TennTux Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 NanciD asked me to post her new blog site, enjoy... Tony B) Attn:Drum Corps History buffs! I've been looking for a long time, for a way to get all my drum corps stuff out of their boxes and into everyone's view. I believe I may have found it! This is my ultimate project.... and there is much to be done. But, in the long run, it's more than well worth it for all of us! It's a Blog to house all my decades of drum corps collecting. (We are talking boxes, here). It will take *forever* to work on this... but, that's not just because of the work involved... it's because... There's always History in the making! At the bottom of each entry there is a place to add your comments. (You'll be asked to type a word first... this is to avoid excessive Blog spammers) Please feel free to add anything pertinent to the entries. Ex: Your memories, questions that you may have and/ or answers that you may have to help others out... etc. My entries from publications are going to tell a lot... but, they can't tell it all, so, that's where your knowledge / memories / and participation comes in. This is to preserve our hobby that's in our blood! Be a part of it. I ask that you all respect that this is our history here and please act responsibly and respectfully in your participation. Thanx in advance. So, here you all go: http://historical-drum-corps-publications.blogspot.com/ Bookmark it and check it often. Most of all...Enjoy!

I posted it in the Yahoo group. Hugs! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Wow! Thanx folks! I'm SO glad that you all are enjoying it!!! This isn't even the beginning, not even the ground floor... heh.. I haven't even begun yet. But, yes, after I get a good amount of these up there to work with - then all the organizing will come into play. (making it easily searchable). For right now... you'll all have to just settle for grazing. lol I'm trying to make it easy to read and tossing in colors here and there to make it less monotonous while scrolling through them. Plus, the colors help pronounce the end of one and the beginning of the next. I chose a white background so that the black and white pics would show up nicely, and the words wouldn't get lost. And I think the larger print is easier for everyone as well. Why should we only be able to view these types of publications at a reunion or whatever? They should be out here to enjoy at our leisure! Man, some of these write-ups are striking me very funny - now! I love the add on's that people are posting... I wish more folks would contribute. I love the detailed emails that I'm receiving also.... but, please, contribute them to the site, so, that everyone can enjoy them too! If you are curious about certain terminology that was used.... please ask. And if you view a question and know the answer... please answer it. Some one once asked me what is *OTL*. Well, many folks have never heard the term. So, how will now and future generations know.... unless it's explained somewhere. And when you see a photo.... and you know all the uni colors please post that as well. Example: (corps name) these were a bright yellow satin shirt and navy blue sash... etc. This way, people can envision it and also track the way the unis and / or corps colors have changed or not over the years. So, please keep adding on to help preserve all these types of details. Thanx in advance! I'm adding more all the time... day and night so check back often! And, by all means, feel free to pass along the link to anyone you think might enjoy it! http://historical-drum-corps-publications.blogspot.com/ NanciD@att.net NanciD Edited March 21, 2006 by TennTux Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NanciD Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Wow! I'm so glad that you all are enjoying this so much. This was my thinking when I was first trying to figure a way to share all this great stuff. I knew that *If you build it... they will come*. hehe Seriously, why should we have to wait til a reunion or some type of gathering... to enjoy all of this? BTW: In case any of you would like to share any of these articles.... to involk conversations on newsroups or whatever... At the bottom of each entry... it says that it was posted by me and following my name is an underlined date and time.... if you click on that... its a permalink to that entry / article / picture. You can then use that link to share the entry. Enjoy! And I hear from many folks (via email) that want to share additional tidbits about this article or that picture.... but, they didn't post a comment on the blog because they didn't want to have to *join*. That is NOT the case. I purposely set it up so that you don't have to join. The only thing you have to do is... retype a weird looking word. (This is to avoid excessive spammers) This is a History site for all of us that know and love drum corps (or want to know and love drum corps). If you ever have a comment to add that is pertinent to the article / pic., please, by all means add it.... But, don't just sign in as annonymous.... please sign your own name. No one is going to email you or whatever. But, I think your comment will mean a heck of a lot more coming from a signed person. Don't you agree? If you just have a personal comment or question to me... by all means, email me. NanciD@att.net . At any rate.... enjoy! (I better get back to adding more entries before TW sends me more email.... asking *What's the hold up?* LOL) Some folks just can't get enough.... they *need* their daily *fix*. Right, TW? PS: Yes, I've now made another post on DCP. shuddup already.
