It was indeed.

I didn’t know there was a DCM in 1976. My memory must be getting faulty.

Here’s a picture of The Thing.

Looks like it was edited.

The grammar and spelling were better from YEA. “Corp”?

That’s true. I read an article that said that uv rays can penetrate your clothing.

Ok I stand corrected.

Oh I am so there for that.

The Thing was Mercury Thunderbolts and St. Pat’s merger.

I know that rule. You may have half their name in your landscape in your front yard.

That was in 1974 and I don’t know the details but I think the 501c3 was grandfathered from The Thing and before that, St. Pat’s Imperials. Just spitballin’ here but I know it had to be something like this.

Nope. You can fill holes with DCI mms after championships.

Twice. White Lake, Michigan and Centerville, Ohio.

I was wondering if RB “owns” Pioneer. He’s been in charge since day 1.

I think it was from about ‘99 to ‘02. And then DCM wasn’t DCM anymore.

Kiltie Kadets, Wausau Pages, Bridgemen Kidets...

Get your St. Jude medal out for this project.

I’ve been told they had a tremendous turnover rate.

I don’t have those skill sets.

In WGI, they would have been moved down (or up) as their scores seemed to fit. I’ve been arguing this point for at least two decades. Probably longer. I guess I’ll dig into the archives here and bring up DCM. Division 2 corps (now open class) would regularly beat Pioneer and not make finals but every single open class corps (now world class) would make finals. And why do you think that was? I’ll give you one guess.

I’m not at all sad for him.
