quick point of order from someone who was there.....the red flags were not actually very apparent until after said championship. I too miss my corps, and was there for the resurgence. but many decisions and actions made AFTER the championship are what led to the fall of 97, and pure stupidity by those who took over mismanaged the last years. I love you man, but you weren't there. I was, and you know the busybody I am, i asked a ton of questions and talked to a lot of people. A lot of us were fooled but the red flags didn't start appearing until the winter of 97. Come August well....they were full blown full field tarps.

yeah this wasn't the kind of topic our usual snarkfest was made for. we like to bust ###, but losing an icon...yeah, we aren't bashing that

Governaires 1927

paid attendance the last several years at finals has been 22,000ish. members, staff and VIP's are not counted in that number

West Chester is a logistical nightmare

it's hosted a BOA regional at least once recently.

he's with Cavies again this year. Travis Peterman is at Bucs. i know one member landed at SCV

And CVS and Rite Aid are closing locations left and right

UDel could be an option too

Cool

i remember an old thread on here where someone tried to start a petition to get her fired from DCI

congrats all!

my HS was mostly not competitive during my years, but i remember in the summer of 86 being taught how to do a dot book, with drill written by a guy who was in the corps i marched in, and actually marched with. he just hated whenever we said the number 27

i dont know the specifics but i know it was said here by someone reputable

it was said elsewhere the lawyer had others waiting in the wings.

at the time it first came out, YEA dragged their feet on doing anything about him, making DCI basically threatening to lower the boom. then the whole mess of old board new board, resign, quit.....i am amazed they survived 18 let alone after 18. if there is any video of the corps performance in Allentown from 18...not the backside video at the zpull, but the actual Flo feed, i'd love to see it. it was magic.

literally the name has zero value because if you own it, and new claims were to come up, guess who has to deal with it? it's damaged goods. there's far more negative to trying again then to actually try again.

i believe those were being donated to the drum corps museum

yup

Keeps her off the panel

yeah. same. and i've been here since day 1

great seats at MetLife when group 1 Open goes on!

No it was more a dumpster fire sale. And based on all I have seen and heard no one could confuse how it’s run now with under YEA.

I made my post non poster specific. I posted it for factual accuracy for all to see.

USBands was sold legally. may have been before a Bankruptcy there, i can't remember
