stuh Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Wow!! What a Tremendous review of the 2007 Octoberfest Parade, I expect great things to happen again this year. Perhaps, those that are TREMENDOUS will break 200. To All friends and fans This is my first review, so please try to read though the lines and pick up what I'm trying to lay down. The day started as every good day should, the sun was shinning, and I got to see drum corps, so what could be better???? I had a good view of the street, and I was'nt to far from my cooler or the porta-john. Normally I would not get too excieted about a parade, but with all of the recent "HYPE" of the Tremendous Blast and the BSA I wanted to see what all the "guff" was about. First up was "The Tremendous Blast" and what a quality corps that is. All I keep thinking was what a class act. From the moment I saw the corps I was impressed with just the way they went down the street. I have been seeing coprs for some time, but nothing like this, they were so entertaining, so musical, so full of life, they made me wet my pants!! Then just when I thought it could not get any better, it did,,,and how!!!! It all started off with the drums and then came the chant. The chant of all chants, that truly proclaims the essence of what it must be like, when you are Tremendous!!! "Tremendous, Tremendous oh,oh Tremendous" and then, like the precision machine they are, all of the Blasters swirled and swelled up together with a big "Whoop-La" or something like that, I was personaly having another personal problem, but did not care. Then like a beacon in the night, the drum started shining though, with this new wave drum beat that got all of the "Local Festers" of their butts and joined in the fun. My mom, dad, 2 aunts,3 stangers, and my self, wet pants and all, could not contain ourselvs any more, we needed to be Tremendous!!!! We stared heading down the street like abunch of drunken rats . Dancing, laughing and having the time of my life, I felt like I was home when in fact I had never ever marched before. I had never performed before now, and there I was, in front of Oktoberfest, a ROCK STAR!!. Then, in Tremendous fashion, and how this happened I still have no clue, It Got BETTER!!!! The parade song was up, and I was clueless. What do I do??? Then I remebered the chant, and then also confirmed from a horn player "YOU ARE TREMENDOUS!!!!! LET IT OUT!!!!!" and I started Blasting. I Blasted like no one ever Blasted, and with That power, I truly became Tremendous!!! This moment in time is like non that I have ever experienced before. I felt the reason The Tremendous is in a class of their own. Class, quality,power, showmenship, precision all rolled up into one Fantastic drum corps, I now see why others consider this corps "The greatest...EVER!!!!" I wished it would never end, and like the Blasters they are, off they went into what looked like an endless party. I yelled "Party on Blasters" and one lone cymbal turned and said something I will never forget. "See you next year!!" and away they went. Later I found out The Tremendous scored a 199.745 "WOW" Next up the BSA. nice square block, loved the t-shirts Jane Doe LaCrosse Wis drum corps expert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roark1 Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Thanks Stu. I was there and I have to agree with the reviewer. TREMENDOUS, TREMENDOUS, OH, OH, TREMENDOUS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSev Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 (edited) I hope the TB can make it this year. It was dissapointing that you were unable to attend the O-Fest last year due to the tour you were doing ... where was that again? I think it was somewhere near Fargo. Or was it the fact that you took a left on I-94 instead of a right and simply got lost in transit?

The banquet was held to the blaring trumpet of Molly Busta and the Pettibone campground was rocking with sounds of frivolity. I really don't remember BSA being there though.
