Lance Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 That's just it. We're embracing the silliness. Nobody's being serious (I think). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawn craig Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I'd bet the economy (pay cuts, parents without jobs, etc.) is going to hurt lots of corps. If the parents don't have jobs, it's tough for them to help their kid pay for drum corps. I made a statement like this a few months ago on a thread about the economy and drum corps. I think we indeed will see more of this kind of thing this spring/summer as parents lose jobs. Many retired grandparents are also in a squeeze as their protfolios and retirement plans are down and perhaps not able to help as much as some times.

chaos001 Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 (edited) delirium has set in from lack of drum corps-itis. 'tis an awful malady. Edited April 27, 2009 by chaos001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkfdPRphan Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Noooz! Life is SOOOO CRUELLLL!!!! [weeps] And to think it all started with them needing a couple brass players!LOL. Spent this entire past weekend at Phantom's camp. I am vowed to secrecy when it comes to the new uniforms......but they are awesome. I took no pictures and will not describe color, cut nor fit. The music is refreshing, somewhat out of character for PR.....you will be brought to tears in one certain section. The current soloist is going to blow you away. As with any corp today, money is tight. I'm confident the holes in the horn lines will be filled soon....maybe they already have! Come to the Rockford Memorial Day parade to see the new uniforms. Been busy comparing the music I listened to this weekend with the Red Violin soundtrack.......interesting! I've only been a drum corp volunteer (for years and years) - never marched, so I cant help you with descriptions of horn types, music scores, etc. But, it will be worth the wait. .....all for now! GO PHANTOM REGIMENT!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
