Guess Who?
Fran Haring replied to NanciD's topic in DCA All-Age Corps and Alumni Corps Historical Forum
Two of the best ever! Howver, the guy on the right has the distinction of having his name mentioned in the Dead Sea Scrolls. Fran -

The one bad thing about Rochester Stadium
Fran Haring replied to drumlaw80's topic in DCA - All-Age Corps Discussions
Honestly, if the Rochester powers-that-be ever add a few thousand more concert-side seats to Paetec and make the other improvements they're talking about.... I could envision Paetec as a near-permanent site for the championships. The city is a great host, no doubt about it. Of course, that means Allen Buell would never get to take another day off for the rest of his life, but what the heck. Fran -
Sunrisers Hall of Fame Announcement!

What Tony said!!!! Good to see the old Sunrisers "Jersey Crew" well-represented, with Ray Yenshaw and Milt going into the Sun Hall. Fran -

The one bad thing about Rochester Stadium
Fran Haring replied to drumlaw80's topic in DCA - All-Age Corps Discussions
OK...... I'm thinking that perhaps we can add a row or two of seats on the field, in front of the stands, like the row or two of seats (folding chairs, usually) that you see courtside at basketball arenas. These would be VIP seats. You could charge, say, $500 per seat, with DCA getting half. And the other half payable to me. Good idea, right? Fran -
Caballeros Open House 2009 Season
Fran Haring replied to cabscontra's topic in DCA - All-Age Corps Discussions
Like the old days!!!! "What are you doing this summer?" "Oh, not much... probably just hanging around." "WRONG. Get in the car... you're playing soprano this summer!!!!" LOL Fran -
Sayre, is that the story of the Troop's DM being the only DM to adhere to the flag code at a recent retreat/awards ceremony? If that's what you're talking about, I agree 100 percent... that was awesome. I'm not sure of the details of that story, but it was interesting. My apologies if those details have been posted already on this thread. Fran

It would be interesting to see how many members of the Hurricanes actually have those names. "Hi.... I'm Hurricane Laura. I play mellophone." LOL Fran

Good points, Gary. And as Dick Pronti has said..... any bid for the DCA championships also has to take into consideration a venue for the I&E/mini-corps show. The current venue for that event is excellent, IMO. Fran -
Guess Who?
Fran Haring replied to NanciD's topic in DCA All-Age Corps and Alumni Corps Historical Forum

Or the "Blazing Saddles" version: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and Duck..... Fran

Big Thanks Jeff De Mello for DCA Clips
Fran Haring replied to Ben Martinez's topic in DCA - All-Age Corps Discussions
OK.... note to DCA: We loved the videos!!! Fran -
I hear that, Jeff.... Barbara and I had a great time being around the Renegades at the North Carolina weekend in 2005...met a bunch of good folks there. And Lee, too. I hope we get a chance to do so again sometime! Fran

Drum corps conspiracies...
Fran Haring replied to ScarletKnight's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
I've heard that if you play the Cadets' 2006 show and synch it up to "The Wizard of Oz" somehow the music fits with the movie's story. Fran -
The one bad thing about Rochester Stadium
Fran Haring replied to drumlaw80's topic in DCA - All-Age Corps Discussions
Yeah... that was a pretty bizarre setup. The first 10 to 15 rows of seats on the 50-yard line were among the worst seats in the house. A mile away, or so it seemed. It was like we were in some sort of alternative universe or something. The 10-yard-line seats were better than a bunch of those on the 50. Honestly, though..... to date, that Frontier Field PA system is the best one I've ever worked with. Great sound, in "real time".... no delay. Fran -
Need help-------Legal or not legal
Fran Haring replied to John Mayer's topic in DCA - All-Age Corps Discussions
Oh man..... that was awesome!!! We were sitting in the upper deck... you could hear that street beat echoing off the back wall and the mountain behind that wall. You definitely knew that SKY was in the house!! Fran -

Paetec is light-years better than Frontier Field, but Lee has a good point here. A bit closer would help. IMO. Fran -

Fran Haring replied to John Mayer's topic in DCA - All-Age Corps Discussions
I agree 100.... OK, 1,000 percent!!!! I love seeing/hearing the Cabs and others come on the field to their street beats.... it's like a show within a show. And....like Donny said..... it's something DCA does differently from DCI. Fran
