  1. I’ve been there. It makes Whitewater look big. It’s too small.
  2. I’ll bet @rpbobcat can answer that question. Both he and Jim work on stadium projects in different fields of engineering. I’ll bet one thing that they can agree on is that the projects are seldom finished on the initially assigned deliverable date. Jim has worked on Hard Rock in Miami, The Niners stadium in San Jose, Raiders stadium in Las Vegas…more I can’t remember… he’s working on the Bills stadium as we speak.
  3. I’d love that but they aren’t asking me 😂
  4. UIUC would work, too. Right on 74/70/57. Of course, I would LOVE that. Cincinnati is 1-1/2 hours away. Paul Brown stadium or whatever they call it now. Nippert Stadium/UC.
  5. Ooh boy that would be the cluster#### to end all cluster####s. But the Colts aren’t going to be in the playoffs so they should have plenty of time.
  6. Shooting the messenger happens a lot in drum corps. Stuart Rice was sounding the alarm on you know who for twenty years and everybody said he was crazy. Which he may have been but he was right about that.
  7. The odds on that have to be pretty slim on that ever happening.
  8. That happened to Capital Sound in 1999. They had to use Freelancers old uniforms the entire season.
  9. I especially remember Madison having those. It reminded me of the mellophonium I played in junior high school marching band in lieu of our concert horns. It was a strange beast. In high school, horn players played the model of the day (1971 -75) b-flat mellophones.
  10. Of course, this was over 50 years ago but I saw all the old trophies and a uniform of the Skokie Indians displayed at the Skokie American Legion post on Lincoln Ave. There was even a picture of Frank Arsenault there.
  11. I’ll bet Bill Ives could hook you up. He said he got so many uniforms from one disbanded corps, that he could have fielded a corps.
  12. I’m thinking Ken Norman may have had a lot of those horns in the case of the Kilties. There were uniforms floating around everywhere from lots of defunct drum corps. . Many of them are in Bill Ives’ drum corps museum. Jim donated a Kilts uniform to Bill that he got from a Kiltie brother. Bill has so many uniforms that he can’t bring them all to Indianapolis. Some people just want them for some reason. I had no problem selling my Royal Airs reunion corps uniform. And they offered more than I paid for it. I don’t have any of that stuff anymore. I decided to travel light when I made the big move in 2021. Got rid of corps jackets, dozens of yearbooks… so much stuff. Less stuff for someone to get rid of after I kick it. Anyway, people want this stuff for some reason unbeknownst to me.
  13. My favorite B1G marching bands have sousaphones and I’m fine with that. I wasn’t suggesting having them banned from the planet. I’m not a fan of drum corps using them.
  14. I’m good with both if they’re used well and it’s musically appropriate. I really didn’t care for the sousaphones. If I never see another one in drum corps, that’s fine with me.
  15. There’s a hundred stories just like that in the naked city about dead drum corps. The Kilties have a sad story about hiding equipment, trophies and uniforms from creditors. I don’t know what happened with the Guardsmen. I was out of the loop by 1982. I don’t know if it was financial or loss of staff because of $$$. I hope Boston has cool jewelry again at the souvie stand. I’m still going to buy some of that hahahah.
  16. I read her obituary and this is a real loss. Her philanthropic work was amazing. Rest in peace.
  17. Next up is pretty cool to me. I always end up watching the next video.
  18. I’ll take that bet. They’re gonna win. I just have to stop picking them to win and they’ll win. So I’m not picking Boston to win this next year.
  19. Guardsmen had pvc sticks with streamers on each end that were rifle-sized in 1978. DCI said we’re to blame/applaud, you pick ‘em, for the use of props because of the guardhouse.
