Welp, I've been around this thing for a long time. I was at Spirit when Magic of Orlando couldn't feed it's kids. The joke then was Lose Weight Like Magic. I remember corps in the 90's having to ditch coaches for school buses. I was on the bus when I heard our food truck driver (at Spirit) couldn't get into Canada for .... various reasons.... we later heard he had an outstanding warrant don't know if that was ever true or not. I was with another corp in the early 2000's where one of instructors had to leave mid tour, turned out mom of one his kids back at his high school found out they were a thing. doh.... I'm not defending any of this stuff, I'm just saying it's been a round a long time and I'm happy to see that they are finally doing something about it. Now isn't the time to boycott now is the time to show support for an activity that's trying to do the right thing. I aged out a long time ago, and just 2 weeks ago I took my son to his first call-back camp so he could march a drum corp like I did and I'm proud of it. I don't post often, but I've been a register member of this board since 2003 reading all the comments every year.

So, how is the show this year? I'm headed to the Orlando show tomorrow, can't wait!

(back from my hiatus) I think george will eventually get his way and drum corp will split into two. 1 part, will be what we all remember. Drum and Bugle Corp with some of the new stuff, but most 'old school'. the other part will be national competitions for BOA sponored by high schools and colleges.
