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.

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."

We’ve had regular meals from the food truck so far. We will be staying in hotels for the last 2 or 3 days of the season, which might be when the food truck won’t be available.

Where/how can we help make sure these kids have a week where food is the least of their concerns? Can Scouts set up a Go Fund Me?
The Scouts currently have a fundraiser going on. to help with this issue. It is listed on their Facebook page.

The Scouts have leased a food truck the past 5-6 years. The truck I used was in need of repairs that could have cost thousands of dollars as some were structural. The Scouts sold/donated this truck to Pioneer. I cannot imagine the logistics of arranging catered meals for one week. As I posted earlier, we all bite our nails the final weeks wondering if the Scouts will make semi's or finals. The East coast swing is where the members seem to run out of gas. Without a truck the members will most likely have cold breakfasts; sandwiches/subs for lunch and hopefully substantial meal for dinner. Let's hope whomever is ordering remembers vegetarians and allergies. Snack, the MOST IMPORTANT MEAL OF THE DAY, has been virtually non existent. The members will go to bed hungry. Last week of tour: most members are out of cash so they won't be able to buy food. This is the week they need full meals and lots and lots of hydration. Perfect storm brewing.
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.

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.

November Birthday.
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.

For several kids, 2019 Cadets was their favorite show, but many more of them preferred the Seattle Cascades and Jersey Surf.
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.
