Trombones, voice samples, and starts of shows
JimF-LowBari replied to BG984's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
“Lassus Trombones” in first post. Lol my first year a corps played that as part of the concert number (1974). Used piston/rotor Baris for the melody and… well it was loud and brassy….🤔 -

Live in south central PA and went to nephews HS graduation in NC. Never did Chesapeake bridge/tunnel so went down eastern shore, did bridge/tunnel then circled back to Norfolk. Spent few days in Williamsburg as hadn’t been there in years. Enjoyed the drive but my method of distance driving is leave after breakfast and get to destination by supper. Lots of time to see things, stretch and (at my age) find bathrooms -

Last time coming over the bridge we see smoke in the distance. Then we see the reason… car on fire at end of the bridge. 😳 I was thinking it was Gods way of saying “go the hades home”. -
What's the Big Deal about Show Titles?
JimF-LowBari replied to ironlips's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
I hear you. Thought mine would come back mostly Germany area based on Faber/Saltzer family names. Nope mostly UK 🤔. No wonder I had problems taking German in high school and college. Yeah family name was Faber. Sounds like one of ancestors did a 🤷🏻 when the census taker asked “how do you spell that?” Can only imagine how many spellings you come up with your name. 🤪 Back on topic: “How do you spell/pronounce that?” Show of music that is easily mispronounced or misspelled. (Show opens with Pagliaccis “vesti la guibbi” aka the old Rice Crispies commercial song ) -

Mayonnaise Music: the most bland “stuff” you ever heard… Actually making fun of myself here. Took a DNA spit test and supposedly all Western European and UK. Someone said “that’s boring, we are whiter than a mayonnaise sandwich on Wonder bread”. 🤦♂️ -

Was going to post the same thing. Second choice “Bleep titles, just enjoy the flipping music” -
All Age News from the DCI meetings
JimF-LowBari replied to Jeff Ream's topic in DCA - All-Age Corps Discussions
Talked to one of the sponsors of a 6 corps show. Two of the corps had well under 35 members and some customers complained that they felt cheated. Some said if it would be like this the following year they would stay home. So DCA listened to the fans. Also know one of the smaller corps had the bus driver in the pit. Was told the judge watched to make sure he actually played during the show. 😦 -
Problems Scheduling Multiple Shows
JimF-LowBari replied to JimF-LowBari's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
I always picture someone telling Hershey stadium owners “we will go somewhere else if that’s the way you treat us”. And stadium owners response is 😆😆😆😆😆 For everyone else the cancelled Hershey show was moved to my old high school stadium. Went from 15,641 total seating (both sides about the same) to 6200 total. Not to mention lowest row of Hershey bleachers about 6 feet off the ground. Lowest row at the HS your feet are on the ground. And open bleachers at HS stadium, you drop anything down it goes. Or if you put something by your feet someone can snitch it.🤮🤮
