You’re enthusiasm combined with your knowledge is evident and should be great assets, not to mention education is your goal, teachers are among the hardest working (and often unappreciated) people, and this will be an amazing experience and I’m sure it won’t hurt resume wise either. Second, I’ll hopefully meet you in Lawrence, Lynn, or Cranston. Third, I hope Bluecoats gives a free day while you’re in the Boston area. July 4th is a great time to be here. I believe Bloo marches in the Plymouth (pronounced Plimith) parade and used to stay in Duxbury. The route is along the water (or as we say “the root is along the watah”, or maybe we’d say “along the hahbah”) and it’s a great place to be. Some advice, if you are in Plymouth, don’t tell locals you are enjoying Cape Cod. Only tourists consider Plymouth the Cape, actually only tourists call it Cape Cod.

However don't miss the samples at Ocean Spray provided you and the corps don't raid the bahgs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where most Massachusetts town names ending in bury are said by natives as "bree" for some reason Duxbury is usually said Ducks-berry even by the locals. The long time Catholic pastor there was the man who for many years ran the Mission Drums contest in Bahstahn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFitz19 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 As a Boston native, I don’t get why folks think we pronounce Boston, Bahstahn. We pronounce it Boston. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The “Bahstahn” or other variations is how lots of folks outside of Route 128 and buying 495 think we say the name of our city that John Winthrop called a “city upon a hill” when he first sailed into Boston on the Arbella (a name familiar to drum corps fans for another reason), is more how they hear it. Remember, people don’t hear accents where the accent is prevalent. A woman I know who taught public speaking at Boston College and St. John’s Seminary and coached many a politician claimed there were three Boston accents, the Brahmin “home of the bean and the cod” accent and the Boston Irish accent, both of which were molded into one by the Kennedy’s. However, to get the topic back on the man of the hour. I have a feeling that if someone who uses the sign in name DrumManTX talks to the locals, people are not going to ask him if he grew up in Soutie!
