skevinp Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 In Texas, the backbone of the morality that sustains our economy and society and is the light of freedom that illuminates the world and the heavens, drum corps may well be evidence of our decline. Today I re-read the Documents of our Founding Fathers, including the Constitution and Federalist Papers, and I saw nothing about the right to march nude on football fields while playing Gabriel's Trumpet. I say - arrest those nude libs before they corrupt the Republic of Texas! Or the Texans could just avert their eyes and await the Apocalypse. DCI people are too freaky evil to be Raptured anyway, so let them rehearse in hell. All the Raptured should get a great and free view of their shows from the Press Box in the Clouds. Yes, in addition to ignoring multiple community guidelines, let's insult the entire state of Texas. It's not like DCI needs them for anything. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasgre2000 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 If I had a kid in a corps, I would hope the corps had a shirts-on rule. Not for "morality" reasons, but to prevent skin cancer. I see pictures of kids who are roasted by the end of the season. That is very unhealthy. Many if them will regret it 20 years from now. There's new athletic shirts made of material that keeps you cooler than going shirtless. Rehearsing in as little clothing as possible is a drum corps tradition that should be done away with.

chaos001 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I didn't hear about the undercover being hired Dub. And please PM me with the offenders name as that was not in the info I received. Irony is I worked with a guy who moonlighted as a Shaad Security guard around that area. Would have been funny as Hell if he had pulled that duty as he enjoys joking with Kris and myself. Favorite corps shirt was seen as DCA Prelims ca 2003..... flaming pink with a pic of a mouthpiece.... and in big letters "BLOW ME!" Better than the "Drum Corps Sucks" [/b{shirts sold at shows in 1976. DCA corps were telling their members they could buy it but don't wear it near the corps or with the uni. PS - after the second concert there I had to call the school that one of their HC bathroom stalls was not ADA (Americans With Disabilities Act) compliant. Woman who answered was not too "cheery" and facilities guy didn't believe me but would check. 15 minutes later he called back sounding almost in tears. All the bathrooms had been remodeled for Handicapped access two years before but that one somehow was missing the hand rails. Guy was blubbering how much trouble they would be in if the state or Fed had noticed. Just got the feeling that parts of that district are wound waaaaaay too tight. They're back this year. Check out the lots. A bunch of kids in the corps have them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liahona Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Remember last year when some local paper posted pics of a corps rehearsing (Bluecoats? Maybe?) and a lot of people were getting angry at the paper for publishing child pornography? Here was the DCP discussion about it... http://www.drumcorpsplanet.com/forums/index.php/topic/157365-bluecoats-get-some-publicity-and-controversy-in-new-jersey/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like DCI needs them for anything. What?? And it's not like Jerry Jones hasn't already insulted the entire state of Texas??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
