I cannot remember what the exact amount was, however I do know that my student was offered contracts in both Legends and PR. PR was less expensive and that's where he is today. PR was a better fit for him although he had a good experience at the fall camp with Legends.

Pacific Crest is. They are on now.

Okay, Oregon Crusaders are the real deal. I see what all the hype is now. Loving it and that's just from watching on my phone!

Typically if you go to the corps website, they will list their housing site on their calendar.

I just click on the Watch Live under events on the homepage and it takes me to the feed.

Thank you for all the pictures! Much appreciated!

I have always enjoyed/appreciated most every corps in person more than what I see from video. Phantom is no exception. The one exception I've had this year was when I saw SCV in Rockford. It was a harder run that particular night due to the wind catching their props but I think overall I had built them up higher in my mind than where they were at the time. I suspect when I see them again in Nashville, the run will match my expectations.

I would like to know that as well! Haha

One of my friends, also a band director, said he has 9 students that have marched corps. More of them are woodwind players than brass players. She just needs to get a mouthpiece and start buzzing. Definitely go for it!

Cleaning and changing, but I'm not sure when the changes will be revealed. At any rate, I too hope to see the gap shrink.

So, I saw Phantom in Rockford. It was a rough run. They had some equipment issues and the mojo just wasn't there. Watched on Flo Marching the Minneapolis run and definitely better. Talked to my marcher and he said it was their best run thus far. Yesterday I decided to surprise him at Madison. Another really good run. They are excited. Momentum is happening. They have 2 days to work, add, change. They are young but working their tales off. Cant wait to see this corps develop this year.

Yes! I think I might have to sell a kidney or some plasma to keep this up. Going to Nashville with his mom and finals WEEK! Have never been to more than just finals. His mom thought we should go and I didn't protest. :-)

You're welcome. You are going to be a great teacher. I just know it. :-)

I never marched. Back in the late 70's, I remember my band director saying that he wanted to take us to a drum corps show. I had no idea what it was, just knew it had something to do with marching. I fell in love with DCI that night. I played clarinet and was incredibly uncoordinated so auditioning for a corps never occurred to me. I regret that somewhat. I had a few years when I wasn't as involved although I loved the PBS and ESPN years. Where ever I taught, I always introduced my students to corps through championship videos. Most of them had never heard of it. Now, many years later, I have a former student marching his first year. He is like a son but is also a friend. Tomorrow, I get to sit in the stands and watch him and his corps take their home field in Rockford after a very emotional and exhausting week. I'll watch him march on the field, and pursue his dream of marching in DCI, all the while remembering when I first introduced him to the activity and when I took him to his first show. I'm pretty sure I'm going to cry like a baby. Sorry this is so long and emotional. I just needed to share with people who might 'get' it. Thank you!

That was gorgeous. Thank you!

Day after tomorrow, SCV and the no coats. AND it's PR's home show. I can't wait to be there.

Sad that there is no report on this tonight.

There is a judging panel listed on PR's calendar.

They are on schedule, en route to Oklahoma now. I think it's just an instant encore right after each corps performs. Seems like I saw them post that they will perform together again Friday in Rockford.

Those pages are so cluttered, its hard to catch everything. Thanks for your prayers. I've been visiting with one of the marchers the past hour. They are trying to heal and are so touched by everyone's care and concern. Don't beat yourself up, just keep praying.

What is this social life you speak of??

Love the fireworks in the background.
