Good luck with your move. I’m going to be completely honest with you. It’s stressful and exhausting and unless a hurricane carries my ### out of here, I’m leaving this place feet first. No more moves for me. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a smaller ranch house and HC ramp to front door so (hopefully) set. Actually shouldn’t laugh about feet first as that’s how the last male owner left. Was talking to town mayor and he was on EMS when it happened. “Wait a minute … I know your house…. have I got a story for you. Porch was overgrown and we almost flipped him out of the gurney when a wheel caught the bushes. Real three stooges stuff”. Place was fixer upper when we bought it. 🤪 Edited June 3, 2022 by JimF-LowBari 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could , and probably will, happen this summer. I hope they have the finances. Any tour manager or corps director who gets the group out on the road without cash and reserves, including contingencies for rising prices, should get out of drum corps. I know things like this have happened in the past, and it's sometimes fun to tell those stories. But it's obviously irresponsible. Maybe even immature of anyone in charge. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romeo Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Don’t know where $8 a gallon in Cali is coming from. LA it’s around $6.60 with diesel hovering around $6.65 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
