thanks Laura see you Friday !!!!!

Dear Cabs, Congrats on your 60th season. I was here for the 30th it was a blast and I'm still hanging in there. I guess that makes me old LOL I think it just makes me lucky!!!! The people I have met during the last thirty something years have become part of my family. Thanks Cabs for these great years. I'm looking forward to celebrating the corps 60th anniversary and having the opportunity to perform in 2006. See you there!!!

A Class act. Played next to him at Cos's Funeral. No matter what happens this weekend A Class Act.

I am just waiting for Jeff to come on and say they are all nice places but have they placed a bid. One poster(forgive me i don't remember their name) asked what the criteria was for placing the bid. Is there a place where we can go and find that information? My guess would be the DCA web page. As far as Winston-Salem I think that the geography and the time of year may cause DCA some opportunities. DCA competitive corps especiallly in the Northeast, but I'm sure there are a good amount of them in all "all age Corps" have a large percentage of college students in their corps. Most college's are starting in the last week of August and students now are checking into school and then getting some sort of transportation to the DCA Championships. A three to six hour drive on the friday before Championships is doable for most of the college crowd. A 12 to 15 hour drive or the added expence of a flight to Winston-salem may cause some second thought about joining our respective corps. I believe this to be one of the reasons the Juniors end so early in the summer.it is out of respect of the students that are their membership and the educators who are their recruiters, in addition to facility availability. Maybe the Championship can be the last week of August instead of the labor day weekend. I'm not sure of the scheduling opportunities involved with Wake Forest University Football but closer to Opening day the AD may not be so overly welcoming of two thousand Marchers on his field. (that's one of the rasons why Rutgers is not a viable location) We keep coming back to our reliable locations for a few reasons Geography, Finance, and availability. Availability of locations and performers. If we can get together as an activity and address some of the questions I have spelled out here perhaps a Championship outside the Northeast can be an answer. What do you think? Opportunities are problems that need to be answered never deadends. Just questions to be answered.

Katie, They are the rumps in 9/8, 4/4, and 3/4 Is that enough variety for you???

Best of Luck to the Raiders for the 2005 season will say a prayer for Adam and his Family

Thanks Jeff, We are working hard to fill those spots. We will see how it all works out in the end.

hey,,, I agree with Mike Ryan a lot... Well except for the fact that he's a Mets fan!!!!! but hey... Mets Fan, Yankees Fan... Heck we even have a few Red Sox fans this year.... I don't care what team you root for as long as you come fill one of our last few spots! Go Yanks.... And Go Cabs!!!! Go Yanks???? Definitely go Cabs!!!!!! See everybody tomorrow in Lewisburg. Then we are at Hawthorne HS on Sunday rehearsal starts at 11:00am see you there. I have been informed that the guard spots are filled. So now it is down to the Baritone, 2 Contras/Tubas and 2 Trumpets. The last month of the season is upon us I know we are going to turn some heads. Looking forward to getting it done.

Wait a minute was that Anthony saying that I was right? It must be the Heat LOL Anyway fill those spots if you are interested we need you.

That's how far behind we were. They were actually in the show from the start we just didn't have enough of the show together to present them. Things have progressed very well from when we actually got onto the field. Thanks to fan support and the support of our Allumni we are getting closer to full. and some of the sets will begin to make sense. I'm really looking forward to getting this production complete so we can see what was intended. Thanks for your help. See you in Lewisburg. Still need a few people oh no not again 1 baritone 2 contras/tubas 2 Sopranos/trumpets Interested give me a call 973 709 0500 ext 1532 or e-mail me at cabscontra@aol.com

I have to watch my math I forgot about the Trumpet. LOL

B) "Wow Mike I miss one rehearsal to go to my brother Josh’s wedding and we fill 3 more spots. I guess when Josh and Val get back from there honeymoon Josh will have to fill a trumpet spot. " Hey Al we only had one blank in the mello line The others players were there they are just learning the spots. Try to stay in touch LOL Still looking to fill our shopping list. 6 weeks to Scranton. If you have the time we sure do need you.

Hey Mr Pronti, Of cource we will be there on Labor day Weekend. Where else do all of us crazy drum corps types go on that Holiday weekend. We filled the Mellophone line this weekend. And added an additional Trumpet how many does that leave us to fill. 2 Contras/Tubas 1 Baritone 2 Trumpets This weekend we are in Lewisburg and then rehearsal in Hawthorne on Sunday.

Thank you for your replies. See you in Hawthorne

Ok lets take the mystery our the amount of horns we need. We need 1 Mellophone 1 Baritone 2 Contras 3 trumpets Anthony is right the rumps are in they come out of nowhere and they are staged really well. What else would you expect from Key Poulan and Michael Gaines? If you are interested we have rehearsal in Hawthorne NJ at Hawthorne High School all weekend long. See you there.
