BD3BK2R2 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I've been on a bocce league for a few years now in Martinez CA. and played a team tonight that we've played before. They're always fun to play and somehow drum corps came up and one of their members just lit up and started telling stories of a bar named Patrick's well anyway his name is Jake, his families last name is Maxfield. Well anyways he's a great guy and never for a minute doubted his affiliation with The Govies. What a small world. Trav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have personal experience with this establishment and I have even been in it sober. Many local Drum Corps stories are rattling around in those 4 walls. Can you believe, that St Peter, Minnesota had 3 Corps at one time. A Senior Corps, a Junior Corps and of course the feeder Corps. All in a small Midwestern farming community....bravo for the tradition ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuh Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 (edited) Patrick's I have even been in it sober. Dik B. Good to see you are still kicking, are you going to make the trip to the Govie's show on Aug. 16th. Gustavus has a brand new football stadium that is going to be a great site for a show. Big happening at Patrick's after the show. Edited July 8, 2008 by stuh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be judging the two DCA shows in the Atlanta area on the 16th and 17th, However you will have Katie doing the two Wisconsin DCA shows. See, you can't get rid of us just yet.......I wish all the Minnesota Corps a competitive and enjoyable season.

RJ CVmellophone Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 I had the pleasure of visiting Patrick's a couple of years ago as a guest of the Govie Goddess herself. I was amazed- it's like a [much better] Ruby Tuesday's full of drum corps schlock! I loved it. The contra on the peak of the roof is the ultimate topper!

Renegade_fireman Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Hey! I just built a Bocce court! AND I live 5 min from martinez! I wanna play! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoothy Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Yes, in the Govenaires, we have found that drum corps and bocce ball go well together. We would love to challenge any other corps to a game. We always have a set on our corps truck. Patrick's rock (of course I'm prejudice since I live across the street from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
