My first car was also a Rambler, a 1963 2 door station wagon with those same push buttons. I paid $17 for it and then had to put new brakes and a rear transmission seal. I wouldn't wish that car on anyone, but it got me to rehearsal, school and lots of other places. This would have been about 1971. Greg

Well if you referring to my son, since he is in BD, don't think so. :-)

<brag warning> And the tuba winner not only had a 3 point spread over the runner up, he had the highest score of any brass or woodwind player. :-) And for Mav's benefit, he is the son of a Royal Cavalier alumni. ;-) <brag off>

When, where or will a schedule for the I&E competitions be posted online before this Sunday? Greg

I vote for both of the same reasons, plus my wife is traveling in Devils Food and says they are getting better and better. OK so I'm not being scientific. :-) Greg

Me neither. And when I came home from the 76 tour, went almost straight to boot camp, so no end of year tour banquet, home coming show or anything. Of course, that is what my son is going to do this year. Marine Corps boot camp end of August. :-) Greg

What night is the age out ceremony in Indianapolis? Greg

Blue Devils. Well, I'm biased since my son marches in the "line".

We will also be having a fundraising dinner at Baja Fresh in Oxnard after rehearsal. Pick up a flyer from the registration desk.

We do, but due to various logistical issues, they are not available this weekend.

Because of conflicts at Oxnard High School this weekend, Mystikal's March 21st brass rehearsal will be held at the "old" Oxnard High School campus in the Oxnard Police Activities League facilities. Registration starts at 9:00 and rehearsal starts at 10:00. Oxnard PAL is located at 350 South K Street, Oxnard, CA 93030. Nearest main cross street is 5th. Google Map link to Oxnard PAL We have openings in all brass sections so come on out, bring your horn and meet the staff. Greg Ramsey Mystikal Youth Arts Organization

Not exactly Drum Corps housing, but Royal Cavaliers Youth Band were on our way to Casper to perform with the Troopers in 1971 and we had to stop at a KOA campground somewhere I think in Montana. We arrived after dark and and just laid out on the ground. We were coming from the Seattle Seafair parade and shows. Obviously we were camping under the stars. Middle of the night there came some screams from the girls area. The rumor was they has seen some bears near where they were sleeping. Next morning we woke up to find we were next to a pasture and there were cattle grazing nearby. .. .. ,, Well it was funny as hell at the time. :-) Greg
