TOC Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 (edited) 10 hours ago, Triple Forte said: They did an awesome job. What a cool idea! However, they looked and sounded like a band lol. All of the drum corps who have done the parade did it with that drum corps swagger that can’t be beat 😃 Age of the director's, lack of marching conditioning, etc. would make it tough to look and play as good as most HS/College bands. Has anyone found a video of this band playing during the stoppage time in front of Macy's? Seems like most networks have edited that portion out.

Not sure if he's jolly this morning. ✅ I'd be un-jolly too if all I ate all day were green beans, artichokes and broccoli. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, they had the requisite 76 Trombones. Both in terms of membership and what they played leaving the staging area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any DCPers in that group? I actually didn't watch the parade this year. I smoked a 22 pound turkey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
