I prefer the expensive seats so please let me know if you have one. I could buy one at the stadium but I'd rather help someone out by buying their extra ticket if someone can't go at the last minute. I should be there around 6p or so. -Dave Sorry I missed this post. While I didn't have an extra ticket (bought mine at the stadium), I would have said hello!

Hi again everybody. My name is Kevin Gamin, Managing News Editor of Drum Corps Planet, and I welcome you to what's going to be an exciting night of drum corps! We'll be getting started shortly so get comfortable, grab your show snacks and drinks, and get ready for some drum corps excellence! Whereas, despite our having attended the same show a dozen times or more, I never see Kevin at the stadium, which didn't change tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that the year the snare line just kept getting bigger and bigger, or was that 1988? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their 2017 program is entitled "Duels and Duets". No rep listed on Corpsreps. Massillon program book says: "Dream of Tybalt", from Romeo and Juliet (Sergei Prokofiev) "Black Heart Tango" (Robert W. Smith) "Nessum Dorma", from Turandot (Giacomo Puccini) "Foil" (Robert W. Smith) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently "very interesting" turned out to mean "too low". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they used 20 snares in '89. Edited June 25, 2017 by mrk Corrected in later post - it was 1988 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I didn't have an extra ticket (bought mine at the stadium), I would have said hello! I would loved to have met you! Fantastic show, ie, ALL the corps, and great weather. I just got back to West Virginia, 2 hour drive. I'm still pumped from the adrenaline rush from the horn lines, and the Bluecoats encore is a complete show by itself.
