Hello Mr. Big Adam Thank you for writing this post. It seems Fusion is being attacked for no reason except for vanity. I do however disagree with you on one point.. Chairman Dances was a piece music intended for dance. I hope this link works...... Olive

So what does this mean for the Buccaneers? Olive

I'll be there!!! What corps will be there?

I recently read this...."Excellence is the result of caring more than others think is wise, risking more than others think is safe, dreaming more than others think is practical, and expecting more than others think is possible." Olive

I thought this thread was going to be a discussion about the future of the activity, especially on the senior side. This thread seems to be a validation of whatever group of guys can get together to reminisce and play their horns and bag their drums. The term Drum and Bugle Corps has pride and class in it. Do we need to give credit to every group? Can there be some sort of process that can let them carry the title Drum and Bugle Corps? My apologies if this is offensive to anyone, but let's bring some sort of stability to this please. Olive

This is great news!!! We can't wait until Toms River.

Hello It was a beautiful night for drum corps. The Cabs organization certainly know how to bring good weather to the shows they host this year. Congrats on a well run and engaging night. After hearing all of the offseason turmoil from the Bushwacker organization, it was great to see them out on the field. The show seems considerably challenging for a fairly inexperienced drum corps. I wish them the best of luck moving forward and trying to finish top 10. It was just wonderful to see Sunrisers on the field again and doing something that works for them. Les Mis is very Sunrisers and when all of the performers are all on the same page the corps is going to be a Class A contender in a year or so. Windsor Regiment is a lot of fun. Probably the most musical of all the corps this evening. My family and I were surprised at the big gap between Fusion and Windsor and I had to explain "It's DCA mom. Louder is better" Fusion can put some sound out for such a small hornline. That must have something to do with the size of the drumline. What a drastic turnaround in battery from the previous few years. The show is a perfect Class A program. Maybe too perfect. This corps could probably contend with some of the open class. Does anyone know why they decided to stay in Class A this year? The reports we were hearing about the Cabs are not true at all. They are absolutely a contender. Bringing the great Frank Ponzo out of retirement and MARCHING......WOW!!!! He sounds better than ever.Once this show gets clean, look out!!! Hurricanes drumline is a surprise for the good. These guys have hands and have talent. The guard is sooooooooo good. It made me want to take out my rifle and get back on the field. What can you say about the Reading Buccaneers that hasn't been said in other threads. I was surprised at the spread and placement in guard. I think the Bucs guard is just as good as the Hurricanes' (definitely better than cabs) if not better. Not a huge fan of the ballet bars but once the program gets cleaner towards the end of the season there's a chance they could take first. Can't wait to see what happens when Minnesota Brass come out east! Does anyone know if the Toms River show is happening? Rumors were swirling in section 4 this weekend that it wasn't.
