I'm convinced that anyone that actually enjoyed high school was on a sports team and making it with at least two of the cheerleaders - possibly at the same time. So my hat is off to you, sir. For the rest of us, it was a hell where I had to memorize mostly useless crap. Oddly, since leaving high school I have never once had to solve a quadratic equation. Don't ask me why, I guess my life took some bizarre twist that grade 10 math didn't anticipate.... College was way better. The only thing that makes high school worthwhile is the ability to enter college.

LOL - OK - short story. The first year my oldest daughter was marching, DCI was in Buffalo and the corps was housing on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls. We got a call late at saying she was being taken to hospital because she'd ripped the nail off her big toe. I asked her if she wanted me to come down and she started crying and said yes (she was 12 years old at the time). So being a good Dudley Doright dad I drove the hour and a half or so down to the housing site and got there around 1 in the morning, just in time to see her come back from hospital with a big smile on her face, saying everything was ok and thanks Dad, but you can go home now.... Kids.......

I had a Pinto....

Glad to hear that. You must be relieved. She must be one tough kid. Please pass on our best wishes, and I'm sure I'm speaking for all of DCP.

When you marched, they didn't have flush toilets either, Old Geezer......

I'm 54 and so far my mid life crisis has involved martial arts, archaeology, fencing and writing historical novels. I'd like to know who I talk to in order to trade it in for the kind of crisis that includes a fast sports car and a blonde half my age.....

It sure does. I'm looking forward to a day wehn Blue Saints get on a roll and St. Johns get back in the game and have 5 Canadian corps go through to Quarters (with Dutch in first place, of course!)

0 Music City 79.450 0 Colt Cadets 77.850 0 Dutch Boy 75.300 0 Racine Scouts 74.300 0 Les Stentors 68.000 0 Spirit of Newark/New Jersey 65.450 0 Blue Saints 55.150 OK - I'm outta here!

Maybe the guys that post the scores are on intermission too. I should just head out - get the groceries and go home. They will probably post Dutch's score 2 minutes after I leave the office..... EDIT - we're way past intermission - VK should be on in a few minutes. Where's the score for DUTCH!!!!!

Dude - where's my score?

Well that fits with the feel of the number then. Sorry - I misunderstood you - I thought you meant the whole show was a little old school.

I remember talking with some Cap Reg drummers while we were setting up for retreat. I think it was Dubuque in 2004. Great bunch of guys.

The only vet? They've done #### well on a rookie corps. Congrats!

Heh! Wouldn't be the first time I didn't get paid.

I think the Dayton score was - shall we say - a bit of an anomaly....
