THANK YOU KEVIN AGAIN. You do such a good job. I wish you a safe trip home.
( LI Sunrisers. I think going on in front of a Large Crowd at the Championships. Under the Light's. Would have been a better choice. Showing how GOOD you are to the Fans. )
A number of our members have college classes on Monday. While they would have stayed if we we competing or if we had gone on first (as we have in the past) I could not in good conscience hold them until 10:30. With that, I did not want to perform with holes in the the corps.

I'd like to know why someone would give red flags to a person asking an honest question .And Jeff we know they where missing base drumers but from John;s review it did not affect there show ,So i;ll ask again ,Sunrisers have not been moving in scores as some others have ,Suns show is much better than a few corps above them as John said in his review ,So maybe you should all be looking around and asking the same question ,
While I love the passion of our alumni, please lets all be clear that these comments are NOT coming from the Sunrisers - the Sunrisers are going about our business, working hard and looking forward to performing at the Hurricanes Fanfare 2013 show this Saturday!
See you on the 50!!

When do you sell the drums, like what date must they be gone by?
They will hopefully be gone shortly after they are sold - if the buyer needs time to pick up I'm sure we could work something out.

DCA Williamsport Show Thread
in DCA - All-Age Corps Discussions
Posted
Long Island would be an excellent site if a concerted effort could be organized to support such an undertaking. There ARE a couple of great locations, Stony Brook being one of them, that would served DCA well. That, plus great restaurants, the beaches etc. would provide plenty of non-drum corps entertainment. Having said that, Williamsport has the desire and great people backing their show and I and the Sunrisers look forward to competing their in 2018 and 2019!
