  1. The kids tend to follow their instructors.
  2. With the current finals week schedule, World Class finals can't start that much earlier, as Open Class finals started at 10 am, ended at about 2 (ish?), then the Marine D&BC rehearsed, the doors opened at 4:30, and the show started at about 5:30. I thought the retreat was atrocious. The lighting, fine, but the music coming from the speakers? Not ok. I thought that it was disrespectful and belittling to all of the work the kids put in this summer. Have someone march them on, PLEASE... open class champ? Marine D&BC (although I did love hanging out with someone with whom I marched, who is now there)? The drumline who came into finals with the highest score?? SOMEONE?
  3. Yeah, I'm leaving Wednesday at midnight (after sleeping all afternoon after work) from MA for Indy. Hopefully, I'll be conscious enough to make some of Cit's rehearsal Thursday! Can't wait!!!
  4. Citations 88.25 (thanks facebook!!), but that's all I've got. Wish I had gotten home earlier, so I could've sent out a shout out to Citations.... can't wait to meet them for "Glory Tour" Thursday afternoon
  5. Ugh, I just want to be in Indy already!!! Can't I just not show up to work for my next six shifts???? (Leaving for Indiana Wednesday after work and driving 15ish hours!!!!)

  7. the weather is lovely for drum corps-ing here in the NE :)
  8. Always glad to hear about a comeback!! Can't wait to see you kids out there!! :)
  9. I wouldn't say it's a change from anything, as Spartans have never allowed current members to post on DCP. I wouldn't expect an outright answer from any member of Spartans, any "breaking news" from the corps directly would be through a secondary source.
  10. I don't know if you could provide that satisfaction to yourself.
  11. Oh how I love "My Spanish Heart," although like James and Eric, I'm quite biased also. I watched it today, and it was so freaking great. LOVE IT!
  12. Congrats, Surf! It's amazing how much you have grown as an ensemble in the few short years I've been watching you since '04. Best of luck next season!
  13. Oakmont-Overlook Marching Spartans Band 97-02 (2 yrs flute, 2 yrs mello--I had a crush on a boy in the section, 2 yrs drum major) UMass Lowell Marching Band 03-06 (mello) East Coast Jazz Drum and Bugle Corps 04-06 (mello) I first watched corps at my first band camp in '97 when we watched the PBS broadcast. I always wanted to march, but never did until some UML people dragged me to the ECJ Open House after my first year of band there, and I never regretted it for an instant. Corps has opened so many doors for me, from the confidence and work ethic I need to live in the "real world" to the information to teach three bands and an open-class corps. Corps taught me who I could be, but band is the catalyst that brought me to the activity, and I will never forget that.
  14. Not really adding anything, but Dilboy Stadium (aka the Dust Bowl) is no longer the mega-piece-of-crap it was a couple of years ago, they've completely redone it. I used to drive by it on my way to rt 2 from Malden, and now it's gorgeous. I really almost swerved off the road, I was absolutely amazed.
