Tito John Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 The kid arrived back safely; overnight at my sister's home to load up all his kit and be at band camp on Tuesday. Had a long chat on Skype with him a few hours ago; the world is a happier place when you march on Saturday night LOL! Impressive guns, claims to have an eight-pack, not an ounce of fat on him (BMI of 18.9, by my reckoning). Sort of a mix of eagerness to move on and wistfulness that the camaraderie of the summer has to go back on the shelf for a while. I had to bite my tongue and hide a smile a few times as we talked, though. Evidently there's quite a grapevine out on the road; he has strong opinions about the same topics we squabble about here on DCP, most of them scandalous concerning any corps but his own. What a ride! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FHdork Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 What a great moment for a parent...especially one who is a drum corps vet themselves...(is that you?) With what corps did he march? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tito John Posted August 15, 2011 Author Share Posted August 15, 2011 (edited) What a great moment for a parent...especially one who is a drum corps vet themselves...(is that you?) With what corps did he march? No, this is all new to me. He didn't get his musical ability from my genes. If you'll allow me to deflect the question about where he marched, I'll thank you. I enjoy posting here, but I sometimes have ...ummmm...strong opinions, only occasionally backed up by knowledge. I don't want to risk blurting out something that might embarrass the kid or his corps.
