eddylyons Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 SALEM, OREGON - Eddy Lyons, Director of the debut fantasy drum and bugle corps Cacaphony, issued an apology for the unfortunate mishap the crowd witnessed at the June 29 Salem, Oregon, show. "What was meant to be a nod toward one of the local Oregon universities and their mascot, unfortunately turned into a comedy of errors. This was due in part to several members of the corps being absent from the show that night, due to unforeseen intestinal problems brought on by bad shellfish consumed at the Airport Howard Johnson's, in addition to one member's unfortunate misalignment on the field which had a cascading effect on those members who marched in line subsequently behind him. I don't believe there was any way to avoid what happened and can assure fans at future shows that it won't happen again and is certainly not a permanent fixture in the show's design." Lyons further elaborated that the corps drill would have formed the words "Go Ducks!" in honor of the University of Oregon, which many of the members of the corps call home. Due to the member absences and the drill mistake, the "o" on Go and the "D" in ducks were misformed. The resulting formation was an unfortunate descriptive phrase concerning the G7. Cacaphony regrets the error. Mostly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CloudHype Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Good thing we don't have the G7 in DCPI but I've heard rumors of a "F" group having talks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
