BRASSO Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 (edited) The ubiquitous......"BUMP" " Summer Music Games " " Camp tryouts " ( and here I am thinking, marchers would be trying out for positions in " Corps", not " Camps ". But in reality it turns out that after a couple of go arounds, many were in fact trying out for " Camp" ) Edited February 17, 2010 by BRASSO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Other Mike Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 This may be slightly off-topic, and I've written about this more than once, but I was in the meeting in Orlando when George presented his PowerPoint presentation about the perceptions of drum corps by the general public. He stated that the typical non-drum corps person wasn't aware of the difference between drum corps and marching band and then put up a slide that read, "Drum corps is marching band," while being careful to reinforce that this was the average perception. At no time did he actually state in his own opinion that drum corps was marching band. The slide was reported in another publication with no background explanation, and this took on a life of its own. Context at times is everything. So, to get this back on topic, my contribution to the OP's question is this; twisted "facts" that become truth due to miscommunication. But that mental image has really stuck has it not ? Give him credit for being a political mastermind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FHdork Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 "I don't know about anyone else, but the idea of bathing in chocolate really just sounds like a huge mess with little real enjoyment factor. Thus, I will always take this comment to mean that something was muddled, sloppy, and impossible to clean. (added the emoticon for 2000 Cadet's benefit. Look, here's another! )" Ummm....no - that is NOT what it's referring to...unfortunately - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRASSO Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 (edited) any thread that uses the term " WOODWINDS " is bound to put DCP moderators on" Red Alert". This is the highest level of threatened attack protection preparedness ( called " severe level" with severe risk of attack on DCP deemed " extremely likely " and also" imminent " ) . It immediately calls on all site moderators to don their safety gear and prepare for an all out nuclear response which can instantly make that thread disapear into the next universe with the push of the nuclear option button, thus returning the site to the " Blue Alert level ". Blue as in " guarded " level of expected attack and preparedness. Edited February 17, 2010 by BRASSO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
