greg_orangecounty Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Finals always falls around my birthday, so on Saturday night we have a dinner. After everyone leaves, I go out on the patio with a cigar and my 4th or 5th glass of Paso Robles cab. I fire-up my laptop to see who came in second to Blue Devils. My wife calls down from upstairs to ask if I’m coming to bed. I tell her “in a minute” and then spend the next couple hours watching old-school Drum Corps on YouTube while reminiscing to myself. It’s a tradition I’ll miss this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim K Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Saturday of finals week: I would have slept in this morning because I was tired after two full days of drum corps. I would still be up at a reasonable hour, probably 7:30. Sleeping in for me is more about not waking up to an alarm clock. I’d enjoy breakfast, decide I was going to skip DrumLine Battle and SoundSport, then change my mind figuring it’s only once a year, I travel all this way, they deserve support, etc. and go and I would enjoy it. I’d poke around Downtown Indy a bit, take a nap, meet up with friends and make another Shapiro’s visit, and then head to LOS. What will I be doing today? Going to Costco to pick up a few things, then I’m getting an oil change and since I’m moving at the end of the month, I may do a little packing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corps8294 Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Facepalming and laughing at the Madison Scouts thread; another year of Madison alumni and fans b**ching, complaining, and bickering over their corps placement, show choices, and thinking they should always be up on top with the Blue Devils because they are the Madison Scouts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keystone3ply Posted August 9, 2020 Author Share Posted August 9, 2020 (edited) Sunday, August 9, 2020: It's a pleasant 68 degrees this morning, so for a final time, breakfast on the hotel terrace. Incredible weather for Championship Week. Weather check & check in for flights; Sunny, Hi in the upper 80s with calm winds @IND. 20% chance of storms connection @ATL. Did the Blue Devils win last night? I know SCV won percussion. Here's a montage of the Top 12 from 2019. Till next season if there is a season...
