Demographics of Marching Members Today

[MikeD]

Didn't Shane march 2 years in Cadets? Not being picky but it shows even more his desire to do DCI. And wasn't his corps in Ireland before Cadets, the Ravens?

Think it might have been 2 in the Cadets. Nor sure about Ireland.

I drove 1000 miles, one way, for camps at Phantom Regiment when I marched back in 97-98.

1000 miles uphill in the snow, in both directions.

No, but it would be around 65 degrees for the high temp in January down here on the Gulf Coast when I would leave, and by the time I got into Rockford, is was maybe 15 degrees for the high temp, if it even went that high. And lots of snow!!!! Edited September 12, 2016 by fireshane1

Isn't it great!

All those Bayou Cajuns who relish their humidity, crocs and mosquitoes were originally Arcadians before they were flung out of Canada where it snows even more than Rockford. No wonder you were attracted to it. After the first Tuesday in November, many may be moving back...

Members should be required to march with a corps within their defined drum corps region. If you live in the Midwest, you march with a corps in the Midwest. Drum Corps need more local membership. The current anything goes model is waaaay too costly for all involved.

eh,,,,NO!
