You May Be An Old Phart if...


Recommended Posts

You marched with or remember seeing Tom Peashey march. (Sorry Tom)

Go to watch a rehearsal and wonder why they don't practice company fronts.

you wonder why the color guard girls aren't wearing the "go go boots" or riding boots

you get the urge to show the young'uns how to high leg lift like back in the day

and you can only do it no more than 4 times and not 10 minutes non-stop

Feel free to add more

You wonder why nobody does off-the- line, production, and color pre. And just where are the A-guard, or did they miss the bus. .....and wow, they let women march....and they don't just play loud, they actually play music, I just can't tell you what TV show it is from :worthy::wub:

You look at the front sideline and see the electrical outlet at center field.

You count the members in the corps five times and it still comes up to

135 not 128!

You count the number of judges on the field and wunder where the other 6 are!!

You look at the colour guard and see there is both guys and girls.

There is only one drum major ?

What's with the second transport truck?? It's WHAT? FOR FOOD!!!!!!!!

What's with the scaffold ? Where is the podium???

You wonder why all the yard markers are on the field. All you really need is the midfield stripe.

What's with the big tymps? Did someone steal the marching tymps?

What's up with no inspections??? Is that dirt I see there on your Dinkles?!

You don't see a mad rush from the buses to the one pay phone at each housing site because nearly every member has his/her own cell phone now.

You do see a mad rush to find wall outlets in the hall outside the gym at each housing site because nearly every member has a cell phone that needs to be recharged now.

The DCI finals ticket which cost $12.50 in Montreal and $35.00 in Jackson goes for $75.00 now. I expect to see a pair of 50 yard line seats offered on eBay at upwards of $100.00 just anytime!

Or for lap tops so the Legacy DVDs can be brought out, summer home work done, wireless chatting, blah blah blah...

Paying that much to go see drum corps is frigg'n outrageous.

And why the heck are they always running. there never seems to be time to really ring out a note or enjoy an expanding pattern. It's like watching a screensaver.
