I must give my two cents on this subject. I marched Drum Corps for 6 years. Played Euph for the first 2 years and contrabass for the final 4. I aged out in 2000...... In 2002 I had THREE BACK SURGERIES!! All from degenerative discs. While the doctors did do all they could....after I explained to them my summer lifestyle of 6 years of holding a contra at the position of attention (not playing position) and sleeping on gym floors..(this is before the advent of AeroBeds.....God what I wouldve given to have had those when I marched).....The doctors said that drum corps NO DOUBT played a role in my back's demise. To this day I take TWO capsule of Kadian 60mg....(Controlled Release MORPHINE) and 90 Hydrocodones a month. AND I WOULD DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN I N A H E A R T B E A T ! ! ! ! FHNSAB JJ

This is the biggest piece of crap post I have ever read in my life. You must be joking right? I served as an intern during Spring Training this year with the Cadets and can tell you for sure that you are dead wrong and ......you should prolly go ahead and get yourself a life. Cheers GO HOLY NAME

sorry guys.....I dont live on this forum nor do I have time to read EVERY last one as you two appearantly do. If you dont like the thread....here's a thought.....dont read it or reply......(content removed, no personal attacks or profanity please - EE) Cheers JJ

As a PROUD Colts Alum.......I must say that I am extremely proud of them this year.....I haven't seen their show yet this year. From the recaps...it appears that their visual and gurad are excellent this year....Id love to hear from someone who has senn them thus far

I have to admit....ever since ageing out of Colts in 1999, Ive not really see a bunch of show....about 5-6 per year. But I just don't understand how a Corps can go from being consistently in the Top 6 ....to looking like they will be lucky even to make Semis. I know they missed finals once since I aged out....but they reovered, right. In my honest opinion, and this is just my opinion.......The Scouts lost their identity when Scott Stewart left the picture. Thoughts? Cheers, Josh
