Much love to Emily right now. I am very happy to hear she is doing alright. Thanks for all the updates and communications from my/our Brass friends.

Definitely a great shot of the CorpVets' DM!

Sooooo ... no one can help me track down a copy of the picture? Don't mean to be a pest ... my bad for not asking a few years ago. ... just curious if someone can help. B) Thx.

Yes ... and will do! In fact, the pict I'm looking for is Stoli, me, the Govies-DM - John Mayer and his beautiful wife, Tamara.

Excellent ... thinking back to our trek out a few years back to march with you. What a blast! I can't believe it will be three years already. Do you guys know who I might talk to to get a copy of a picture someone took of our crew (Chris or Greg, I think) back then? It was cycling on your picts *three years ago* post parade, but I can't find it in your site archives now. Shame on me for not asking sooner. :) If you can help, I'll give you more details about the pict I remember!

Thanks, JS. b**bs I have to admit, what you wrote here is exactly what crossed my mind when I read the post about our "large" performers. Chesticles aside, I think the horn makes me look thin. I know this is looking ahead, but I might just wear one of those to banquet next year.

Heya, Curt ... I'd be happy to introduce you two. I keep thinking you and Roark have to meet, as well, as your stories are similar ... coming back to drum corps and marching after an extensive hiatus. B) And to the rest of you getting worked up over the great picture S1 posted? I know a great oboe player I'd love to have march with us too.

Tentative forecast for St. Paul, Minnesota on Saturday, February 3, 2007: *High ~ 4F *Low ~ -1F These temps are excluding any potential windchill. This is going to be interesting. B)

Norwegian Wood?

ummm...... yes That's Tremendous!

That's a TREMENDOUS idea!! :) . . . . . still waiting! I would use caution though. I mean, look what a buzz kill the other B.S. pictures were when they were posted ... on the TREMENDOUS Thread! b**bs Sorry I didn't get around to giving you a call after we caught up at the grill. When I got back to where the rest of the Tremendous gang had been hanging out, most folks had dispersed to bars around town or back to the camp ground. Burt and I headed back to the camp ground as well for more Schell's, a few toasted marshmallows and s'mores, some fire juggling (however .. not naked, like last year), A LOT of good laughs . . . . . and a few more Schell's!!

Why YES! I believe it is you. b**bs Nice jorb. I'm leaving the office now ... see you in San Pedro for the Tremendous Departure! B)

Well, our first priority is getting tents set up in the dark. Some people will likely try to hit the bars after getting settled into the campsite. We usually plan on hitting the South Festgrounds on Saturday night for our Annual Corps Banquet! . . . . that follows our Annual Corps Meeting at the camp ground, which follows the Annual OktoberFest Parade. You get the idea. :) What I am trying to say is that it may be hard for all of us to make plans with all of you tonight, unless you want to take the shuttle across the river to Pettibone! :P Saturday day or night is a much better bet for hanging out and helping us celebrate our victory over you! b**bs

May I kindly remind you all . . . . this is a TREMENDOUS BLAST! thread. j/k TREMENDOUS BLAST is camping! And what a gorgeous weekend for camping it will be!!! Perhaps there will be space at Pettibone if you're interested in joining US!! WOOT WOOT! b**bs
