And every one of those cities has world class gourmet dining - yes even Minneapolis. 😉
Forgive me for replying late. I rarely view DCP these days. Dining before or after a drum corps show is good ::wink::

4 cities for me within proximity? Possible direct flights, public transit, good weather or a dome? As for dining, no whining as I had granola bars in my purse Indy 2010 and 2013.
Pasadena
Santa Clara
Minneapolis
Chicago

Apparently, anything that was saved to photobucket is paywalled now, which is some ########.
take them all to fb.I had tried to warn others with posts here and there to say the bucket was funky for some time. I truly apologize for trying a free service and posting a few of my scans and photos here. Also, my scanner broke a few years ago and have had other technical difficulties. No worries, decades old original programs and photos are intact. The memories are priceless and the cat came home. It's all good. It was a good run. Hugs to all.

1970's Marion Ohio - good competition
1970's Butler Pennsylvania - good people
1970's Watkins Glen New York - good fun
1970's Kitchener/Waterloo Ontario - good variety

Yes, agree with all of the above points. I'm also a big SCV fan along with BD but when I see these uniforms - not at all striking. The yellow against the grey is great but the props, the tarp and grey uniforms against the glare of the lights just look like a mess.
Thank you for sharing the video. I'm not entitled to Flo due to my proximity. SCV 2019 has a fine example of staging, transitions and texture to provide a 3-D stage quality on a flat field with lines. Vanguard is a word that fits well with this corps. Thanks for exploring yet another dimension SCV.

I keeping hearing words like brotherhood and fraternity. But if the people using these terms were to make a list of all the values they associate with those concepts, I wonder how many of those values would really be specific to having a particular anatomical configuration.
I've often used the word camaraderie when reminiscing years drum corps and winter guard. Thanks for your insightful and poignant posts. He, she, we can equate to whee.

I do remember many corps in the Toronto area plus corps in Kitchener-Waterloo area too
As do I and had drum corps experiences in both cities. Good times.

My brother marched in Del and I knew a few more Dels;) Watched them practice or do half time shows at Del's college football games. Nice campus. Good corps.

I used to doodle with pen and paper in class; was reprimanded; discovered water colour painting. Can a first-year digital media class student doodle? I'm curious.

I went through a trial against a sex offender. There is no one in the world who could have convinced me to go through that if it hadn’t happened. It was almost as bad as the offense.
This theory is ridiculous.
Nice first post, btw. 🙄
Me too. Courts sent a fine; creditors called long after he didn't pay at last known address. Keep accurate records, track process and know you are the truth. Hugs.

I marched for drum corps for 4 summers and for two of them I had drum majors that had previously marched and for two of them I had drum majors that had just auditioned for the role.
From that experience, personally, I heavily prefer a drum major that is a vet. The drum majors that had never marched never seemed to fully understand what it was like to rehearse as a performer and sometimes even seemed to believe they were the highlight of the show.
I know plenty of excellent drum majors have never marched before, but I just always found it easier to identify with (and even approach) a vet-turned-DM.
I tend to agree with you. Earning respect and trust takes time. Before I was DM, I was in guard, winter and summer for 4 years. In 1972, I was the first female DM since 1965 that wasn't a horn player or drill instructor. I had to learn music, read notes on a score and understand the terms of crescendo and decrescendo and more. The transition from movement to music took lots of practice, however, I knew the people I conducted and as a young marching guard instructor knew my friends on guard well. My friendships helped with my huge newly assigned responsibilities in which I didn't audition. I was told to be DM in 1972.

In a previous post I said I thought in most corps, the brass staff would help develop a DM. That help along with added help from an existing experienced DM/s, would be the more likely scenario versus a DM consultant. I have to believe what I described would be a more typical situation.
I was DM 1972-1975 with a competitive corps and received assistance from 3 brass staff with an average 10 hours mentoring each at rehearsals with no experienced DM/s to mentor me ever. I took a break in 1976 and marched spare flag with a DCI finalist. I was then again DM 1977-1979 with a non-competitive corps. The DM experiences were completely different. The early years I had to learn and earn respect as a female DM for a corps with males on drums and horns, females on guard while I was their guard instructor. The second shift was for a young, talented all female corps that were musically dynamic and fun to conduct as a DM. You don't need a DM mentor when the corps is good. The DM simply gets to enjoy the music as did I. I was a lucky ducky:)

not always no.
I was a DM 1972-1979 with 2 corps. You speak truth. No coaching except from 1 bugle instructor and 2 arrangers. Hugs to you and the family over the holiday season.

I know all corps need it, but don’t forget to drop by BD’s souvie booth in the summer and thank them. Maybe buy a souvie or two.
Bought two in 2013. Time to get my passport again. Hope to visit Indy again soon. Thanks for the videos BD.

The monologue of Joan of Arc in the play Saint Joan by George B. Shaw is powerful. All the best PR.

Dan has been judging for perhaps 40 years. What is your significance to 1987? It's one year of many for many of the pageantry arts. I'm curious.

Guard staff was me and rifle lead from 1972-1975 during winter (guard). When the hired drill instructor showed up in May, I'd brief him of what we were up to for 8 months and we'd figure out how to go from floor to field in a week. During 1972-1975, I was also DM (multi-tasker). Learning from arrangers and horn instructors during the summer was also fun, however, winter guard rocks imo
