Would Whitewater hold similar feelings to the Mid West corps/fans?
It does for me.

Manning Bowl in Lynn has been a drum corps venue since the 1960s. There used to be a show there called the World Open, which was a two day event and some years featured over 49 drum corps in multiple classes, most if which were from Massachusetts btw. When I became involved in the activity, there were generally 3 or 4 shows held there each summer. Several years ago, the old cement "bowl" stadium was taken down. The new, modern stadium was built facing a different direction, but this location is still considered drum corps sacred land to this day. It is our Fenway Park.
74 Kilties rehearsed in the condemned Manning Bowl. The show was held in Lowell that year. That was the show the sprinklers came on twice, once before the show and once in the middle of McDuffy’s.

Only thing I disagree on is SARO not being hummable. I have to warn you. After the 4th or 5th viewing, I developed a serious problem where I just can't stop humming it. It's a real problem.
The struggle is real.

And the difference is not that big nor insurmountable. Big enough to keep Bloo down? Not hardly.
It’s a different approach. I think it will even out in the long run.

Why is bloo not doing well in drums this year? Getting beat by Crusaders? What the heck?
They were so good back in 2016
Well. Boston has pretty fantastic percussion. Watched them last week. They are fierce.

I have one somewhere too.
You know, those shirts were cheap. That’s why I bought one.

As others have said, DCI North at Ypsilanti. Pontiac Silverdome in 76. 25 years in Port Huron. There have been others, just not coming to mind right now.
I had a DCI North shirt for years. Bought it in 77.

DCI North was in Ypsilanti. Is that EMU?
Wasn’t my favorite.

Here’s my problem with Bloo’s vocalist. She is way too young to sing so soulfully ... and she can be with Bloo for 3 more years? That’s unfair ... to everyone else!
She is amazing.

It's just a bygone subculture. Where I live (NY State) there really is nothing left... simply because there is no interest and fan base to hold it together. The DCI and DCA seasons are fairly incompatible with the public school schedule... and even the field band circuit up here has a bizarre ignorance of DCI happenings.
Where I live in Dansville, NY (now you know where I live... dun, dun, dun) we happen to have one of only a few remaining competitive drumcorps left in the state (White Sabers). And they are fairly young with a remarkably limited following even right here in town.
People just aren't that into it these days. It lacks entertainment appeal to a broader culture and it really can't be (and shouldn't be) "fixed" to address the fall out. It is actually better for the activity to just have fewer healthy groups and inspire interest from there for what it is.
Just my opinion on it... From the drumcorps rust belt of America.
I have my name and where I live on here. I figure there’s only about ten psychos on here.
You’re in White Sabers country. Nice corps.

Like I said... 128 to 135...
To 150...
+4 this year.
Running out of field space!
I remember they went to 135 because they said it would fill three buses.

Went from 125 to 135 to... Where are we now?!
Now let's not get greedy for spots that didn't exist 15-20 years ago.

Unfortunately, Morgan didn't make it to '88. I believe he aged out in '86. Too bad he wasn't there for their win. Such an amazingly nice guy and a great talent. Funny as ####, too.
Except when he wasn’t messing with 13 year olds while being the director of Capitolaires.
Oh, and he went to prison.

Patriotic encore for the 4th. Different, but I like it!
That was the DCM arrangement of America the Beautiful. I played it many times. I was singing the mello part in my great room.

I won't be surprised if SCV beats BD tonight. There were some issues I heard in BD tonight that frankly surprised me (a few intonation issues in the brass), and I still think some of those transitions between songs are awkward.
Me either. What a treat we are getting this year! Thanks to all the performers!

I don't think it's unbeatable. Is it good? Heck yes. Is it going to be top 3? More than likely. I just don't see them as untouchable. I do think it'll be less than a point between them and SCV tonight.
Great but definitely not unbeatable.

They marched true so it was probably quite refreshing. And washed some of the stank off those kilts lol
