All the big kids getting together do what we loved to do as little kids… And doing it quite well… I feel very fortunate to have these friends and experiences. Sincere thanks to Andy and Anthony for putting these BHOF shows together. See you in Bridgeport !

Joe Nuccio taught Mondo Cane in one rehearsal...great chart...corps sounds great

After seeing Bluecoats in New England last weekend I felt this was just a matter of time before they overtake Crown. Great Show!!

G7 Corps can base their success on a number of factors. Most importantly they have found a financial formula to sustain their existence. They have used this financial success to hire the best talent to design shows and teach their students. They have politically aligned themselves with the adjudicators. All these factors allow then to pick the best talent out there. They win. Kudos for a job well done. So who attends drum corps shows these days. Well I can speak from my experience at the Eastern Classic and Finals which I have attended for more consecutive years than I can remember. Family members, not of 7 corps, but of 20 corps. Baby boomers, like me, who hope to reminisce of the glories of past years. (There are a lot of us). Past contestants, who marched in more corps than I can mention. Some corps who are still around and some who are just memories. Casual new fans. It takes this complex demographic to fork out the money (not cheap) to fill the stands at regional’s and finals. So my question to G7. Who is your audience? My guess is a lot of the above mentioned will not be there. Hope you have good endowments and generous donors. As for me, DCA is looking better and better

Ask your kid how he feels at the end of a performance. That's what drum corp is about. That what he/she should take with him. Can anyone here tell me Spartans are "better" than East Coast or Fever or that Caviliers are "better" than Cadets or Troopers. DCI does the best they can do to judge this activity but the true goal is not to find the best corp but to set a standard of performance that drives the activity to higher levels of achievement. Without the 2nd thru 20th place corps shows would be short and boring affairs. So tell your kid your proud of him and you love him and because of him drum corp is a great activity. The judges are just a small part of it. And their opinions??? well...they are just opinions. You know the truth. Your kid marches with winners!!!!
