Are all spots filled?

It appears the guard is a bit small (I counted 29 on the field last night) this year. Were members out sick or injured?

This appears to be an entertaining show. The guard seems smaller this year. Are members out or is the Colts marching a smaller guard?

I apologize for the delay. I have been getting ready for the neighborhood garage sale. In addition, Mayo Clinic in Phoenix called about having surgery there. My email: dcikon2@aol.com. I will need information on where to send everything.

There are 85 patches. I would like to get at least $1 a piece for them. My preference would be to get $100. I am also including some other DCI patches that aren't listed.

I am downsizing and would like to sell my drum corps patches. My intentions were to have a quilt made with them, but this hasn't happened yet. I would like to sell all of them together. I have the following patches: Academy (1 patch) Americanos (1 patch) Bluecoats (5 different patches) Blue Devils (5 different patches) Blue Knights (2 different patches) Blue Stars (1 patch) Boston Crusaders (1 Patch) Cadets (6 different patches) Capitolaires (2 different pactes) Capital Sound (1 patch) Cardinals (1 patch) Carolina Crown (2 different patches) Cavaliers (5 different patches) Colts (3 different patches) Crossmen (3 different patches) Glassmen (3 different patches) Kilties (2 different patches) Kiwanis Kavaliers (1 patch) Lone Star (1 patch) Madison Scouts (4 different patches) Magic (2 different patches) Mandarins (1 patch) Memphis Sound (1 patch) Oregon Crusaders (2 different patches) Pacific Crest (1 patch) Phantom Regiment (8 different patches) Pioneer (2 different patches) Railmen (1 patch) Santa Clara Vanguard (10 different patches) Southwind (2 different patches) Spirit of Atlanta (3 different patches) Troopers (1 patch) Twenty-Seventh (27th) Lancers (1 patch)

I haven't been keeping up with DCA, but was surprised that Minnesota Brass wasn't at championships. Did the organization fold? Minnesota Brass was a large corps at one time.

PLEASE have a better designed show.

I was hoping the Cadets would break 90 tonight, but the show design just didn't allow them the opportunity.

I know of several top corps "many" years ago who stayed in hotels during finals week. However, I have never heard of trying to raise money during the last week of tour to feed the corps, especially if they are staying in a hotel. Something just doesn't seem right.

I should have written "inaccurately."

Something has been communicated accurately to the public.

The Scouts currently have a fundraiser going on. to help with this issue. It is listed on their Facebook page.

It will be extremely difficult to retain members if they are going to bed hungry. I don't want to seem harsh, but the administration should have had this planned out in advance.

Perhaps the Madison Scouts have a larger cash flow problem than I realized.

Don't most or all world class corps these days have their own food truck? Something just doesn't sound right. The administration needs to be careful of how this is handled as it could have a negative impact on the future of the corps.

Deb - Very well stated.

I do think BD has a great show this year; however, Bluecoats have one of the most entertaining shows of all time. This show live reaches the people. It's nice to see a show that can get people excited and appreciate.

I would really love to see Madison wear their old uniforms in Indianapolis.

I also have a birthday in November. I sent a student to march in Guardsmen during my 1st years of teaching.

It appears that the people at the game really enjoyed the Bluecoats.

I will say the Pro Football Hall of Fame Facebook page was helpful. They kept on messaging me and even sent me the site of Bluecoats performance.

The audience gave the Bluecoats a great reception. There is no reason why this wasn't broadcast on national television.

I have 1 year on you!

You stated your feelings about the show in a great way. This show is difficult to reach many people. In fact, it may be one of my least favorite Cadets shows of all time. I do hope the Cadets have a show next year that reaches the crowd and future recruits.
