jminton Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roark1 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 We finally got rings a few years ago for the 30th anniversary of the championship. I wear it for anything involving drum corps (shows, etc.) and occasionally out to dinner. Once a lady at a restaurant came up to me as she was leaving and complemented me on and said she had noticed it from across the room. She didn’t have a background in drum corps, she just thought it looked nice. That was pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayM Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I wore my ring once in a blue moon...now I'm not even sure where it is. Someone mentioned medals, though: I wonder how often they change the design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoundmanG Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Hey....I almost owned that I knew that was coming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoundmanG Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I heard somewhere that when BD orders their rings, they actually order them all in the largest size possible to get the biggest stone on top, and then the members just have to get them sized down on their own. Can anyone confirm this, and if others corps do it too could you confirm that too? Not true in my year. Submitted for your approval: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoundmanG Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 But I still would not have minded the 1980 ring Or this patch with a different name and color scheme on it This was probably not an official DCI patch as it doesn't have the DCI logo on it. I don't remember where it came from but it's been sitting in my box of drum corps stuff forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbc03 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Here are some crappy quality pics of mine If you look closely at the last pic you can see the 9 in the stone for our 9th DCI championship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitedawn Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 here's a bad iphone picture of 1998 and 2000. i put them on for the picture. i wore the first one right after i got it, because i was in high school and i thought it was kinda cool. after that, the only time i wore them was to each banquet, 2000-2003.

jbl Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I'll wear it to the local Drum Corps shows every year but that's about it. For some reason the ring seems to have grown smaller over the years and doesn't quite fit the same as it used to. Hey the same thing happened to my pants too!

SoundmanG Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Hey the same thing happened to my pants too! Seems we all have something in common other than Drum Corps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
