  1. I couldn’t say but as we all know, their stories have been published in the Philadelphia inquirer. Seems like pretty strong footing but I don’t even play a lawyer on tv.
  2. Sounds like the other survivors have much stronger civil cases.
  3. I never thought it was a good idea for staff to date members but I saw it all the time way back when. I once had a staff member call and ask if I’d go to a party with him and I hung up the phone. I mean he was ancient to my twenty year old self. A thirty year old. I didn’t tell my mom what the call was about either because she would have 💩.
  4. You mean Nate but I knew who you meant. I wasn’t expecting much and it delivered what I expected. Don’t forget that Dan refused to speak to Tricia Nadolny several times.
  5. DCI posted audio from 1971 today. They sounded pretty darn good on that old plumbing. I forgot that they played a snippet of Greensleeves before I ever did. https://fb.watch/qSRM0zEc7i/?
  6. This is ugly no matter what the outcome. Luckily, hardly anyone knows or cares about the niche drum corps activity outside of a tiny segment of the population.
  7. I first saw it on a cow pasture that they held the show at in Metamora, Illinois. I told Jim that no one is beating that.
  8. I remember when I used to figure out how old I’d be in the year 2000 when I was a teenager. I’m not even going to think about 2044.
  9. I’m out of the loop about judging but you’re saying that people with no music cred are judging music? Yikes. 😳
  10. I can’t remember at all. I do remember that Briske and Rick Maass were chief judges. I marched with Rick’s son in Guardsmen. He looked very gruff but he was a very nice man. He truly cared about the kids and I think it said something that he trusted the Guardsmen enough for his son to march there. Ten judges seems like a lot to me, too, but maybe there were. I remember the ones who would walk down the line looking at feet in concert. lol 😂
  11. Jim had a certain corps director tell him that it was important that they had the ability to pay, stay, and play. That was the three major criteria.
  12. I grew up in a neighborhood with a lots of Hispanics. My best friend’s names were Salinas, Valdez, and Saenz. We didn’t think a thing about it. All the Dads were blue collar guys. We were poor but we didn’t know it because we were all were in the same boat. Same where I lived in Aurora. Where I live now is very antiseptic, if you know what I mean. I’m looking forward to being in Cincinnati in a real neighborhood for the summer. .
  13. I keep saying that. It really wears on my mind. I had people tell me when I was in RA that Sie Lurye and Mr. Warren(I’m sure you heard the same stories I did) put them on the straight and narrow and if not for them and drum corps, they’d have ended up in jail. Even the guys I marched with in Norwood told me they would probably have ended up in bad situations. Drum corps was for young people who couldn’t afford to purchase a band instrument or participate in school band. Or they didn’t have a band program at school. It was noble work. It didn’t help when DCM was gone and corps like Joliet Kingsmen were left with no performance opportunities and were gone. I loved those kids. I’m not suggesting that the activity should go back to that because that’s not going to happen. But giving these young people a hand up is also noble work and I think that’s what Bloo is trying to do. I hope they succeed.
  14. I’ll see Brasso and Mrs. Brasso Saturday in Naples. St Patty’s day parade.
  15. I don’t care where anyone places anymore. I just go and enjoy myself. I thought they were terrific last year. I loved Liebestod.
  16. Vuitton is not Poppycock. I know who he is. He’s not on here and he’s not trying to get back on. He thinks I’m crazy for still posting here.
  17. They were a hair’s breadth from second place last year. It’s tough for anyone to beat the leviathan lately. It’s been eight years this season, although we did have the two Covid seasons in there. We’ll say six competitive seasons.
  18. I didn’t read it but if it’s of benefit to the Canton area young people, more power to them. The underserved communities have been ignored for decades in the marching arts. A step back from when I marched, IMO.
