Don't tell anyone, but our horn line is getting bigger....sshhhhhhhhhhhhhh! The college bowl season is almost over and we welcome any fall band student (high school or college) that has either auditioned at another corps or was obligated to the Holiday Bowl Season to come and experience the Blue Stars. www.bluestars.org For camp information, travel, airport pick-ups, camp needs, fees, and the ongoing audition process. Our auditions are an ongoing process to allow prospective members the opportunity to learn our system in more than a "one and done" weekend. Come and learn from some of the finest instructors in our activity and take part in the start of another great Blue Stars program. All of your meals are also provided at camp. There is no need to leave the fairgrounds during the weekend for meals.

Amazing stuff Sara! Thank you for sharing.

I marched with David, "Primo", and will keep him in my thoughts and prayers all through today. I saw him last at DCI in Pasadena. Great Guy! LOVES drum corps.

This (above) was the slow tempo technique. Platform or releve was for quicker tempos. If you watch 1984 in Maria, we went from platform to toe/heel roll in the rallentando.

It was 1982 and I had a hard time getting to the first few sets in Rocky Point Holiday (I was on the very end and got whipped around the field a lot in that opener) and George Zingali from the top of the scaffolding says, "Eric Sabach, what do you have to do to make your sets?" and I replied, "Zingy, if I could do it all on my platform, I could make it..." and Zingali screams, "Platform? WTF is a Platform?" So I said, "If I could stay on my platform, my tippy toes, and not put my heels down, I could make it." Zingali screams, "NO!" So we go back to the last few euphoniums not making the sets. After about three more reps and George talking to Marc, he yells, "Everybody backing up, get on your platforms!" and then Marc clearly defined the technique. Big John... oops.. John J. Miliauskas, http://www.towson.edu/bands/MB/staffInfo.asp reminded me of the story after about 20 years when we caught up at DCI in Allentown and said he tells that story at his marching band clinics. I laughed. Were we the first? I don't know. Who does? As for Star, Sara was right. In 1985, most of the corps was band kids and we had a hard enough time showing them where the practice field and buses were. In 1986, we really started to define the marching technique.

Donny, You are welcome! Welcome to the Kings of the Field family.

I am sure members and alumni would appreciate if the definition of SUTA was not discussed in a public forum. Thanks.

Yes, SARA (my niece is Sarah)... I'd fight you, but would not want to get thrown out of the club that you have allowed Key and I into. = )

Sarah, I love you because we think so much alike!

Fire it up Sky!

Tell you the truth.... Think about this one.... Renegades do Spartacus with a little S&M... uhhh errr. I mean S&D (Samson and Delilah)... the black tunics... the bondage of man... the baccannale... I see it done in a very Rudnicki style (the Stanley Kubrick of modern all age corps). = )

Uh the topic is what DCA corps could pull off a Spartacus. Who do you think?

An All Jay-Z show... I AM.. Hip Hop!
