certainly sounds like a strong brass line

Why is that a stretch? I think you keep valuable things in a vault not just new things. Don't take it so literal.

I assume you mean Music Ed Majors in college. I am always amazed when someone makes a post as though it was fact without any supporting evidence. I have been involved in drum corps for 30 years and not one drum corps could support this claim. How do you make this claim and what corps have you surveyed to prove it?

Thank you. This post by 'RobH' should be required reading before anyone posts that drum corps is about bugles, not marching band, no amps, get rid of singing or whatever other complaint . Have an opinion on these topics. Disagree with the direction but don't be a jerk. Drum corps is about the experience not the equipment.

negative - sure go for it critical - bring it on rude - go to RAMD disrespectful - that is a problem Lively debate is great. Difference of opinion and tolerace for others is what makes America great. But some cannot express their opinion without attacking. There are plenty of negative threads on this site but I am glad when they cut out the rude and disrespectful posts and posters. There is no room for those.

Hey - - - Don't go using logic here!!! Don't you know - '72 is old school. '89 was just yesterday. :P Actually, '72 wasn't old school to me either. Now '65..... that was old school.

Only one thing to say...... Whitewater - 1984 - Garfield (if you know what I am talking about correct me if I have the wrong year)

The day that 1989 becomes "old school" really bothers me. 1989 is not "old school" ....... that was only 17 years ago....... well, maybe that is old. :(

Although your sampling method sounds very scientific, "I talked to plenty of people", the annual report released by DCI in September 2005 indicated that overall attendance was up throughout the country in 2004. I have not seen anything for 2005 yet but I would be happy to send you a copy of the 2004 report.

1. Why is San Diego NOT better? That looks like an unsupported opinion. <**> 2. Why do the director's in LA rise to the occasion more than Madison or Seattle or San Diego? 3. Have some faith? Are you kidding? b**bs

I will take Bridgemen '77, '78, '80 or '81. Any of them..... at least one of them. I love each of them.

Once again, another post to twist of the language to suit your needs. Never said you don't need the fans. Please find that in this thread.
