No Kyle, they did try to say that they found some white powder left in some rooms and I'm sure they did. They did not turn it into the police and they did not have it tested. I will tell you that the Ca. folks were not use to the humidity and after the first day of rehearsal, most of the corps went out and bought some powder for chaffing. I have never done anything like coke but I have known a few people over the years that have and they just don't leave any extra laying around. They get every bit out of it they can. One room smelled like pot and they couldn't rent it out for a few days. I know I sign things when I check into a non smoking hotel that says I will be fined and charged for any damages if I smoke in my room. Whoever was in that room should have been charged and that should have been the end of it. I have read the rumors over the last year of rape, under age sex, orgies and whatever else you guys came up with. The fact of the matter is the Renegades smoked some pot. Just about every corps should be kicked out.

Ok folks, I'm going to let you all know how big of a party it was. There were a couple of noise complaints because of doors shutting being too loud and there was some pot smoked in a couple of rooms.

They sound great but It's a High School not a middle school

under the topic it says 10 am and one post on here says noon? I would hate for someone to show up 2 hours early

I think it's a wash. 50% of the drum corps back when I marched 20 years ago have folded.

Well the Blue Devils have auditions in Alabama, Texas and So. Cal so I am not sure why it is a big deal that the Bluecoats are doing it as well.

Who is teaching the drum line this year? I keep looking on the web site and I can't find it anywhere.

Sounds like it's going to be a great line. I know there is alot of drum corps people doing it. Have fun guys and I can't wait to see you.

It's all about the money. I believe Dynasty stopped giving them 100% free stuff so they decided to go somewhere else with a better deal. It's like the Vic Firth deal. Promark is not only giving them free stuff but I believe they are paying them to use their probuct as well.

OK, let me just start our by saying I am not slamming anyone I just have a couple of questions. I have been out of the loop for a little while. What are the roles of a caption consultant, supervisor and head. Which one of these guys has the final say? And Madison has put together a All Star staff for sure but when is the last time these guys designed a top show? Like I said, not trying to be a jerk, I just don't know the last thing these guys have done. I know there is a lot of Star and blast people but what top drum corps shows have they desinged in the last few years?

I think the excitement is about a Corps coming out to Ca. The Renegades have no clue how they stack up to the rest of the Country until prelims. This will be a very fun trip for Empire, I know it's a great time for the Renegades every time they go East. You are correct, no Corps should do this if it will put them in financial trouble but if they can swing it, what a great time they will have.

Well with our big parking lot we can paint three fields and have each section have their own field. As a drum guy I can tell you how nice it is to have our own field to clean the things we need to work on without having to deal with any of the other sections. I would much rather have a grass field but I will take three parking lot fields anyday.

Some of you crack me up, you guys will ##### about anything. You must be a real peach to be around. Here is a company letting anyone who doesn't want to pack up a drum set and ship it to Rochester the chance to use a great drum set and all you do is complain. Believe it or not, not every corps is from the East Coast and can just put it in a van and drive a couple of hours. Why don't you just say Thank You. If you don't want to use it THEN DON'T!
