donincardona Posted July 21, 2013 Author Share Posted July 21, 2013 No offense to the exhibition or alumni corps, I truly mean no disrespect, but as a marching member of a competing corps I found it to be a bit too much. When I marched, I enjoyed the shows, but if you had to wait for 3 exhibition corps or alumni corps, THEN full corps retreat it ended up being a long night and long travels home. i remember being on retreat till 10:30 or 11:00 when i marched. long day's back then . we always had full retreats. some DCA'S were on till after midnight.

grenadasmoothie Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 how many would you say? just ballpark figure. I'm not really good at crowd guessing, but whatever the east grandstand holds, it was over 95% full :-). So Cabs Alumni just finished their opener.

I hear ya, Don. It seemed the only "drum major" retreats were at Sunday afternoon shows... or if there was a weather problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
