TomMoore Posted June 4, 2012 Author Share Posted June 4, 2012 Yes, you did, Paul! We're very excited to be welcoming so many friends to Buc Field this Sunday! The corps had a fantastic weekend that was topped off by an inspired halftime performance at the Berks All-Star Classic football game. We're all pretty excited about The Black Symphony and can't wait to share it with fans. That all starts this Sunday. Join us! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomMoore Posted June 11, 2012 Author Share Posted June 11, 2012 Lois beat me to it...it was a beautiful day at Buc Field yesterday and a really special day to be part of the Buccaneers family. A HUGE thank you to all of the alumni, family members and friends who came out to support the corps! Special thanks to all who cooked and helped put out a fabulous barbecue for everyone to enjoy, and those who donated food to make it possible. Both ensembles put on marvelous performances, and we're excited to present The Black Symphony to fans this weekend! For me, the 'goosebumpiest' moment of the day was immediately following the competing corps' performance, when they and all Bucs alumni in attendance gathered on the field for a hearty rendition of the corps song. That field has been the site of so many magical moments over the past 30+ years, and yesterday was one of them. We're ready for Wildwood, and it's hard to believe that the earth has made a full rotation around the sun since the last time we were there...but the boardwalk, beach, and sights, smells and sounds of the shore are all indicators that a great new season of drum corps is afoot! We're looking forward to the Cabs' impeccable hospitality and seeing lots of old friends again! To all we wish fair winds, smooth sailing and a pleasant trip to Wildwood. See you in just a handful of days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
