Jim Alberty Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Now that I think of it, we were struck with Blue Flu during the 1977 season, on second tour. I had it during the Boise show (DCI West) and it really hit after finals. I remember a team of people scrubbing the busses with Clorox during our next port of call in Lander WY (I think it was). Talk about triumph over adversity and all that but it still sucked. regards - Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmiggles Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 From Dave G. "Blue Devils took kids to hospital on Tuesday because of a rain delay and we wanted to do a last precautionary and final check to make sure all were well. The hospital overreacted. At the end of the day all kids returned. NO quarantine! ALL kids but one are rehearsing TONIGHT. We will be at FULL strength tomorrow. GREAT rehearsal tonight --- LOTS OF ENERGY!! WOW!! - (Sitting in press box and watching) Blue Devils have done this week a few times in our history -- no worries! Pass on to our friends at DCP :-)" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Octavarium Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 that was actually a pretty cool video, aside from the flu thing. Nice coverage and background information of the corps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tone Quality Matters Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Will pray for a speedy recovery for BD, and the rest of the corps with this junk running through them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was friends with a Blue Devil that year and I was threatened with death if I brought anything back to our corps!

I think they've just got it in their mind that we've come this far, we're this close to the finish line! He did say to tell everyone thank you for the good thoughts!

ajlemm Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 this is too bad. First of all I hope all of the members get healthy, secondly I hope it doesn't affect their competition. Regardless of how we all like to predict and argue, I think we all want a healthy competition (literally) and that everyone is on top of their game. Get better BD!
