  1. Hey Fred, I remember it as a great season because of the product we produced on the field and the competition presented by the 10th to 15th place corps but I would say that once we started beating finalist corps and showing the possibility of making finals the season changed for the members. Fred if you recall as a staff member, suddenly we lost free days, laundry days and even practiced between performances and retreats and then again after retreats in the parking lot before leaving for the next show. We were tired and stressed and had no down time and when we ended in 13th by 2 tenths we were heartbroken. It is 20 years later and I remember that season like yesterday. Al used to always say to us to look in the mirror first and make sure we did everything we could do. We did and fell short and fell hard. I don't regret marching and aging out in 13th because I am hugely proud of the season, friends, product and competition.

  3. Ohhhhh. I get it now! lol. thanks for the explanation.
  4. We were always intructed to leave the housing site in better condition than when you arrived. We had cleaning crews to address every specific area to ensure that we did not disrespect any school we stayed at. Horn line would have the fields and outside perimeter. Drum line would check the gym and hallways. Guard was in charge of showers and bathrooms. (or something like that) That being said I am sure that we at some point would have inadvertantly left something damaged. Completely unintentional if it did occur. Getting to the point of the burnt field and the unnamed drum corps.. don't get me wrong but doesn't grass grow and get mowed? That being said why would this be such a big deal. Wouldn't the damaged grass be gone in a few weeks at best? I'm not trying to be sarcastic or anything (honestly). I agree it is disrespectful but just not the end of the world. thanks edited for grammar and spelling..I'm sure there are still errors!
  5. We only marched 42 horns that year I believe so DCI set the mics to a more sensitive level to accomodate the smaller horn line. Only problem is that we were small in numbers but loud in volume. That sound you hear is our horn line blowing the mics and getting feedback.
  6. I see the screen but it keeps buffering and not showing any corps.
  7. ok so I am signed and don't see where I click to see the live broadcast. Can someone help me please?
  8. Actually, Begin the Beguine was 1989 (Cole Porter) The show was entitled Red, Hot and Cole- You are correct that 1990 was Frank and Sammy just not the right song, and yep 1991 was City of Angels. (edit for spelling)
  9. Wow can't imagine how DCI got Pacific Crest's score up so darn fast?!???!?!
