  1. I'm kinda forever humming "Queen" songs...

    but

    David Bruni can verify that I've been telling him that ever since Miss Saigon's success they should do Les Mis... it's long overdue for someone to wow the audience with this classic and the release of the movie just makes the timing perfect... and if you haven't seen the movie - get off your buns and go but bring TWO hankies... cannot believe the singing of Hugh Jackman

    So I'm sure you've guessed - I can't wait to see Cadets 2 and predict they will kick butt...

    Select songs could do it.

  3. I'm talking about drop-kicking specially-bred puppies that fly straight. They've been trained to use their ears as rudders.

    PS: I don't think everyone has read the works of Jonathan Swift.

    Mr Boo,The Swift family meat packing company has taken exception to your inference that our company tenderizes our puppies by drop kicking them thru goalposts.

    I can assure you that only the most humane methods are used in the process and tenderization of all our dogs.

  4. That's considered local!!

    The actual corps' base is within a 140-150 miles radius area of Racine; with a good member representation coming from even further down the pike (or up the pike). Milwaukee area, Madison area, Green Bay area, Chicago area, Fox Cites area, South Bend (IN) area, Detroit area, etc. etc.........and further for some!! Yup, 130 miles is local!! :smile:

    I did the 400 mile roundtrip, for 8 great years.

  5. It is pretty exciting this year,as it was in all the past years.

    Will the Kilties catch CV?

    Will Renegades be able to jump into the top 5?

    Can Reading reclaim the crown?

    One thing for certain is that over this weekend, Thousands of lovers of Drum corps will join together for one heck of good time.

    Good luck to all,safe journeys to and from.

    Being a tad bias,I have to add....... GO MIDWEST !!!!

  6. still can get a top 10 placement,..........but no voting rights for international corps,......

    Thanks Gary,Would you know if the 11th place corps(North American) corps would then pick up voting rights?

    Ps.How's my horn doing. Hope it's still on the field,lol

  7. A friend and I were having a chat about Corps coming over from England and Japan,to compete in DCA.

    We both agreed that it was great for them and great for the activity. I say the more the merrier. I really thought Kidsgrove was awesome.

    But then he mentioned that he thought there was something in the Bylaws that a corps had to be From N America to compete for and hold a top 10 placement,come Sept.

    I told him "Don't know dude,but I am sure someone on DCP could answer his question".

    Anybody know?

  8. Kilties=32 average age. Largest segment between 18-32 with a few really old geezer's who can still play like angels and march like gazelles bringing the average age up to 32. We wanted to kill off a few of them to bring the average age down; until many of us realized we were the "thems". :blink:

    And when electronics come into play many of us have elected Bill to become the first animatronic player.We tried to have him stuffed years ago ,but he kept muttering "I'M NOT DEAD YET!!!!"

    And now back to the topic....

  9. It's no trick - The Kilties field show will be a treat for audiences in 2012!

    This year's show, "Trick and Treat" is built around four productions that have different hauntingly surreal auras about them. The powerful opener is a dark, driving, very unique arrangement of Toccata in Fugue which has been titled "Treat me well the first time, or I'll be Bach!" The second number will be a stand-alone percussion feature with a wicked jazz feel and is fittingly named "The Witch." "Land of Make Believe" is a bright, hopeful groove tune that shows that even dark spirits gotta lighten up and party sometimes. The closing production, "Spending the Night with the Troll King on Bald Mountain," is a combination of "Night on Bald Mountain" and "Hall of the Mountain King" and is an extremely jazzy interpretation of the two classical masterpieces.

    Don't miss The Kilties in 2012!

    Great stuff!!

  10. youre right on all accounts!!!

    That pulled post gave a example of something that did happen, It did happen 3 years ago but none the less it did happen. I wrote it,it was true.. If you talk about perpetulating something look at the various posts by one person, mentioning the post that was pulled. It was like how dare you challenge me. When I wrote the post it was meant to be tongue in cheek about how not to write a critique. I did not mean to slam any one. It was written to point out,..If you write about it have your facts straight. If you write about something there are some who may not like it. But please tell me where it says,some one can write whatever they like, Good or bad ,and have it accepted as gospel. Does no one have the right to challenge them?

    Can no one defend themselves?

    I was over and done with this topic until my post was brought up again it.

    Please move on.
