"Assist, Protect, Defend" Welcome home, young man! Check your PM's

Just so Terri doesn't take all of the bump heat.

I belive that Mike Gough, the former DM of the Troopers and documentary film maker may be able to give you some guidance. He posts here occasionally. He produced the Troopers last two DVD's. Good luck.

Thank you. "Of the Troops..." Andy Daave 1SG USA (Ret.) Military Police Corps Regiment

The article mentions it was an MP mission. Can anyone tell me if the young man is a Military Policeman?

Bingo... Not unlike say, American Idol. Three words come to mind... Ruben Studdards mom. Daave's theorum to the DCI axiom states: Those who are in a position to yell (insert the intransitive verb of your choice) first, loudest, hardest and most, get. It could be argued that this applies on many levels in DCI.

Still stinging from that Indy game yesterday, I see. Needed a place to vent and made it relate to Drum Corps? Sweeeeeet! Interesting, how, in true DCP form... you got responses that went along with the premise. (Corps, not football)

Paging MikeD... MikeD to the white courtesy phone...

The Glendale AZ show had two '09 finalists at last year's show and both are scheduled back this year.

I'd say that you could be better armed with information about what has transpired by getting a subscription to the DCI Fan Network. Take your time and get familiar, then go to the show and see and hear for yourself. It's money well spent, in my opinion.

No problem But I would have to say that is looking pretty thin in the Pacific NW and the west in general.

I hope you get to unlock a gym for the Troopers, since they are announced to be at this show.

I love playing the "what if game" and speculation being just that... Could you imagine how many pages this thread would have been if his first name began with a J and he had been hired by the Mason Entertainment Group and this announcement had come from Madison? What if, indeed.

Based on ones upbringing and individual moral compass, one tends to believe in a particular viewpoint. Believe media, police, court system, authority figures, etc. Given that belief or point of view: "For those who do believe, no explaination is necessary... for those who don't, no explaination will do." ($1 to whatever guy said this first) Based on where you fall in the topic, it is my observation that on DCP (as with most discussion boards), arguing with the opposite is not unlike talking with a Q-tip. You individual mileage may vary.

Well ain't that just a kick in the yambags. (replied the guy who ordered and was charged for these over two months ago and still hasn't received them... as he reaches for the phone only to know that there will be no one on the other end who will give him a straight answer) So, ummm, Yeah... Kudos DCI. Let those good folks working where these are being shipped from know that they are my new BFF's.

And a bunch of people belonging to a facebook group means what? That they have done more research than that published by the court? Respect and honor in the thrid person are subjective. Probably.

The arrest report stated that the vice unit entered the park in reference to complaints of lewd behavior in the park. Hardly wasting tax dollars when responding to a call. Crime is crime. What makes one crime more genuine than another? The perception of the offended, perhaps?

I got an email from DCI on September 12th saying that they had processed my card (which they had). So I'm assuming that my order should have been here... YESTERDAY.

Couldn't find the reference the OP was refering to, but did see the one where they touted 360 "interest" forms. Interest forms vs RSVPs Even if, say, a third of the 360 RSVP'd and a third of those were to be accepted through the process and made the financial commitment to march... I'd call that pretty good numbers. If this did not include vets and considering they only had 19 age outs, I'd suppose they'd take those numbers any day.

One word... Pioneer http://www.drumcorpsplanet.com/forums/inde...howtopic=131156

I dunno. It's a rhetorical question, I suppose, because I doubt anyone in Vegas sets odds on such things.

Madison announces that they will no longer field a cymal line. Pioneer is actively recruiting for a cymbal line. What are the odds that not a single Madison cymbal player or potential Madison cymbal player will go to Pioneer?

"My question for everyone is: What instrument would be easiest to transition to from saxophone?" Well, since no one else has said it........ I will. Syhthesizer.

How about the ESPN cafeteria and a HUGE back up in the line (people look to the front of the lne and checking their watches) because at the front of the line it the Troopers DM slow walking. Someone goes up to him to say something. Without acknowledging the person, he puts his hand on the butt of the revolver and slow walks to the drinks?

That wouldn't explain why they tagged my card for the '09 finals DVD a month ago. 8-31 place the order 9-11 they acknowledge the order 9-12 they charge my card 11-15 scheduled shipping date One each $107.19 interest free loan floated to the DCI store.
