TennTux Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 I don't believe the biggest challenge in starting a mini-corps on the "Eastern Shore," as the mainland Virginians call it, would be finding members. I think the biggest challenge would be naming it. Being the wise guy I am, I'll help you with a couple of ideas. Feel free to use them. All I ask for is a free corps jacket."The Chicken Herders" or "Ranchero's de Polo" if you want a more Latin style for the new organization. "The Mother Pluckers" "The Guardians of US 301" "Purdue's Performers" "The Raging Oysters" (hopefully I'm not the only one who thinks this is funny) MoKeefus, I DO think it's funny.... b**bs I'll have to join "The Guardians of US 301". Moving from Long Island to Maryland's Eastern Shore, having nothing to do with chickens (other than living, part time, at Royal Farms and buying their fried chicken) And I live near US Rt. 301, Kent County (of course it does run from Delaware to DC so A LOT of folks live near it) :P Tony B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cin4057 Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Do you plan on joining a corps Tony? Yankee Rebels can always use some more bari. players. I'm on kent island Queen Anns County, as well as another bari. player. You could always hitch a ride w/ one of us. Working on getting an ensemble together as well. We have a rehearsal tomorrow. Weather allowing of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffUsnaDB Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 WOW! Good to know that there are so many drum corps fans on the Eastern Shore. Add me to the list! I moved to Hurlock (literally the MIDDLE of nowhere) in 2004. One of my percussion instructors used to live in Delmar, but just recently moved up to New Castle, DE. I'm up for a mini-corps....

Weather allowing of course. Cindy, Because of my health I'm not able to join any DC... If I could, I'd go back to my corps, Sunrisers. If my health improves, I'll be going to the L.I.Sunrisers Alumni Corps, Donna, my wife (guard member) and Alex, our son (bass drummer) are already in the Sunrisers Alumni Corps. Donna marched in the guard, rifle and flag lines, with the Majestic Knights, Charlestown, Mass., 1963-1968/69 St.Kevin's Majestic Knights, Dorchester, Mass., 1969 The Renegades, Everett, Mass., 1970-1973 L.I.Sunrisers, L.I.N.Y., 1975-1979, 1981-1984 Thanks you very much for your offer, I'm one of those "Ol'Pharts" that just can't see me in any other uniform other than the "Orange, White and Blue"..... I do feel honored that you would ask me... Tony B) Edited February 15, 2006 by TennTux Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffUsnaDB Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Navy's drum instructor that lived in Delmar is Steve Conaway, who does most of our percussion writing. He just moved for his full-time job up to New Castle.... Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffUsnaDB Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 ...also, I recently saw a guy walking through Hurlock wearing a Yankee Rebels jacket... any idea who that might be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dvldawg411 Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 ...also, I recently saw a guy walking through Hurlock wearing a Yankee Rebels jacket... any idea who that might be? I think the more interesting question is what the heck were you doing in Hurlock??? (Asks the Dorchester County native - yikes, did I just post that on a public forum????)

DrumDeviL Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 ...also, I recently saw a guy walking through Hurlock wearing a Yankee Rebels jacket... any idea who that might be? hmm, no idea. im seriously suprised there are this many corps ppl around here, i thought for sure the activity was dead. i know back in the miid 90's, there were 4 or 5 hs'ers that marched surf. one was the girl center snare, from like 94 or 95. so i know the activity used to thrive in this area. well, meaning there were more ppl involved. not that there were any drum corps here.
