One thing to consider about taking a year off. I decided to take a year off and then march my age out year, the problem was the corps I marched was Star of Indiana and the year I took off was 1993 . You always need to consider the fact that when you are ready to come back after that year off, your corps might not be there.

1. Blue Devils 2. Holy Name Cadets 3. The Cavaliers 4.

Bluecoats 7. Blue Stars 8.Boston Crusaders 9. Phantom Regiment 10. Blue Knights 11. Glassmen 12. Troopers

Criticisms of Carolina Crown
jminton replied to Hrothgar15's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Yes it was the first year that Star marched 16 contras, I forget the exact number, but they did have more than 12 in 86 for close encounters but it was only for that piece. Also, Ray was one of the sixteen contras in 92. -
I wear mine a couple of times a month, of course I couldn't wear it for many years. It seems that the darn thing shrunk and then it grew again. Or was it that I grew and am now shrinking?

I guess I knew when we came off the field and the entire horn line was in tears from being emotionally drained. -

I have a brother with Downs that went on tour with my parents when I marched, and he really enjoyed it. He would help the cooks. -
