raidersdbcbass Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Many things can happen between the months of May and August. Here we can laugh about things that happened that no one knew about until after they got home and started watching the news or hanging out with non-corps people. My first example would be in 2007... the Soulja Boy. I came home from my first drum corps tour, and all of a sudden, everyone knew this new "dance step" (if you can call it that) and I had no idea what was going on. Second '07 example... the Mississippi bridge collapse. That was an on-tour thing because many of the parents were talking about it and we were pretty close to Mississippi at the time. Third example in 2008... I got home and and all of a sudden, Russia invaded Georgia. It was an often-discussed topic and I had to fill myself in on what was going on. Any others?
