Email us at info@vkyao.org for details.
If I didn't live on the other side of the country, I would totally help! (Also, it also doesn't help (from my stand point) that I'm marching. But if I wasn't marching, and I could help, I would! Maybe next season. (I age-out this summer.))
Hope you guys get the help, and good luck this season!

The Pre-Season Power Poll has been released. Check the front page of the DCP-I site to get the full rankings!
Let the smack talk begin!
Is there a way to vote/how is voting done?

As someone who hosted a group for about 10 days in 2007, I'd offer this piece of information: Often, the school administration will work in their offices during the day. Folks in WV have a lot of the same cultural principles as those in Eastern KY and they may object to how people in drum corps dress during rehearsal. It may be in your best interest to prepare the administration about the standards of dress for corps members and maybe discuss with the corps administration the how the school wants the corps members to dress. For example, some corps make their membership wear a shirt at meal times and any time they are in close proximity to the school building.
Yes, this is a good point. Last year on tour, we (the corps I marched with) stayed in a Lutheran school in Ohio, I think, and we couldn't not wear shirts while even being on the school grounds. Some of the members did complain a little at first, but there were no problems.

They were't part of the guard but loved the year that Velvet Knights had the all girl cymbal line in hot pants. I think they were called the "sex cymbals"
What year?

Thanks for your interest. I thought Wikipedia had everything! Anyway, if you want, the website is http://wjmb.org
Apparently, Wikipedia, doesn't have information on everything. That's a complete surpirse!
But, sad to say, I can't go to the website right now because I'm at work and the site is blocked (just like most of the good websites, like games, etc. are blocked
, except for DCP of course ), but I will took a look when I get home, for sure. -
Oh, really? That's cool. Are they an actual band (with woodwinds), or do they just use brass? I tried looking them up on Wikipedia earlier and didn't get anything. But that is a BIG drop in membership, espcially for a group who has won so many championships. I hope they recover soon, though.
Ditto.

Yea, it doesn't seem right that they made a comment on the former employee. As far as I know, all other companies/work places do NOT comment on a former employee in a position when they, the employer, is rehiring in that position.

The Cabaliers
can't tell unless you look closely at the picture...or see it in person.
Yea, I couldn't tell what was worng untell you said something. The 'b' on the shirt does look like the 'v' in the corps logo/name in the upper left.

I'm totally in for it!!

howdy everyone,
I actually joined last year to keep up with scores/news during the summer. My wife and I both marched in a corps
style military band in northeast Ohio some years ago (dates are not important!). Anyone heard of the Warren Jr.
Military Band out of Warren, Ohio? Both of us have been and still are big fans of drum and bugle corps. It's been
fun to view all the polls, discussions, pictures, and especially the humor. Keep up the good work!
Welcome!
Sad to say, but I have never heard of the Warren Jr. Military Band. Were/Are they any good?

I like it, just to much white for me...

2007 Quarterfinals night. Cadets had just entered the field (for the first time).
Someone from the top of the stands yelled (loud!) "WHERE'S THE DOOR??"
Pretty much everyone cracked up. The Cadets then left the field (for what we learned later was The Great Hash Debate) but we thought at the time that Hopkins had actually heard it down on the field and didn't like it.
Yea, there was a guy sitting near were I was who had shouted out the same thing. I was at the top, although I don't know if we're talking about the same guy...
And then at Semis, when the Cadets were coming out onto the field, some of the other members of the corps I march with were shouting out "Hey Cadets, line my field!" and different variations of it.

Hi!
P.S>- I'm a fan of the Bluecoats.

To be more specific, how much time does a single player actually spend on the field? I would guess that less than 10 percent of the team spends more than 15 minutes on field during a game.
True, but from what I've seen before (both professional and some high schools), those 15 minutes can get kinda brutal. For example; look at Tom Brady, quarterback for the Patriots. He got hurt within like the first five minutes of their first game in the 2008-2009 season.

Ive been part of 2 DCI startup corps during my Junior Eligibility time. Both didn't make it to the field. Now that ive aged out, ive always wanted to be part of creating a Drum corps. I happen to live in maine, so basically the question is would DCA like to see a Corps come out of Maine? or at least a mini corps and grow from there?
Hey Moose! It's James. Any and all help to need from me to make this happen, I'll be around! Just let me know

I saw this poll on Marching Band Planet, under the percussion section, but I don't remember ever seeing it here. So, which is your choice for 4 mallet playing, and why?
P.S.- Stevens and Burton are really the only ones I know, so if theres others that alot of other people like, or if alot of people can think of any others, I'll add them to the poll.
-
What I would suggest would be if the school admins. have any special rules (such as where member, staff, etc. can and can't go, what can can't be used, stuff like that), make sure you find out in advance, and then make sure the correct people with the drum corps know these rules.
Just as a side story; last time the championships were in Boston in the '90s (I think '94, but I was like 5 then and don't really remember the exact year), the Cadets stayed at my middle school as their permanent housing site, the after they left, the field they used, let's just say, was not as good as when they arrived. The grass was worn out and stuff like that. Again I was 5 then and don't really know what the field was like before and after they were there, but that's just what my mother has told me.
Not saying anything bad about members of the Cadets or anything, that could have happened to any corps, but basically make sure the drum corps staying at your school knows the rules they should know while staying there. The only other thing I would say you can do (which basically already has been said) is if they (support staff, etc.) do need help with anything, just 1.)ask around every so often, and 2.) make sure they know they can ask you for any help if and when it's needed.

Some color guards that would have been good for this rule:
PR 2008
Bluecoats 2007
BD almost any year
Crown 2007
Feel free to add any others...
