xandandl Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Tom Corkhill first offered at the Carolina Drum Corps Association meetings to name the new corps "Carolina Crown" as Crown City was the moniker used in Charlotte's history after its namesake Queen Charlotte. Moe (Maureen) Smith has quietly but SO effectively been that energetic power behind the throne to make everything there work so smoothly these 30 years. She certainly deserves this. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/moe-smith-retirement-party-tickets-74865583977 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't even realize they'd been around for 30 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're the best. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GBugler Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Someone at those early meetings (who shall remain nameless) also (semi-jokingly) suggested the name "The Charlotteans." Glad that one didn't take. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Flat Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Does anyone know if John Escalate is returning as the corps choreographer? I thought he did a good job in 2019 and a choreographer is mandatory in today's drum corps world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
