Huntington Mallets Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 (edited) America, you live in a drum corps world, you just don’t know it yet. That's sig-worthy B) *edit* " I was more than willing to go: Drumline had just hit theaters, and it had set free within me a shaking, teen-style thrill of percussion. I even managed to talk two friends into making the haul with me out to Diablo Valley (community) College in Pleasant Hill, an hour’s drive up and in from San Francisco. " See, Drumline isn't THAT bad Edited September 7, 2006 by Huntington Mallets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildabeast Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Nice read. Referring to Precision West as the Performance West Championships caught me off guard a little bit, but still a good article from someone who just got their feet wet.

madscout96 Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Excellent article! I thought it was funny that he (or the editor) took this excerpt and put it in big, bold print: "Drill attire tends to be appropriately summer-weight, with lots of shirtless young men and girls in short shorts and bikini tops. By the time the end-of-summer championships roll around, the DCI kids are deeply, eerily tanned." If THAT doesn't make kids wanna do drum corps, I don't know what will! :P Oh yeah, and the spartan frenching on the bus comment was funny too. I also liked his comment about amped vocals: "The piece showcased the four essential American freedoms as outlined by Franklin Delano Roosevelt: freedom of speech, freedom to worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear, each of which was addressed with the pained literalness of R. Kelly’s “Trapped in the Closet.”" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
