More info to follow as we finalize our school as the host facility prior to the competition at Navy-Marine Corps stadium in Annapolis, MD on July 31. Why this is identical to a post on the Crown thread by the same poster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not the exact same. We are hosting the Blue Devils before the Annapolis show at one of the schools where I am a Volunteer Instructor (Show Coordinator). We are hosting Crown earlier in July at another school. Both locations are in Purcellville, VA. I have the privilege of hosting multiple corps again this year.

As one who has been on many corps tours, finding a welcoming staff and great facility makes drum corps tour so much better. You must do a great job if they keep on returning.

We enjoy hosting and it makes for a great educational experience for our students at the beginning of the marching band season. We make sure the ensemble rehearsal in the evening is free and open to the public. We even let the corps set up their souvie tent so they can make a few bucks. We are lucky enough to have administration that enjoys drum corps. The first words out of the new principal a few years ago to our band director were "Have you ever hosted a drum corps?" Talk about music to my ears. We have hosted Blue Devils, Cavaliers and Crown since those words were uttered. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being pro active is a good thing. Better to be over confident then having no confidence I've always said, especially with the BD track record. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was on the field for BD title #1 and a couple or three others... I miss G bugles, don't care for some of the newer aspects of the activity all that much, but that's progress for ya. Just coming back to this thread and I almost pointed out bdcorno's dino nature, but he'd already roared in with his comments, even if it took him 30 minutes to type it because of his tiny T-rex arms. Those arms are why he preferred the old "snail" French Horns instead of the "baseball bat" French Horns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
