Just as it is in Corporate America. Me: Hey we need to have a meeting on that. My Boss: Yeah we do. But first we should have a meeting to set the agenda for that meeting. His Boss: Yes you're right. But perhaps for that meeting we need to have a pre-meeting to discuss the purpose of the meeting. Me: Screw it, I'll figure it out myself.

I get the feeling it's on Life Support.

Mercy. Some colorful reader comments.

Seems like a nice, well-qualified young man. Two things: 1. Bring back the long-coat classy unforms, please. 2. Think light hearted and whimsical again in music and show design.

Cavaliers: @Hook'emCavies in as Corps Director and Grand Poobah over all things Cavaliers. The DCP World was stunned, but only in that it didn't happen six years ago.

Taking this approach until more is known.

I was wondering why the heck a guy with a full resume of post-grad degrees would add Associates to that. That's like bragging to everyone, gee look at me, I came *this" close to making the Intermural JV Twiddly Winks team in college. Hire me!

Yikes, with the talk turning to SCV's situation, better get your "In before the close" posts in before the close.

@Grandpa Joe

Thank Goodness, Bless you.. You'd think it was Free Agent Day in the NFL around here.

I don't know Paul personally, but I certainly know of him having competed against those 70's Cavalier drum lines. We all knew your name. 🙂Our snares even warmed up before shows a couple of times together just to jam. Of course, our 3 snares didn't add much to your 6-8, but it was fun nonetheless to hang out and play. Former MMs from our small corps who went on to the Cavaliers spoke very highly of him and do to this day, his dedication to the corps and the activity itself. Obviously, those tales were true as his long resume' after his marching days would indicate. Chris, also. Congratulations on that career, Paul, both professionally and your tenure with the corps. Your credibility is top drawer with me and anyone ever connected in any way with the Cavaliers. Thanks for chiming in.

Have your drummers spayed or neutered. Rest easy, Bob.

Ok, one more smarta** joke for the day and I gotta get home.

Geesh, getting testy around here with no drum corps. I'm thinking about changing my DCP name to TheOneWhoDontKnowDiddlySheet just to stay out of trouble.

Ain't that the truth. If the Ayatollah was half as accommodating, I'd be a much happier camper. "WTF are you watching? THAT? Again? What about the lawn??" "Relax, honey bunch, I'll get to it right after Finals night. (or a week after that or so)"

An old pastime was after a bar closed, hanging around the parking lot before heading to Denny's to chow down and singing drum corps tunes. About 8 of us tried to do the Bottle Dance one night. That was a major fail. So glad that was way before cell phone video was around.

That's the way I always assumed it worked, at least I'd hope so. Outstanding leadership throughout the season. Anyone can be flashy, entertaining, charismatic and noticeable on a single night (or three nights).

Sutasaurus made it on to a t-shirt? Do I go to sustasaurus.com to get one?

Dino Lives Matter. You go, @hostrauser.

Absolutely. At least entertain us. You can set the world on fire once you've re-won some hearts and minds.

Ahh ok, gotcha. I misunderstood. That may have been around the time where MMDL.com dropped the videos altogether. Maybe BSG's guy who knows a guy who knows a guy can help. Good luck.

Did you go to this page specifically? https://marchingmusicdownloads.com/download/?_sft_download_category=2017

I think I've matured enough as a dino fan to now accept live animals on the field. Troop - you managed to lasso the sun. Get after dem wild broncos out there on the 50 yard line.
