Hydrodrill Posted October 11, 2008 Author Share Posted October 11, 2008 Hmmm you gonna march with your snares on a harness or the slings? And you must play some Earth Wind and Fire! LOL good question but we bagged the slings years ago.....we're on the snare harness now.....and we played "In the Stone" for the past few seasons already....this season promises to be the best we put on the field since our return !!!!!! If you live in the area and can come down, do so, I think you would have a blast..... Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piper Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 This is a good thread. I'm from the Northeast, and when I marched juniors we would meet kids from other corps outside the region who were ageing out, and you would have thought that their dog just died. It didn't have that kind of emotional impact on us because we were very familiar with DCA, and always knew that we had a place to go if we wanted to. I feel sorry for kids who don't.

notelvis Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Deep Down I think that any one of us who marched in any drum corps anywhere in late 70's or the first half of the 1980's secretly wished that they could have been a member of the Bridgemen.....if only for a day. I see some heads shaking but you know it's true!!!!! Now with the Bridgemen Alumni corps I still might someday have that chance. Woooo Hooooo.

THE ORIGINAL Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Do they compete ? If I still wanted to march I would join a senior corps that is part of DCA not a alumni corps . why don't THE BRIDGEMEN compete in DCA A class ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
