Jaminbenb Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 In short, I had a happier and much more enjoyable experience in 1984 in 15th place than I did in 1983 when we were 4th. Wait till I get to 83. The gloves will come off as much as I can allow them to protect the guilty. And much of it had to do with people who came in for that season and that season only and pretty much turned us into a marching Telenovela... yeah....my "10 minutes" in the corps in 1984 was a LOT more fun than 1983! Talk about a breaking point! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaminbenb Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Philly thing. apparently originated from guys whose fathers were in the roofers union (which was just a little mobbed up) Well the "roofer head" thing and the hydration...Robbie was all over the water breaks... Except for how Santoro described his year in Cadets almost everyone I knew that marched DCI was under a staff that gave plenty of breaks, pushed hydration, sun screen, and proper body/head cover.

Cadets are known for intense rehearsals. I was stunned the actually had a free day last year when they went West. but...in 95, the Stroudsburg weekend...it was ####### Africa hot......and the school we were at forgot to mow their jungle so we were on concrete. Staff found this out Friday, so we drove up there Friday night and rehearsed in the air conditioned gym from like 10-2. Slept in til 10, then outside...and once outside you weren't allowed to go back in the AC. Every 20 minutes, water break, no exceptions. When that thunderstorm hit shortly after rehearsal ended, you never saw a corps so refreshed. Until we went on the field and had a mini meltdown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigW Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Didn't know they did a West Coast swing last season. Not a bad thing. Did they have to go West because the shows out this way are drying up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they have to go West because the shows out this way are drying up? nope. YEA ran several shows in the East. They hadn't been there, other than finals in 07 since 2001. and the big guns are now all trying to travel more to solidify their G7 stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigW Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 I know YEA! has all the shows in this region except the simulcasts and East. I just wish someone else hosted a show out here.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
