Amazing coverage.webcast with your Live report is great!! Well done...so far!

[edit

I don't post much here anymore..been accused sometimes of being a lurker or whatever........not...............just old ....and don't come on here much.....so anyway..I agree with you 10000% ..a loss of any corps hurts us all.......it is such a shame that economy robs us of the very reason many of us continue to enjoy life in hard times.........drum corps to me has always been the favourite activity...and I have always believed that it has and still does contribute to the maturing of our youth...making them as they did me a team player ...and as I was not a hockey player in a country that puts that above all.......found a sport that I could achieve my potential ....yes ..I could not skate well..but I could ...first play a bugle...Soprano ..then baritone..then...saw the light hahaha just kidding...tenor drum....then snare....was my life since 1966 till whatever.........the best activity in the world......I applaud the corps that know not to go in to debt or do a less than good entertaining show....again a shame that some need to regroup....been there done it...Good Luck to all corps this 2011 Season Junior and Senior ..oh forgot all age....I meant All age..anyway.....God Bless for the coming drum corps season..hope those that can...do...those that can't come back soon...and just keep the faith and locally ....fill the seats!!!

WOW!!

What? Grenadiers are fielding a corps this year? Oh wow ..did anyone know this?? Except for D.A. I am saying right now..look out..they are going to rock your world!!

You guys have rolaids? Please send me some they have been non existant here for months and months...a recall!! Oh my heartburn!!! Have a great year....ENJOY!!

Please do not quote me on the dates they may have changed !!!

I am not sure but go to www.kingstongrenadiers.com.....looks like february 19 and 20 according to the schedule I ma be wrong but check it out!! Good Luck Grennies......

Not sure how you will top "Stormworks" but I am sure you will...also hard to beat all the earlier productions..Mangione...Maynard...Metheny...Gershwin...etc..etc.....waiting not so patiently for the production info for 2011... HAHHA!! Have a cool Christmas parade season!! BRRRRRRRR!!!

actually it is Brenda's banana bread and chocolate chip cookies........ oh and the after hour blender drinks!!

Sounds positively..positive!!!! Nice to see some great news from the Canadian scene!! Good luck for the first camp... "ENJOY" and have a fun time at the Christmas parade....I have had so many people at work asking me if grennies were going to be in the parade...yes..yes..and yes!! :blink:

Indeed , I posted a rant that perhaps I should not have. But Dick it was not negative it was to me a perception that here on this forum everyone would comment about other corps..indeed from the U.S.A..yet when a Canadian corps...posts their intentions...or their staff announcements or whatever.. seems no one is interested in them..and Tom maybe you are right but I know for sure that in past years there were certain DCA people who did decide who and where you competed or at least strongly suggested that this would be the case ...so I agree to disagree..if you have a problem with that then I apologise..but the truth is the truth.....politics is the way of life ..I am sure...having said that..I am confident that the coming season will for DCA be phenomenal....And Class "A" will be tremendous as well as open..I wish no-one bad feelings or frustration it is a wonderful hobby..and I only wish that the drum corps people in canada could field a competitive , strong DCA calibre corps...but hey if Cabs need to recruit in Montreal ..so be it....it's all good as long as the people do what they need to do...life is too short to worry about what could have should have might have been....sorry for my emotions but I love canada!!
