goalieguy Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I remember having to make the Midwest trip with about half the corps in 2006. Too many members could not get off in the middle of the week to make the trip. If I remember correctly it was a Friday show and a Sat show. I remember it well, Ed!!! You guys still raised a few eyebrows in Minne that year. I know a bunch of folks that asked why the holes..Some of them forgot about what is different about "part-time " drum corps..I had to "edge-a-ma-cate" them ( #### rookies)..

totaleefree Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Just wondering when was the last time Kilties won a contest with 4 or more competitors ? I hope to see good things from them in Rochester. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Just wondering when was the last time Kilties won a contest with 4 or more competitors ? I hope to see good things from them in Rochester. 1997, won the DCM Championship after placing 2nd in prelims. Although, only 2 corps were allowed to compete in the finals at DCM in that division---most years it was Kilts and Brass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.C. Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Just wondering when was the last time Kilties won a contest with 4 or more competitors ? I hope to see good things from them in Rochester. 1997 DCM Senior Championships in DeKalb, IL. Kilties beat MN Brass, Govies, and Bluegrass Brass to win the championship. Go Kilties!

camel lips Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 (edited) Why would you take a show if you know in advance a large number of members couldn't make itIn the case of MCL 2006 they had put it on the schedule early on and preached to the corps about the date and the commitment that was needed from the membership. It was not till the week of the show that corps members started dropping out left and right, there were many members in the corps that did not feel like we needed to go and we're just waffling on their responsibilities to the corps. Mid week it was decided we were going with whatever we had. It was not a popular decision witchin the corps. DCA had a rule back then if you got 4 scores in August and a prelims score you became a members corps. MCL management wanted a seat at that table. Needless to say we went with less than half the corps and met our obligations to the hosts and full field the gole of making membership .Without that all important score MCL would have never made membership .
