Yeah, weird, ain't it? For once, I agree with him, too ! -
Is Surf Ready To Go WC ?
grenadasmoothie replied to rpbobcat's topic in DCI Open Class Corps Discussions
The one consideration I don't think I've seen in this thread yet is the most important one of all - The kids ! Look, from everything I hear, Surf provides their kids with an excellent experience every summer. If they can keep doing most things the way they do them now, AND get some WC cash, that allows them to make things even BETTER for their members! So it seems to make sense financially, the kids get at least as much out of participating as always, and the organization's strong enough (No, I don't have proof - While I don't actually KNOW him, I've met Bob a few times, and I trust that he would only be doing this for the right reasons) - So, um, GO SURF ! Have fun playing in the big-boy sandbox next year -
Worst Colorguard Uniforms
grenadasmoothie replied to crfrey71's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Yeah, um, unfortunately, the unis you described above have been sold off and replaced by something a bit more conventional - Pretty, to be sure, and very effective, but I was one of the weirdos who liked the "Ninja" ones. They were meant to be sorta Picasso-ish and Dali-esque from what I was told, going along with the "Sketches of Spain" theme of the show. And, yeah, "Ninjas on acid" is pretty apt. I think someone has an album out on the web somewhere from the 6/21 Wildwood show, if someone wants to see for themselves. . . . . -
PAL Buccaneers?
grenadasmoothie replied to Northern Thunder's topic in DCI Open Class Corps Discussions
While Bridgeport PAL didn't perform at the Bridgeport show, they did send an honor guard out for the national anthem, and they had a recruiting table set up, so I guess they're still pluggin away ! And I THINK I saw a picture of them form the next day's parade in the local paper (Or was that last year?). -
Lawernce, Mass 7/26
grenadasmoothie replied to DCAforLife's topic in DCA - All-Age Corps Discussions
Yup, this sure looks to be a fun one - Got our tickets, & directions from the fried clam shrine Woodman's ! Hopin' for a great show from all (But, well, there's no hiding who I'm rooting for - GO CABS ! ) -
All-Time Favorite All-Girls Corps
grenadasmoothie replied to KeithHall's topic in Historical Junior Corps Discussions
Ok, then - How 'bout the Colonnades, from Fairfield, CT ? As far as my vote, I had to go with Arbella (Though they kicked my mixed corps' butt as bad as the Ventures did!). -
Any scores from Clifton yet?

44th Annual Drum Corps Grand Prix
grenadasmoothie replied to Cabsleadbari79's topic in DCA - All-Age Corps Discussions
Relax, George knows I kid. Actually, Bridgemen were the audio highlight of my time spent in the bowels of the stadium Saturday night - Man, I was jumpin' all up n' down to "William Tell" . -
44th Annual Drum Corps Grand Prix
grenadasmoothie replied to Cabsleadbari79's topic in DCA - All-Age Corps Discussions
Yeah, but that picture was, obviously, considering "Mr. Lavelle's Banana Band" is on the field, taken pretty early in the evening. By the time I sat down hours later, the stands looked pretty much packed out to the 5's or so. Even so, for all of you who enjoyed yourselves more than you even expected you would, I have a very simple request - Bring some friends next year ! -

Showers
grenadasmoothie replied to Fran Haring's topic in DCA All-Age Corps and Alumni Corps Historical Forum
I'm too lazy to read the rest of the thread, but, in the 80's, THE worst showers were at Torrington, CT ! The men's room next to them had a big long trough instead of individual urinals, and it was always getting clogged up, and out in the bathroom AND in the showers there was always like three inches of "liquid" on the floor. I'm getting queasy just remembering it. -

Don't forget "LA is My Lady", and how 'bout "Georgetown" ? ! ('85 & '86 ? ? ? ) -
Juniors in the Grand Prix lineup
grenadasmoothie replied to wishbonecav's topic in DCA - All-Age Corps Discussions
Gee, seems like a no-brainer for me - Big crowd, close to home, no pressure. And, since in my little world it's all about me, a chance for ME to see them (Don't get me wrong - I've attended quite a few 2 & 3/now "Open Class" shows - It's just that not many other people do) -

grenadasmoothie replied to Cabsleadbari79's topic in DCA - All-Age Corps Discussions

grenadasmoothie replied to KeithHall's topic in DCA - All-Age Corps Discussions
I didn't see an answer to this, so - YES, I believe it IS. I think the spanish title is "El Cumbanchero" or something like that. Gawd - I guess that means I go that far back, too -
