Galen Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Looks like a nice venue! :thumbup:/> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushdm86 Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 Thanks Galen! Great photos. The field is right on top of the stands and the corps will be right in the faces of the audience. Imagine seeing the Bucs, Cabs, Hurcs, Cadets 2, Fusion, White Sabers and Bush that close! The center section will be reserve seating at $20 per ticket and the rest of the seating will be general admission at $15 per ticket. It will be a great evening of drum corps.

Galen Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 To be fair, I found them on Patch.com. That said, I agree with you when you say that fans are in for a good night of intimate, up-close-and-personal drum corps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelloEvan Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 That stadium has had lots of renovation done to it. If I stayed in my hometown, I would've gone to that school. The music program there has come a LONG WAY thanks to their new director. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John, from what I remember, Woodbridge H.S. was the scene of some great junior-corps shows in the 1970s. I recall seeing the Troopers and Santa Clara Vanguard there in 1973, when they were the top two corps in DCI. So... if my memory serves me correctly... you guys are reviving a drum corps tradition in that neck of the woods, and I wish you well with this venture!!!

MelloEvan Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I had no idea of all the drum corps history that happened in the town where I grew up! All I knew was that Dillon Music has been there since I was born. I've been learning new things about the town every day like how Al Chez used to march in the Saints Drum Corps which was in Woodbridge back in the day. I'm just so thrilled to see how things are coming back to that town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushdm86 Posted May 5, 2013 Author Share Posted May 5, 2013 Hi Fran. Yes, that was a great show back in 1973 at Woodbridge HS. The Saints sponsored the show and I remember going with our band director and a few other students. I saw Santa Clara for the first time and Troopers for just the second time in my then short life. I didn't understand or appreciate Santa Clara's show and I thought the Troopers were much better. Santa Clara won the show and being just shy of 16, and knowing everything in the world about drum corps, I thought the Troopers should have won. My band director advised me just how wrong I was about Santa Clara and they went on to win DCI that year. Years later listening to '73 Santa Clara I realized how wrong I was about them. Hard to realize that was 40 years ago and we are having another show in Woodbridge in August. Hope to see a lot of Saints alumni, and other junior/senior corps alumni at this show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
