My band camp begins this coming Monday, and it is my 45th year of doing this. Back in the 70s and 80s, it was done on essentially glorified graph paper. About 25 years ago, PYWARE was developed, and now we also use an app called UDB to actually teach the show. No more dot books! 😀 Ha. I remember "doing dots" late at night in the early 80's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One benefit of having paid for 2 months of Flo is I can listen to Flo Radio for a few weeks and it brings up nice memories of earlier seasons or I hear a show I never heard before. Just heard “Tilt”, “Avian”, and others. I heard the “The Great Event”. and wow it reminded me how much that middle 2010s Blue Knights era was special. Yeah. I am a track and field fan, so i have that coming up this weekend and will last for 10 days. I have a personal project working on so that will definitely keep me occupied for very very long, really excited about it! besides i am trying to start a meditation journey, it takes a lot of discipline and i am no where near achieving an ounce of the practice. Also I have a buddy who comes to pick me up now and then to do fun, eventful things with. I have renovation work to complete on my kitchen and bathroom Lol. Other random things may pop up that i may reject Lmao.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwillis35 Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 It's not easy. Right after Finals I always feel like summer ended even though technically summer does not end until September 21 or something like that. I managed to finish all my field charting for other bands and some music arrangements as well. Most of that has to be finished by early to mid July. I continue to gig on the trombone and try to take in as much College Football as I can. I am not as much into the NFL. Only really watch come the playoffs. This is mostly due to the Cleveland Browns having poor management. Fall is great for beautiful weekend drives on the backroads as the leaves change colors and the weather cools. We love finiding neat B&B places and going to neat and small midwest town. We will usually pick 2 or 3 weekends to hit places like Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Buffalo, Niagara Falls, Lake Chautauqua (NY), and Columbus. My girl loves Musicals, and for me it's all about the Cleveland Orchestra. As we get closer to Thanksgiving and beyond my girl and I head to NYC for a few Broadway shows. Got to see Patrick Page do his last show with Hadestown on December 30 over New Year's weekend last year. Amazing performance and incredible show. Somewhere in there if we get enough snow (usually by mid-to-late December I will go skiing, but usually Ski season in NE Ohio, Upstate NY begins in January. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keystone3ply Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 In addition to the postseason blues, I got the COVID. I was there for a week so probably those GEN COM folks in my hotel on Sunday & Monday. 😂 The local news stated there were 70k+ attendees at the game convention. Anyone else experiencing symptoms? Boo COVID! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watched and man those were some ballsy corps. You know how when certain guitarists pick up a guitar there's one song/riff that they ALWAYS play, almost instinctually? That's what the ending of 2000 Cavies is for me. Any unattended keyboards or mallet instruments in my vicinity will be subjected to Niagara Falls and they'll like it, goshdarnit! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg_orangecounty Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 The end of Drum Corps means the beginning of college football, so it's all good, no blues/depression. Fight On! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orwellian Wiress Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Immediately after DCI is college band/high school band season, so I tide myself over with that. There are some surprisingly good high school bands, some that one could honestly mistake for a drum corps. Late winter-spring is where the withdrawal kicks in. Indoor drumline is awesome but you really miss getting your face ripped off sometimes. This is also the period that begins the ritual of me constantly referencing DCI out of habit in unrelated videos. I'm sure there's some confused horror makeup artists wondering why I counted down to me spraying fake blood on myself with "One! One and four!" and "One, ch ch ah! Fiiive six seven!" instead of counting to three like a boring normal person 😛 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
