Ghost Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Drum corps at 7,200 feet. Good luck, horn lines! And Casper is no bargain at 5,100'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xandandl Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Laramie is a great warm-up for Denver, as is Casper the next night; by the third night in Denver, they will be accustomed if staff have done their job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2muchcoffeeman Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 If they can play in Denver, they can play anywhere. Some truth in that. However, while Denver is 1 mile high, Laramie is 35 percent higher, at 1.35 miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HornTeacher Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) Definitely a sign of the times, ...the new Colorado argument: Who gets higher?! I would say "He with the most effective cultivation." And speaking of growth in Drum Corps....

troopers1 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Regarding the altitude in Laramie: I grew up there. I took great pride in the thin air argument, and we always talked about how the sea level sports teams and so forth would struggle at the altitude. But over the years I've seen sports teams from sea level come into town and win. They don't suffer at all. I personally would spend entire summers at sea level and come home and have no significant issues for band camps or whatnot. I saw a SCV Cadets corps come into Laramie and blow the doors off of a D1 corps in exhibition. So, a fit person won't be bothered enough for it to make a difference. By the time they get there, the drum corps kids will be fit people. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
