MikeRapp Posted July 27, 2017 Author Share Posted July 27, 2017 Btw, weather forecast for Friday is a massive break in the weather. After a month in the 90s, we are expected to be in the low 80s on Friday. Some chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms early, but we should be clear and cool by show time. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reed Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 As a band director in the Nashville area, I take my entire band to this show, and I love hearing the kids who've never seen drum corps before so excited on the bus ride home! One of the highlights every year... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the highlights every year... I joined a drum corps because my band director exposed us to it. He invited a corps to hold their camp at our school. He would play old Fleetwoods of Cabs and Yankee Rebels for us. It captured a few of us. He changed my life. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My high school band director wasn't supportive of drum corps (70's). As my own protest, I refused to be in his marching band, in spite of participating in the concert bands. Times have certainly changed. I showed him, huh? Band programs across the county today overwhelmingly help contribute to the overall success of the activity. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was my junior high band director who loved drum corps. Especially Cabs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those of us who share a passion called drum and bugle corps, those that introduced us to the activity are forever etched into our memories. Drum corps truly is life-changing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
