Thanks for the great review contratech. We were proud to entertain such an excellant crowd at Hastings.

I've played DEG sopranos for most of my career and would like to believe there's a G-bugle better than this. Getting the horn in tune is a pain, probably because the "square" tuning slide. The horns are made to be tuned at room temperature, which isn't the temperatures drum corps play in (Yank that tuning slide). And the pinky hooks are glued on so poorly that they pop off while in the middle of a show. Please tell me Kanstuls are better.

I dig the 76 Oakland Crusaders. But, Phantom's Spartucus? That show made me choose to march in Madison in 82.

1977 Seneca Optimists
One of the best horn lines that I've seen. Yet they disappeared shortly after.

I was marching with the Imperials that season and the Dalton show was our home show. Spirit was given the option to perform and they decided it would be good therapy to do so. It was one of my most memorable drum corps moments. The emotion coming through Spirit's performance was the greatest tribute Jim Ott could have received. Truly touching.

Thanks for the review. Mankato is our second home show and performing there is always a joy (one of the best drum corps stadiums in the world) And whether or not you know how to use proper English (f___ing grammar police), your courage to post how you feel about a show is well appreciated.
