IllianaLancerContra Posted July 31, 2022 Author Share Posted July 31, 2022 OK - we are at 74.5 years in Drum Corps; 260.5 overall. When the show tonight is on I plan to suggest to the audience to come over & post numbers. Yesterday there was over 100 on the thread, so maybe we'll get some traffic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashontheinternet Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 i have 1 full year with my HS Marching Band in 2020. i skipped the 2021 season to rebuild my mental and physical health because i was struggling for a majority of early 2021 and starting having severe pain from my developing TMJ Disorder. skipping that season is a massive regret, as my band took 1st place at state championships in our division. i am back in band and am preparing for band camp week starting tomorrow. i auditioned for The Battalion but cut myself because of aforementioned TMJ Disorder. i will audition for Blue Knights this year. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 1977, I was the DM of the Windsor Guardsmen. We lost by .2 to the Saganiers for Great Lakes DBCA championships. I was ######. So when it came time to troop Saganiers, I timed it so that our push ended right before we were to march past them. It was just number 5 bass drum booming out the tempo. We got fined $100 for that, but the corps director cracked up as he told me he was ######, too!)

And four years perfect attendance. (nerd alert!). I probably logged more hours at that high school than anyone, including the staff. What High School? I'm from Indiana as well! 4 years marching in Carmel HS Drumline, followed by 3 years teaching there under Cavaliers' Mike McIntosh. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
