It's not that people want Spirit to fail. I marched for the Colts in the past, and while people didn't want us to fail. We didn't really feel a lot of love coming from the community. It had nothing to do with how people liked us, but we were changing as a corps. This took several years to adjust to, and now people are starting to get it. I too believe that Spirit has been redefining who they are in the past couple of years, and in they are not quite as competitive as they have been. Don't worry, Spirit is still a great corps that provides a wonderful experience to their members on and off of the field.

I believe that there are enough people in the C. Ar. area to make a corps here successful. It will all depend on the support. A lot of people argued that Delta Brigade was not supported enough by the area. However, after talking with people involved, poor management had a lot to do with it. Maybe the area wouldn't support a top 12 DCI corps, but I believe that it could support an all age corps on some level, and I'm all about trying to find out. I would still like to talk to anyone in the area. If you are interested you can pm or email me: dross20@gmail.com I have a couple of fund raising ideas that could provide some initial start up money. I just need people.

Just found the bill that was passed in Arkansas last Fall, that allows charitable bingo!

sorry about that post being kind of random, just trying to get some thoughts out there.

Having a competing corps on the field at any level, DCI or DCA would be fantastic. However, I'm more realistic than that. If I can find even a small group of enthusiastic people to march a 20 or so member hornline then I would consider that a success. To field a full drum corps there would have to be busses, trucks, souvies, piles of instruments, sick amounts of money, tons of support, etc, etc. Lets try to grasp small concepts first. I'll start this post over. Hello All. I'm looking for people in the Central Arkansas area or surrounding areas who would like to join me in the task of fielding a small parade corps. I'm not opposed to growing into a field unit, but until a solid infrastructure is in place let's start small. The first task would be to aquire enough horns for a small brass ensemble. This ensemble would do parades in Arkansas. The members would be responsible for transportation, a member T-shirt and hat, and be available for rehearsals. All like minded individuals should post here, pm me, or email me: dross20@gmail.com This is very much a family activity, If you or your childredn would like to be involved then great! It would be a fantastic experience to march as a family.

Hot Springs would be fun. Especially with all of the different festivals around.

Hello, Would anyone here be interested in an all age group in the central Arkansas area? Obviously we would start small. Parade brass group even. Then move on to field shows and such. If you're interested post here or pm me. I would love advice and help.

I remember Kevin actually came to a couple of show in 2003 before he filled a contra spot. Yes little kevin marched contra for the second half of the Colts 2003 season. He's a freakin' BEAST. He was fun to tour with. I remember in his first show in Saline Kansas he almost missed the last set (nevermind the fact that he learned the entire show in 3 days on the contra) and felt horrible for it. I remember patting him on the back and congratulating him for accomplishing something that few other people could do.

Okay, I'll bite. So what happened with the Crossmen in 1976? Now I've just gotta know. And to add to the plate lines. The Colts have a pretty mean cymbal line as well.

There are no picnic tables or chairs at your barbeque's. Instead everyone is required to sit on the pavement to eat. Your mother has taken all of you drum corps t-shirts and has made a quilt out of them.

ATTENTION!!! Spirit Drum and Bugle Corps announces sudden opening in brass line. Interested, hardworking young people are encouraged to apply. Personal health plans are required.

As a Colts Alumn, I've got to say that this season is shaping up to be really exciting and can't wait to see them when they get to Arkansas. GET SOME!

The Colts are going to give me a freaking stroke by the end of the season. They're like the little corps that could.

Here is hoping the Colts break back into Finals this year!

Oh and did I forget to mention that Twit ran out of gas one night and I got hit in the head with my suitcase later on that night after someone said that god for saken word.

Hey, not cool. Everytime someone said the word in 03 something bad happened to me. My heart almost failed once, I got sun poisoning in my head, and it swole up with fluids, and then I was knocked off my podium by a water sprinkler. SO QUIT SAYING THE WORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Or atleast put me in a padded room surrounded by a nuclear bunker for 24 hours.

Thank God. I can go to sleep now. Also, Twit just got back from being repaired Yesterday, so luckily Twit will see another day. LOL

OMG. I just came off tour yesterday. I'm praying for all of my Colts family. Keep us updated.

I've just returned from ten days on tour volunteering with the Colts. The Post Cards are obvously in. However, only the side of the post card with the picture. Look in the next few days for them to show the side of the card with the correspondance. The show will then be tied together with the story line. Also, kudos go the the Colts staff for the countless hours of work put in over the last couple of weeks in the manufacturing of the props.
