Sure do! Never been there though. Not a sub guy. I did destroyers and amphib ships. That submarine life is not for me lol. 

Yeah, subs are a tough gig.  But they eat very well.

My first critic moment of the night. I thought RCR was better and more inspired last night musically. They should be doing a lot more with that big azz drum line.

These corps are getting me excited for the next few days. I haven’t seen live drum corps since 2018. That plane can’t get there fast enough tomorrow!

 Such wonderful full sized drumlines.  Let's get the hornline recruiting going next year.

Honestly I think OC corps should go back to the "wanna do something cool this summer?  We'll teach you to play a horn."  strategy.  It doesn't seem that recruiting existing brass players is filling the ranks with the upstream enlargement of World Class sizes.  

That said, the cost of the activity remains an issue for the "grab em and teach em" strategy too.  Some strategic investment in donors for "teaching new musicians" scholarships or something would be good.  

Frankly, that sort of scholarship is what I'd love to see DCI do as an umbrella org.  Fund 'new musician' scholarships for smaller corps as a way of getting support into those corps and drawing new populations into the activity.  

But ... DCI is the corps and the corps are the World Class and the current financial structure toward Open Class is already onerous.  Sigh.

Geez, they got a whole lot going on visually. I don't know where to focus my attention. I'll miss something neat.
