SunAndrea Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 --watching the drum major conducting the corps during its first full run-through, with the corps in full uniform. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm glad someone is watching! hahahaha just kidding. i <3 drum corps oh and Tom, #2 was hysterical. I think that up on the podium/scaffolding/whatever that monster thing was we were on, everyone's hearts just stopped for about 2 seconds until we realized what was going on. and Tom, even though I had just been reminded about 5 minutes before we started, i totally forgot y'all were gonna do that. Seriously, I love traditions like that. And once we got to the actual runthough, it was pretty good. I can't WAIT for Copiague! Yayyyy Sun!

satxdrmmr Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Tex, that was me making that really loud blaring noise at the beginning of #2. I wanted to play the first note really loud (which I did) and missed the pitch, hence the blare. What made it even better was that I was right next to the hi mom spot!Darren (our Guard Instructor) was about to run off the podium and onto the field to strangle someone. Nick had tell him to take it easy, it's tradition. Speaking of Nick, he told me he was surprised by #2 again this year. Can you believe it?! You would think that after 30+ years with the corps he would know by now when we do it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ####! That was you?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmignemi02 Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 You are right we need to start singing Bobo again, along with some of the other songs too. Some of the new people, like Andrea for example, want to know these songs and traditions, despite what Nick says. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> "Bye bye license....." "They haven't won it in at least (look at your watch) 20 minutes....." "They have rifles, they have sticks...." "She'll be coming round the mountain when she comes....."

SunRunner Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Fast-forward to the year 2025:January of that year: "I am not marching this season. The corps has won two straight DCA titles, has a full drumline, and there's no need for me to fill a spot anymore." - Larry Visconti June of that year: "The drum staff has just expanded the line. I'm marching, even though I am currently lying in a hospital bed in traction because my back went out at my first rehearsal over the weekend." - Larry Visconti JUST KIDDING Larry...welcome back to the ranks (again)!! Fran <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Fran!! Thanks for the good thoughts (?) b**bs It's a great bunch of people and I thought I would jump in and help out. I hope you can make the show - I will need help looking for my back on the field! :sos: The Sunrisers have a couple of openings - come join a great group of people and a great staff!

bumo27 Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 A ONE... A TWO... A ONE TWO THREE!! My heart just melted when I read that you guys did #2. AWESOME. Did you do the secret "2" sign with your hand right before the run thru to the vets, or was it discussed beforehand? I used to LOVE making the 2 sign, with my evil grin on right before we did it. ALWAYS surprised the staff, no matter HOW many years we'd been doing it. I have it on video from 1997 somewhere - I gotta find it. At the end of #2, you hear Scott Tomlin in the background say "So that's your tradition." In his Scott-Tomlin-voice. I love it!! Ahem... CHICAGO, CHICAGO.... Off we go into the wild blue yonder... HIIIIIIIIIII NEIGHBOR!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMoonlightChef Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 You guys have me in stiches. It puts a smile on my face remembering all that great stuff, all the great times we had, and all the great times the rookies will have and the memories they'll make. And Terri to finish your thought: '...SUCKS that back of the bus' :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
