Arena Corps Guy Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 (edited) SDCA feels so fortunate to have the support of so many wonderful people in the drum corps world. Especially those members of the Northernaires, the Twilights Knights, the Minne Brass, the Royal Airs and the Blue saints. These people have put forth their time and talents to make the first Arena Drum corps weekend shows a great success. SDCA wants to publicly thank them as well as the hundreds of fans in attendance that witness drums corps history. Although there will always be bumps in the road we are prepared to work them out as well as to continue to massage the details to better serve the drum corps community.

kansasDC Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Great to see the Blue Saints doing something again! I still remember them from the Salina, KS show in 2004. They had put three really little kids in soccer uniforms on the field just to make the 30 member minimum so they could still compete (their show was about "summer fun"). They came in last, but they were really fun to watch . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bawker Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 fun...painful....yeah. just about the same thing. . . .and now they have somewhere that they can compete and not get swallowed up in a circuit that only caters to the big boys that help to barely keep said circuit afloat. Most people would celebrate something that welcomes more groups . . .of any stripe . . .into the activity, no matter what their membership numbers or talent level. Stay at World Class finals and enjoy that; perhaps it will bring you less pain in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blue Saints were painful to watch when they were in DCM. I don't know what corps you were watching, but the horns were painfully out of tune...the marching was suspect at best and the three kids playing soccer was a distraction at best. Again, if that's what people want to celebrate...I'm glad you have a venue. I think we should pay money to see excellence and quality performances. I guess it's to each their own.

Minnesota Brass and Cavaleirs have ensembles in the Circuit. The ticket prices are reasonable and shows have a minimum of 4 groups performing. We will be performing at SDCA in June in Wisconsin. It gives us a Circuit to perform in that doesn't ask for large fees and other red tape. Perfoming outside the Practice Hall helps build a Drum Corps.
