Hey JC I took your advice & went to the Kelly site & got a cold weather mouthpiece for my Mell . I figure," how many times in my life am I going to play in Fenway Park ?" Would be nice if some sound comes out ! Mike D. St.Kevins

Hey Jim, You are right , the crowd will be on top of the game .Just like the old Boston GADIN ! Especially after Kevins ,Crusaders & The Dropkicks get them all wipped up ! The place will be crazy!!!! Now I have to learn how to program my VCR. Later, Mike D. St.Kevins

I really think the TV coverage is going to be good as far as showing the Drum Corps this time .I am hearing fifteen cameras .Don't forget that St. Kevins & Crusaders will be playing a long intro composed by an NHL music guy .That intro will lead up to the "Dropkick Murphys" singing "Shipping up to Boston" .I don't think this show is going to get chopped up too much with talk ! Fenway will be ROCKING !!!!! TUNE IN .........I think there might be a hockey game too. Mike D. St.Kevins

And Don't forget that The St. Kevin Emerald Knights is having their "Open House" on Jan. 10 at the Fore River Clubhouse in Quincy, Ma. Come & dig the tunes ,eat , drink & just be part of a really fun bunch of people ! All the Best, Mike D.

Very nice shots ! If you look at the first pic of the Cabs in the final strait just before the Rock. You can get some idea of the amount of people that turned out fot this parade. I know Linda took this pic from the top of the hill. that hill was covered with people ,no grass showing. I have done this parade ten times with Kevins & this is the first time I got chills when we came down the final run under the giant American flag. Was like marching into a stadium ! WOW , what a rush !!!! Thanks again for the super pictures. All the Best, Mike D.

I agree with everything you just said about Hanover .They did a great job. I was in the tunnel with St. Kevins .We were on next & digging "Get it On" ,very smooth job by the Lancers ! Glad you guys came to the show. Keep up the good work !! All the Best, Mike, D.

Hey Jim, The people in South East Massachusetts remember The Hanover Lancers .Your Corps put on very good shows up hear in the 60s & Drum Corps people do not forget ! If you want to see the type of growd that you will be playing to in the parade just go to www.stkevinemeraldknights.com The two parade pics on the front page are of Plymouth .The people all over the hill are at Plymouth Rock reviewing stand . Click on the front page videos to see what the show looks & sounds like .You guys are going to love this weekend ! All the Best, mike D.

Glad everybody is excited about the show. I don't want to put the whammies on things ,but it is 60 degrees up hear this morning !! Still bring the long-johns . Sunshine, no wind & about fifty degrees would be great for the parade. You know the show will be rockin !! Only days now , Yah Baby!!!! Mike D.

Hi All , Make your plans early. This is going to be a hot time in "BEANTOWN" ! All the Best, Mike D.

Well , this year will be the tenth Plymouth that I have marched . Last year was ,by far ,the coldest ever. This year just has to be warmer . some years it has been even warm . hope this is one of those.You have to admit that as cold as it was last year , the parade route was loaded with people. Bring the Long-johns, Mike D.

Yah Jim, The Plymouth weekend is BIG .You will play to a packed ,sold out ,Drum Corps house . What a rush ! The parade route is jammed with people . Your not playing to trees like some other parades . I know you guys are going to have a great time . See You soon, Mike D.

Hey Jim-F , Look forward to seeing The Hanover Lancer back in Massachusetts .Its been fourty years . I have a nice picture of the Lancers for you .The back cover of the New Bedford Whalers show program in 1969 .I will try to look you up in Plymouth at the parade or pre-show warm-ups . Mike D.....St. Kevins

I can understand Your point , but then you have to ask yourself the question . "Am I or my Corps in this activity to make money or to perform ?" If money is your thing ...."Always follow the Money" ...Like I said , I can understand your point. All the best, mike D.

Well , all of the corps you just named will have a chance to show their stuff in March. The St. Kevin Emerald Knights is running a "Buglers Hall of Fame " Regional Championship Show in Boston . March 20 ,2010 ,Florian Hall ,Dorchester ,Ma. So all of You Mini Corps & individual players , bring it on ! this is going to be BIG,BIG,BIG so get in early . All the Best, Mike D.

Hi All , This may sound crazy ,but I think people just might be taking them for granted . Thats the Cabs drumline ,they will be great sounding & look great doing it . Thats the way it has always been ,nothing else is expected , no surprise . Just think if they ever came out & really sucked , now THAT would make BIG news . Thats just the way the public is...... Just Saying, Mike D.

OK Everybody , The Championships are history . time to think about the big Plymouth Alumni Corps Show . 14 Years now !!!Must be a good one , Ya think ? While thinking about Plymouth ....the St Kevins Golf tournament is NEXT month . check it out ,you duffers !!!!!!!Will be a great time. All the Best, Mike D
