Just a small request to those who were able to participate/ attend. Any pictures of the event or warm-ups, etc would be appreciated. I'm stuck in Savannah, GA and need some Westshoreman memories relived.

And a RIP to Betty. She was a sweetheart. I remember her sewing on my hot pink triangle to my uniform right before a show as I was putting on my bass drum. She had a soothing effect to her.

It was at that moment that I think Gut started having second thoughts about allowing me to join the pit that year. :ph34r:

LOL, ran into Ruth at the grocery store tonight.

Second thing outta her mouth was "Did you get your tickets yet?". :ph34r:

Little did she know I'm on Unca Larrys mailing list.

drumline goes friday night at the Capital Area performing Arts theater or whatever it's called. it's off 83...same exit you use to get to Red Land, but turn left off the exit instead of right for Red Land.

Saturday we're gathering at 9 to unload, tune, warmup etc, then on stage at 10. with hopefully no issues, we're at Strawberry Square eating by 1.

From there, unsure of formal warm up times. If the weather is nice, we usually aim for over on the steps on the side of the Capital building. In past years if that's taken, we've gone back behind the Forum or by the water fountain at the back of the capital.
