That's right! Just five smackers for 5 DCA finalists and 3 great exhibition corps. As a Bridgeport native, I unofficially officially invite you to my fair city!

Got my hotel res, loaded up the EZ-Pass already - See YOU there :smile:/> ?
Hurricanes '84 through '89 myself then Cabs '90 and '91 (WE WAS ROBBED ;-) !). Still working souvies, gate at their shows, honor guard last couple years, whatever I can, for Cabs. Always loved Sun, can't wait to see them back and strong in Open!
Well, if we're extending our recommendations to Cape May, maybe I'll see some DCP folks at the Rusty Nail! Arctic cold Yuengling drafts, chairs in the sand, and usually some live beach music
Guess I AM old now. I marched with two of these guys. Congratulations to Vic & Ray! Both of you have contributed so much to the activity, and, in different ways, continue to. I'll raise a glass to ya both tonight!
"Most Outstanding Unit In The Line of March" Caballeros
"Best Brass Band" Windsor Regiment (Guess you guys fooled 'em with
the brass-finish horns :tongue:/>/>/> )
"Best Drum & Bugle Corps" 7th Regiment
"Best Drum & Bugle Flag Corps" The Muchachos
Congratulations to all the winners, and to EVERYBODY who put up with the cold and, I hear, wind! On to Wildwood now! (There were a bunch of HS band and string band a/k/a mummers awards also - The Springfield Republican has an article in its Holyoke section with all the winners).
Let's be a little careful here. Please consider that nobody's going to get rich selling off buses that are decades old. And let's not assume they even intend to not need as many instruments as an exhibition group or whatever they're planning as they do now. Not too many buyers for G bugles, anyway.
And I second what's been said here already - Go "out" with a bang, Empire!
Man, I wish I could make this camp to see for myself how geat things are going! If YOU want to see firsthand how Cabs are picking up where they left off AND THEN SOME, make your plans - Get in touch with Mike!!!!!!
Now, if they could only bring Ken Bell back to play the "Bring him home" mello solo :worthy:/>/> .
Of course, he'd have a small problem these days not exceeding their age cap, I guess :tongue:/>/> .
You're right, Buff! That show concept sounds amazing :w00t:/> ! And it sounds like August's Cabs' momentum is carrying right into '13! I can't wait for June :smile:/> . Def looks like another audience fave from the red team next summer!
