A long wait for fans of both corps. Sad!!!! Can't wait for Indy! It's bitter sweet because it's almost over. Best thing my Son has ever been a part of. Thank goodness he is only 18 and we have a few more years with this crazy, fun ride! Good luck to all for the rest of the season. posted from the DrumScorps app 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same goes for during the winter - one place gets a foot of snow, another gets next to nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfrontz Posted August 3, 2017 Author Share Posted August 3, 2017 Home. A little damp, a little disappointed. Although, I will have the chance to see the Cavaliers and the Crossmen next week in Massillon, I saw the Crossmen last night in ensemble rehearsal and I might try and catch Blue Stars tomorrow as they are still in the area. I am also glad that the groups all got the walk up money tonight. That's very important for them and the show sponsors. I will say that I do not like this venue. The stands are never full, those who are in attendance are at least half high school band members, and the public address system is so substandard that I would imagine half the people are still milling around underneath the stands because they didn't hear that the show is cancelled. I have a much more enjoyable time every year at the Gateway High School show sponsored by the Bluecoats, even though it is an early season show.

As a friend once said: The forecast might call for a 30 percent chance of rain...but if it's raining where you're standing, it's 100 percent!!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terri Schehr Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 We had the same situation here. Rain all around us but nary a drop here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile, apparently all the rain and thunder in the Baltimore area today occurred within a 100-yard radius of my house. LOL.

M They need to get their feet out of the horns in the next week.I like the color guard work and their costumes. Whether the Mandarins make finals or not, I hope the fact that they were in the mix this year bolsters the organization. As to the cancellation of the show, the electronics introduce a more stringent criteria for cancellation. I can remember competing in the US Open in Marion, OH under such a downpour that I can still remember rain spattering off my horn and my pants getting heavier as they got wetter. But, it was fun 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
