I’m not saying it anymore because I said it last year and I think I put bad mojo on them.

I think that might be my favorite. This undying save the corps mission and to hell with the collateral damage.

Oh I said something to them. It was something like WTH is wrong with you? Those are 16 year old girls.

I was for two seasons 2000 and 2002 . Much different than juniors way back when. The worst thing I saw was these old men ogling the Capital Sound color guard in 2000. Absolutely revolting.

I had one instructor say”screw you” to me once and I left. I obviously came back but that’s unnecessary at any time. And counterproductive. We had an assistant drum major who wasn’t with the corps the whole winter, made up some cockamamie excuse as to why he couldn’t play a horn so in true Peter Principle fashion, they appoint him assistant drum major. FF to summer in some Godforsaken place and we were waiting around for something and a couple people weren’t at parade rest. So he says something stupid like “go to parade rest like we learned in the winter”. Well, me being well… me… I said “How would you know? You weren’t there in the winter.” Next thing I know the real DM is dragging me off the field.

Especially after 2022. The ballad was magical.

When they started the two tour stuff in 78, I knew that it was going to be my last year.

The weather is nice in the winter, the beach is nice and I like my house. But that’s about it. Hahaha I can’t wait to leave for the summer.

I forgot my black shoes once in Kilties and we put black electric tape over my sneakers. We didn’t have to do the entire shoe because we wore spats.

Jim once laughed at what a DI was saying to another Marine and he asked if something was funny. Jim said “Funny as hell, sir!” He ended up doing push-ups. He has a few funny stories from the Marine Corps. He worked in avionics and one day a REO griped the deceptive electronic countermeasures unit and said it didn’t work in the O.F.F. Position. 🤦‍♀️

I can handle hot living down here in Floriduh but I am going north for the summer this year. Three summers of swamp hot so it’s time for a little break.

Even my son has two. All the iterations of Southwind are gone and it seems to be forever. We know what happened to Cap Sound.. big fish eats little fish to survive.

Another oldie. But long dead. The Norwood Park Drum and Bugle Corps was formed in 1928 by William Widmayer, who was their director and first instructor. The corps was a community-based parade corps, located on the northwest side of Chicago. The corps was one of 14 started by Widmayer at the request of local community

I said that wrong as I often do. He made the reservation yesterday for July. 😂

Like I said, tough call.

The separation of the deeply flawed artist from their art is a tough call. I think Woody Allen and Polanski are despicable but I have to admit that I still watch their movies. And i didn’t flinch when Crown played Liebestod last year. https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20130509-is-wagners-nazi-stigma-fair

Two. Jim has two, also.

Jim made a reservation there. In April hahaha.

I walk about five miles a day so walking is good with me! I have a smart knee now. 😂 I picked tickets way up top just so I’d have to walk up a lot of steps. The water thing has me a little worried, though. I think I’ll get there early and buy a few bottles.

Yep. Inspection was always fun. <sarcasm off>

I just need water but that sounds like a plan.

Good point. ✅

Maybe I’ll stuff water bottles in my clothes like the Animal House guys at the Food King.

Oh no. That’s terrible. They really should at least have water accessible because some of us aren’t as young as we used to be.

I hope they allow you to bring in your own water because I get dehydrated easily.
