for the most part you hit the nail on the head. For me at least. Great post. Michael

What?

$200 dues? Where's that? The NE corps members that I know of pay way more than that. Sheesh.

Thank you, thank you, thank you voice of reason. It could not be said better. Best of luck to everyone! Michael

Each corps best number could also be used as a great recruiting tool. And, for the big shows during the summer, a web site could be used advertising each corps that will be competing in that show along with a link to their video. Sort of like coming attractions. Michael

Very nice! I like it! Go Sky! Michael

One e-mail does not make a majority. There are always going to be negative people around. Most of the people I've met would like to see as many corps as possible out on the field. The majority of people I've met also don't follow what goes on in the DCP forums. I'm starting to see why now. Michael

Apparently you've never had Texas pizza. Best of luck to Sky, uh, and your pizza!

Or maybe you could talk to the people you have a problem with directly..... Granted, that would not generate as much publicity, but it would go farther in solving the original disagreement. I'm just saying..... Michael

There are people that seem to need a sense of drama around them at all times. <**> Michael

OK, good point. I did not think of it that way. Thanks! Michael

Why even waste time on the nay-sayers? Field a strong corps, blow everyone off the field and then end with few well placed "I told you so's". Seems counter-productive to even spend any energy addressing stupid rumors. Best of luck to Sky. I can't wait to see the show this year. Michael

Sorry, false alarm. Whew.

"Evil"

Can anybody connect to the Esperanza web site? I get a server not found error. :(

Amen!! Thank you. Everybody have a great holiday. Michael (weary from all the negative BS too)

Hey, how'd somebody reasonable get on this thread? :P

Thank you?

I want a pony....

Ow, caps. I had typed out a sarcastic reply, but then I decided to delete it, as it would have served no constructive purpose. And would probably only fan the flames of paranoia. As some one who has lived in the Bay Area most of my life and only recently moved to Boston, I consider myself fairly unbiased. But to think that all corps in the NE are spending all their energy on plotting against one certain group of people is paranoid and slightly self-centered, IMO. The Renegades seem to pride themselves on being different and "in your face". Great, more power to you. Different is good, I don't want to see 10 clone corps on the field. But, different doesn't automatically make you the best. My .02 cents. I'll go back to lurking again. Michael (who doesn't march with anyone at the moment)
