LucyGuy66 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Yes John, the Bridgeport show IS the Barnum Festival. Also the top 5 corps from 2011 will be there along with Cabs Alum. Looks like a great show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyroo Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 Ah - am I missing something here, Andy? Or are you???? Last I checked, the Bridgeport show IS the Barnum. Perhaps I'm underestimating the depth of your rich toungue-in-cheek humor. Incidentally, check the Barnum Festival website and look at the lineup for the Parade of Champions, both competing and exhibitions. Another great bargain at $5, and the first look at the reigning DCA Champs in the east this summer. John, I thought you know me better than that. I was just trying to throw Andy Lisko off his stride. Instead, I gave you pause.... Oh well, one way or the other, my work here is done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bushwackers, Hurricanes, Caballeros, Empire Statesmen, Buccaneers and Minnesota Brass... plus the alumni corps in exhibition. That is as good as it gets for an early-season DCA show. All for five dollars. Amazing. Last year, the concert-side stands were filled, just like the "old days" at the Barnum Festival. This year, with that lineup and that great price... I would think we'll see another big crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time we've been at the same show, I've been off doing something else - so I have yet to see them on the field. I'm going to make it a point to see them this time.

LegalEagle50 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 The Brassmen have a very very nice sound IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
