Hey Tekneek, The problem has been fixed and our web host is taking a deeper dive as to how this occurred. Thank you again for the heads up!

See you all there!

Well, all I can say is that this past weekend in Hawthorne was fantastic! I look forward seeing everyone again at the December camp. Buffy, it great catching up with you, even if it was only for a short while! Jack, after 12 seasons of drum corps, I feel old even though I haven't reached 30 years of age, lol! See you at the next rehearsal.

It's amazing how fast time passes between seasons. Looking forward to seeing everyone this weekend!

@Androidx2 What Empire did during our encore was without a doubt 100% classy!

Heard great things about this past weekend!

I've been hearing nothing but great things from the Hawthorne camp! I'm pushing to see everyone next camp in Blairstown.

Missed you guys too, but I got held up on the home front. See you guys soon.

Have a great weekend! Looking to stop by and see everyone this weekend.

Have a great weekend! See you guys soon. Let's go Giants!

Can't wait to kick off the 2011 DCA season down in Wildwood. See everyone Friday night.

Will see you guys tomorrow night after work!

It sure was a great weekend. I'm looking forward towards the final march towards Wildwood (no pun intended). I look forward to seeing everyone up in Hudson. Peace.

What a great weekend! The corps really made some big strides. I look forward to seeing everyone again on Saturday!

The best way to start a drum corps weekend is by hanging at the Post on Friday night. See you guys later on!

Excellent! I'm looking forward to see (and hear) the music that Key and Kevin have written. Come on down, you won't be disappointed! See everyone this weekend.

I'm ready to get this weekend started! See everyone tomorrow (or tonight at the Post)!

Great weekend Hawthorne!

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone this weekend. It's going to be a great year!

Looking forward to seeing everyone!

HEY-O!

It should be, but you would deserve half of that... and Gary doesn't count!

I'll give it a shot too... Note all years are with the Cabs. 1999: 5th 2000: 2nd 2001: 3rd 2002: 6th 2003: 1st 2004: 4th 2006: 4th 2009: 5th 2010: 5th Average Placement: 3.8

Been with the Hawthorne Caballeros for the entire run of my drum corps life. I had an opportunity to switch to juniors in 2002, but I chose to stay with my family and friends. Plus, my decision allowed me to finish college and build a solid foundation in the career I've been in for over 8 years now. All in all, for me personally, it was the best decision.
