"It ain't over until we say it's over!!!!!"

Oh this thread can't be done yet! There's plenty of time until the next big issue! LOL

Looking for recordings of Royal Coachmen (NY) 1970 to 1976 and Lockport-Rochester Renegades 1982. I know Ken Kobold recorded them because I had cassette tapes but over time they became no good. I would LOVE to have them again! Anyone?

When will your Creative and Instruction team be announced?

The other day I was watching the Kingsmen Alumni corps on YouTube and it got me thinking. As I was watching I started to get emotional and this happened a while back when I saw a 27th Lancers Alumni performance. I would so love to see alumni corps from the ORIGINAL top 12. Anaheim Kingsmen Blue Stars Santa Clara Vanguard 27th Lancers Argonne Rebels Troopers Des Plaines Vanguard Kilties Cavaliers Muchachos Bridgemen Bleu Raeders Just to see the old uniforms, hear the music...ONE LAST TIME! A dream but a darn good one!

No more Buffalo show?

Before I saw the last few posts....for some odd reason, I was trying to think of the name of "She who shall not be mentioned," and I open this up and...BAM...There it was!

Like a Martin Luther thing? So someone could post their 95 Theses about DCI?

Our rivalry (Royal Coachmen) was with Lakeview Shoreliners and later Imperial Regiment. Was no big deal and I think we got along quite well. I hated losing to them and finally beat IR a few times in 1976. St. Johnsburg Blue Sabers had a rivalry with us but we never thought to much of it since we only saw them in parades. When they went on the field one year they were not so good.

Yep! The SRT team had a jurisdiction of the Continental US so we were armed to the teeth with everything! Yes whatever you think it was bigger

I was an MP from 1978-81 and a K9 Handler. My last 2 years I was stationed at Seneca Army Depot on SRT and RF. 1985-88 I was a chaplain's assistant and the only thing I got to do was protect the chaplain from doing dumb things LOL

Canadians....I hope you wore your poppy's! DC

I have to chuckle at Social Media and especially DCP! A person says that they are leaving the activity because of issues in drum corps (DCI) and soon after (93 plus pages) it has changed to marching band and WW. LOL

I think cymbal lines just travel from corps to corps! Anyone?

Any word from DCA yet? Asking for a friend!

I thought this was about the New World Order LOL

I agree BUT

New Sit Com...."Whatabout George?" The further adventures of disgraced drum corps director.

Must have been bored with no trick or treaters coming to their home!

Or somewhere else!

NEVER!!!!!!!

Happened to me too! My 13 year old reply was, "How can it ruin my embouchure if I use the same mouthpiece?" I then got yelled at but no answer to my question!

The day I see Madison Scouts play "Rhapsody in Blue" with a clarinet soloist....I'm outta here! I love drum corps today but adding WW will change the whole complexion of an activity that we fell in love with! DCI might as well merge with BOA and become BOW (Bands of the World). Drum Corps has always been different and so now the talk is adding WW. Here's one thing you won't see....the flash from the brass instruments when they go up! I'm okay with most of the changes that have happened since 1970 but adding WW's? Nope!

Oh yes I remember them very well. First saw them in 1972 and they were great! Saw them practicing behind my high school in North Tonawanda, NY in 1974 or 1975 and they were fantastic!

So did the OP leave and if so why are we changing the path of this post? LOL SMH
