Safe to assume you are the number one Mike, then?

Hello TT...I saw it live once as well. It was unbelievable, especially when I did not know they did it. That and SCV's bottle dance. Annnnnnnnnnd, a certain corps' sunburst????? Another all time classic....and another WOW

It would not matter because they shoved Indy down our throats. Indy is very aggressive and extremely good at bringing in big time events such as the NCAA Finals Men and Womens basketball championships. At least you have the two August shows in Allentown. I live near Pittsburgh and our season is already over as of June 23, where we had a whopping total of five corps at a show. There is only one show anywhere near here.

Great post. Too bad you are not Executive Director and CEO of DCI. I am so sick and tired of some of the decisions they make. No wonder Finals attendance has decreased by about 10,000 over the past decade. And the younger crowd thinks things are all hunky dory....

I have bottle caps that I saved. I voted once and went back in to vote again and all I could get was a " thank you for voting". I'm not sure but maybe we can only vote once using bottle capa? I have two more and will try again tonight. I don't give up that easily...

Count me as one of the ."some people". I would much prefer that to some what we get now. But the days of those classics are long gone, unfortunately.

Dare I mention the Bridgemen's drumline blindfolding themselves and then playing? That was before many of you were born, but something for the ages.

Finally something not so recent.....a salute to you.

Thank you for the information. I hope she is ok and back on the field. I went down to the fence for my annual " in your face" encore enjoyment and saw her in the ambulance. There was no sense of urgency, so I assumed it was not that serious. Another girl who was wearing a walking cast or boot walked over to the ambulance probably to check on her. They cancelled the encore and I lurked around for a while to see how soon they would transport her. I got tired of waiting and then meandered around the corps, busses and trucks. I do crazy things like that since I love being the corps in my own goofy way. Several years ago, a guy from Boston Crusaders was driving a tractor hauling pit equipment down the paved walkway at Baldwin on the other side of the field. It is a steep hill. I happened to be watching him and near the bottom, the tractor sped up for whatever reason and it tipped over. Equipment fell all over the place. It seemed like he was hurt in some way. People came to help him and he was taken to a hospital. I read somewhere where he suffered a broken leg.

At the Baldwin (Pittsburgh) show a Bluecoats guard member was injured near the end of their show. She was near the sideline when it happened and managed to get to the sideline where she sat until the end of their show. She was placed in an ambulance and I assume transported to a local hospital. Hopefully, she was ok. I am wondering how situations like that are handled. A corps member gets injured or sick and the corps is soon off to another show. If the corps member has to be hospitalized, how does he or she get back with the corps after discharge? Does anyone stay with them while they are being treated? I could not help but worry about that girl and am curious as to how corps deal with unfortunate things like that.

Same here....Spirit came out on fire at Baldwin (Pittsburgh). They have a great show. Now if they could only sneak some "Georgia" in there.....

My wow moment...Spirit's "girl in the red dress", if you can call it a dress. Worth the price of admission and then some.

Just checking to see if I can post in here using an Ipad. I was here a few years ago and got to lurking in here again, so I decided to get back in. Drum corps nuts are the best and I love the camaraderie. So now to see if this posts.....
