PGHPercussion

Do you not think DCA's requirement of, if so many DCA corps are in a regionally sponsored show,it had to be, a DCA show, didn't kill RCA?

Sorry to see you guys pulled out.Would have liked to see you there!

Minicorps? I thought they had like 40 horns the last time.

Thought Steel City Ambassodors were going to be there?

Does the afternoon show generate anywhere near the money the evening show does?They have to front the costs for a place, and judges.What did MCA do to ensure the success of what's seems to be 'their' main event.How many shows do you have scheduled?This will probably never happen again.

Jeff, has just returned from 10 days in the hospital yesterday.He had a deep tissue infection in his wrist that destroyed alot of the tissues in his wrist.Surgery was successful but he faces a long battle with a severe staph infection, which is life threatening.He is still in alot of pain and will be at home recovering the next few weeks.Please keep him in your prayers!

I hope this is not a bad omen of things to come!

Do they have 35 playing members? Last time I saw them they had 19 horns and no drums.

Yes you did.Just because a group doesn't immediately return to the field doen't mean they aren't active.Wouldn't the Thunderbirds of old be considered a failure because they never return to the field, went bankrupt and owed people money? Isn't your new project, in part, the of result of LER not being able to get back on the field? Recruiting others from other programs kills the other program.It slowly killed corps here.My corps merged with the Rockets,it was a patch on a already dying corps,we would have been better off not merging.Is your recruiting in OH hurting a corps there? Recruit local, build a base, build community recognition. Be happy with what you've created and don't leave a trail of hard feelings.

Before knocking others get yours on the field and live up to the hype.Its' not up to others to get your corps going, its up to the members,and that's your job. Some of those you have infered to, have already accomplished that!

And they regrouped to field again,what have you done except complain! Egos killed drumcorps here, more than bad management.

answer = almost definitely. I'm told that next week all will be revealed..... .

Its been a while,any news? Is there a new kid in the sand box,or not!

Just been through it enough times to know how much work it takes to get members, equipment, facilities and money.It will be interesting to see what developes.

If so, that's great, but not much being advertised around here. It's band season, no posts on any forums, and no recruiting.Not likely to pull everything together it would take, to be ready for 2009.
