  1. No, i didn't

    i marched every year Fever was active (2003-07).... i wasn't planning on marching in 08 for financial reasons, and then Fever ended up folding around memorial camp....i DID try out for SCV for 09, but the only open bass was 5th, and my back and knees could no longer handle a 32...plus, i didn't have the money to march anyway

    would it have been awesome and wonderful to age out in anywhere? sure...but, i TOTALLY lacked the money to do so, and the only two corps i wanted to do it w/ were Fever and SCV

  2. I agree the Cavies are putting an incredible/clean drill out there. But......the arrangement is just "blah". I really have no interest in listening to the show again. It was that boring. I could watch the Cavies on MUTE for the rest of the year FWIW, and be happy :)

    sounds like pretty much every cavies show from the last 10-15 yrs

  3. i marched 5 years in the bassline, plus 3 in HS and a year on tenors in HS...i definitely have back pain from it. marched a 32" Pearl that was used by 1992 SCV in my sophomore year of high school...

    my first year in Fever, we had XL harnesses, and the way the shoulder part rested, it forced my shoulder blades back and down out of place...caused bruising for the first year or so after...

    in high school, i did bass 5 twice, then 3rd/4th basses, then tenors. in drum corps, i marched bass 5,4,3,4,4

  4. i'm staying...i think the string of changes will flow back towards a more "fan friendly" area...i think DCI is making a GREAT step in the right direction w/ their proposed changes for finals, etc for next year, and am very jealous that they were not in place when i marched... am i fan of everything going on these days? no. but that's ok. i don't have to be to love this activity and continue loving it for years to come... long live drum corps, DCI, and, especially, open class

  5. A day late,

    ALL HAIL!

    still one of my favorite memories from my ageout season, meeting up with Sinfonians from various corps around DCI on finals night under the stands in Orlando to sing and just generally enjoy the end of the season. Would love to hear that this is a tradition that has continued.

    if it hasn't, it NEEDS to!!!!!!!
