Great review. Didn't have the brats, not a mid western thing Ill ever try. I do agree that the venue does suck a bit but living here in Dubuque I can tell you there isn't much. Two of the 3 colleges have football teams...bad ones, but nice little stadiums much better than Senior HS, but like someone said, really bad parking. I really liked Spirit, chatted with good friends during Racine and Colt Cadets, saw the Colts, they were ok but my high school did the same type of show 14 years ago! Daughter was tired of sitting and had to walk in the grassy knoll area for the rest of the show but I did enjoy PR and Cavies. Hopefully this is a beginning for my daughter ..... her first drum corps show at 18 months old!

Who wrote the drill for SCV's '99 show?

PS - 1979 SCV 3rd 1969 SCV's highest score was 4th at the National Preview in NY but 69 was the Summer of Love was it not?! -

Seeing finals for the first time live it was great seeing two California corps going at it, although I was pulling for BD myself it seemed most of the crowd were SCV backers that night. They did impress though..... -
Best Year of Drum Corps
suncontra99 replied to brassmeaway's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
1988, 1997, 2004 Went with 88 because Madison had a good show, we had Phantom of the Opera, a good Cadets show, and Magical Mystery Tour II 97 Because the Cavaliers came out to California!! Plus I like all the shows that year, if only Les Etolies 98 show was in 97!! 2004, because it was my favorite year, enjoyed them all and traveled with the best corps possible, The Crossmen! Although I would show 1995 to people who have never seen the activity, just because it seems the most fan friendly. In the 70's 1978 -

Save your money for the Regiment Tour Video if they sell it. I imagine it will have all the goodies you folks are asking for. Again Congrats -

Congrats to Phantom Regiment, of course. Congrats to the dude who did their drill!! Did I not read before the season started that the guy who did their drill was young and given a lead position, with little experience, relative to others in the visual field? Also, Rick Valenzuela. Great job. -
Need Help finding a Database
suncontra99 replied to dcf06's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Hey Shaun, The website that you guys used that I did should have had all if not most of the alumni listed, even if only by name. I may have the original website but I didn’t know where it might be and if it's on a floppy, eegads I'm in trouble. Also you might want to go down to the Canos offices. There was a computer I used, not the new HP or Dell but slightly older. On this computer should be the whole database that I did because I would have entered all the info in first and then just copy the info to the website. Short of those two suggestions there is always the mounds of paperwork that had this info. One really old spreadsheet in particular, from the 80's plus odds and ends here and there. I know this doesn't answer your original inquiry but maybe it will help get some of that lost info back so you don't have to start from scratch. Other than that you could always ask Greg what they use. I'm sure it cost quite a bit but boy did that program do just about everything! PS - You should get on bringing all those old videos to the digital age. You'd be amazed. I remember seeing old film from the 60's and maybe the 50's, with other corps also like the Cadets and Cavies, one was in Soldier Field maybe, they might not have had sound though. I think its great what you and Nick are doing and wish you the best! -

Vicki Schaffer - Colts Cadets!! -
I found that most corps offer ways to offset your dues but that is about as far as most will go.
