Tony,
The information is on the Schedule Page on the Sunriser Website and is open to all to see. It is not part of the Members Only site.
Hope that helps! We still have openings for two sopranos, two baritones and two mellophones.

Larry, all 4 contra spots are filled. The 4th guy will be down in May. Besides, I don't think you could handle carrying one anyway, you can barely carry a snare drum anymore.
I can still march! I just don't like parades!!!!!
-
Definitely a great rehearsal yesterday... and ya know, that girl Andrea sounds really cool!
Can't wait to do more drill this weekend at our first camp!!
We also have at least one opening still in the Contra line right?
I was very impressed by how efficiently the staff ran rehearsal and by how well the drill was executed, both music and marching. I was also impressed by you Andrea - yes - you are pretty cool!
I think there is a contra opening but no, I will not be filling it!

To ANY Sunrisers reading this: I did NOT teach Bobo to Jerome, we merely sang it once for him.
Good thing Chis - you would have had to get naked!!!! b**bs

Amy,
Great pictures! Thanks for taking the pictures AND for posting them!

Thanks for taking the time to give a review.

Check with Ski. Bucs took high drums that year. 81? Still the most talented hornline I've ever had the honor to listen to. I know alot of those guy (and girls) marched in 84 when I joined.
Sunrisers took High Drums in 1979 - Bucs had a great show to win DCA but not in drums. Sun also won drums in 1981.
-
Ahh 89! What a year! The remarkable thing is that both corps maintained their dignity and friendships thoughout both ties (88 &89) and there was a mutual respect between the corps. The only regret I had in 89 was that at finals they did not announce there had been a tie and explain that Bush had won because of the tie-break rule. Still a year filled with excellent corps.

OK you'se guys!
I don't have any pre 77 stories except for a couple of horror stories from the 72 Legion nationals in Chitown, but since I noticed Fran was looking in, here's one to jog HIS memories.
MBI went out to Allentown in 77 for its 1st real shot at DCA. On Sunday morning, we moved en masse to an area about 1/2 mile down the street from ASD (J. Birney Crum) Stadium to get one last run through before Prelims. As we were marching back to the lot where the busses were, we started hearing a lot of yelling. As we came around the busses, we saw Hawthorne in one spot, the Sunrisers in another, and in the middle agitating everybody were the Skyliners.
to make a long story short, amongst a cloud of dust, the 3 corps got into it, hands , sticks, flag pikes and rifles were flying everywhere, not to mention the f- bombs. We all sat on our busses in shock. I felt bad for Sun. They were the only one of the 3 corps who had women, since Sky and Hawthorne were still all male. I can't imagine how some of the injured went on for both prelims and Finals that day, but I did see people with black eyes and swollen lips going out for Finals.
That was one of the best shows I remember seeing, as Hawthorne made a big run at Finals, only to fall .05 short.. Sunrisers had a great show too, but what a way to remember my first DCA show.
Pat
That ain't quite the way I heard it. 3 guys from Sky (Butch Anderson, Wes Myers and one other) were jumped by members of Sun swinging horns and fists and connecting! Cos saw what was going on and turned the Cabs loose to assist 3 very out-numbered Skyliners. That's the version that was told to me, by Cabs and Sky alike. Again, I wasn't there, but that's what I was told. I have no idea what or who instigated the ensuing melee.
Ray
very correct ray
Not even close to the truth - except for Cabs coming down off the hill.

Matt,
That was an excellent review and as a Sunriser I thank you for the kind words! You did a great job of reviewing all the corps and so far, it is the only comprehensive review of the mini-corps competition that I have seen.
Thanks again!!!
