Everything is a struggle here. I am proud of the gatherings at Allentown, it's a special event. Some have posted on here that Allentown needs to go away, it's their opinion I respect that and so do you because you're not jumping all over them. I realize drum corps shows have changed across the country and Allentown is not the norm for show attendance. I am thrilled to get a call from my local band director who offers me a seat on the bus taking his kids to a show. He is pleased that I have band kids over that played Stairway to Heaven last year to see the Cabs who most of them never heard of playing the same theme. I am not this big negative force just because I speak my mind openly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In most cases, the not in their control is relative to the way things are now, that need change. Am flattered that you are tracking my pattern, It's a pattern of questioning authority looking inside myself for answers and knocking down doors to drive change when necessary. Maybe you don't see that some things need to change, I do and am not going away. Thanks i've been doing stuff to help DCI for years, even if at times they didnt view it as helpful, and spent many hours trying to help with housing this week. Trust me, many in DCI will curse my name if you mention it for calling them out on a variety of things and don't be flattered. it was noticable without research 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish you & I together was all that is needed to get the activity out of some of the ruts society had placed it in, recently. Even if we go about it differently. I think we would both go the extra mile for dci in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When your claim to fame is the same thing you're not so flattered about with me? Don't answer that. Read my quote below. The last thing I what to do is distract you from helping drum corp in your other insightful posts.

DCIPhan78 Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 One of my first experiences w/ DCI was going to a show in Salem,VA in '93 to see my cousin march in Bluecoats that year. I was a 14 year old high school freshman and one of my distinct memories was rolling through the parking lot with my younger brother and there were tailgates everywhere. As I was walking through the lot I heard a recording of the BD closer from "92 and literally just stopped in mid stride and just sat there with my jaw on the floor. I was absolutely hooked at that moment and then seeing a show live was all it took. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a time you could bring with you to the show the biggest boom box you could find throw in a cassette and record away. Only hope you're sober enough latter to keep up with the tape flips. One time in Giants Stadium the folks in the back of me kept pushing the box down so they could see. It was all in fun then and now boom boxes became periscopes and YT is the devil. See how far we came in protecting copyrights. Edited August 1, 2018 by Bluzes typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
