phanreg Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 11. Overheard rumor in crowd that Madison beat Phantom Regiment. PRO: Good. CON: Hope they didn't have to sound and look like every other corps to do it. Where's the stripe? ummm... that's interesting since Regiment doesn't go up against Madison until June 18.

mfrontz Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 (edited) Renegades are doing something about the future of the art form, not knocking it down as some choose to do. Mike Andrews Renegades Soprano and BDC Dad This may be an appropriate place for me to voice what I've been thinking about for a long time...my excitement about the renaissance of drum corps on the Pacific Coast. It seems only yesterday that I logged onto RAMD and read that VK was folding only a year after Freelancers and Marauders packed it in. I could hardly believe it. There were calls for DCI to intervene and save the corps. There were posts castigating BD/SCV for their lack of concern for their neighbors. When I look back on that day, I think of it as the low point of drum corps in our time. Since then... Each area that lost a Div I corps in the mid 90s has gained one back (Washington - Cascades; NorCal - Mandarins; SoCal - Pacific Crest) The Div II/III scene has remained, and Impulse has been added And NW Venture, SoCal Dream, and the Renegades have formed, giving the Pacific Coast a senior DC scene. And I'm sure I'm missing others. Plus the junior/senior corps from Asia that use California as a gateway to drum corps in the USA. As one who can only be a DC spectator and supporter, I feel the most optimistic about drum corps this summer than I have in a long time. DCI did not need to intervene to save drum corps on the Coast - the people were there to do it. Enjoy your summer. Hope to see you in Scranton.

LisaLisaMoMeesa Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 (edited) :I for one love Lee's writing - it wouldn't be Renegades if it weren't that style. Lee's writing is very good. He has deep insights into drum corps issues, and he writes with a unique style. Having said that I consider Mom (Dennis Mancini ) to be the best writer on DCP. I like both Lee and Denis' writing. There also a guy in our guard, Eric, who is an excellent writer. I'm going to ask him to post a color guard camp review here. Or guest write on the newsletter...sumpthin'. He's a beautiful writer and knows just how to capture the moment. Edited June 17, 2003 by LisaLisaMoMeesa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know that you can compare drum corps writing styles any better than you can compare apple to oranges ... but Dennis is my favorite writer on here, with a number of others in a very close second. It's all good. B) Edited June 17, 2003 by drumlaw80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Devil Legend Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 (edited) Yes....I was fortunate enough to be able to read the Renegade Journal from last year, and I must say that Lee's writing kept me interested from cover to cover. I also enjoyed the few articles he wrote for DCW/News.................keep em comin........
