I got my individual Class A Prelims of Cincinnati Tradition today and it doesn't load. Boy was I DISSAPOINTED!

The Cincinnati Tradition will be holding it's 3rd winter rehearsal on January 3rd. Just to give you all a recent update. We have one of our largest corps in 2 decades this year with 26 brass, 15 percussion, and 8 guard. We have a great spanish theme this year and we are already done with the openner! We hope to see you all on the field this year! www.cincinnatitradition.org

The Cincinnati Tradition has also felt the bingo dive, with a 60% drop in bingo revenue. We are having one of our biggest years in 2 decades with recruiting. Four members already come from Columbus. The Tradition offered Rick Bays to take on some of their members for 2010. We'll see how that goes! I do hope they return for 2011. With corps dropping out most shows are now having 5-6 corps in the show. Makes it hard on the sponsors to fill seats.

I received my DCA mini corps CD's saturday. I noticed Disc 1 is missing #7 Capital Brass. Is there a reason for this anybody knows about? Also the Vigilantes and Cincinnati Tradition are switched from the insert. Vigilantes are #4 and Tradition is #5 on the Disc. Also, being the Director of the Cincinnati Tradition, I have to say I had a wonderful time in Rochester and look forward to bringing the corps back in 2010!

Linda, I do remember you! Those were some great times with Mirage Sr. Cozy did a very good job building the corps that they made DCM membership the second year out. See you maybe at mini corps! Tom Slade Cincinnati Tradition

Cozy will be missed, but part of me is thinking, He will be there in spirit! Tom Slade Cincinnati Tradition

If Cozy was here, he would be playing with the Tradition. But you know, he may be the reason we are coming to DCA! Thanks Cozy! Tom Slade Cincinnati Tradition

This is a taste of what the Tradition is bringing to Rochester this weekend! Sorry the recording is alittle heavy in the lower brass. This is where the person with the microphone was. We look forward to coming east! http://www.cincinnatitradition.org/2009%20...on%20Legend.mp3 Tom Slade Cincinnati Tradition

Tom, Is there any chance of taking the "S" off of Traditions, it's actually Cincinnati Tradition. And yes, are the times wrong on our schedule? Tom Slade Cincinnati Tradition
