oldguard Posted November 9, 2006 Author Share Posted November 9, 2006 What a great thread. If only we could experience more threads like this throughout the season. It is amazing how much negativity is posted on DCP at times. I think sometimes we forget to look back and remember, and understand that people too numerous to mention that have touched OUR lives in a positive way are likely looking back and share a memory that puts a smile on THEIR face, thanks to numero uno (insert own name here). The experience of marching drum corps would be nothing without the name and faces we attach to all the wonderful memories. Mork, Joe, Hansen, Route, Weeks, Furlano, Butler, Conniff,.........the list goes on forever........... It surprises me that people are still reading my ramblings ... maybe it shouldn't though ... I think that you are right and that there are many, many kids marching today that need to hear sometimes that their efforts have made a positive impact and impression upon their audience. It doesn't take an expert to write a review about what they enjoyed in a particular show. I am not a great expert on today's drum corps technique and sometimes I mix up the specific details about a particular corps' show ... a couple of reviews I wrote in the early season on Citations and Jersey Surf come to mind ... but no one from these corps ever called me on my errors, because I think they knew that my intent was to encourage them and thank them for their show. Thanksgiving is coming up ... ... maybe a few of us who were in the stands could take the time to write a few words of thanks to the kids who chose to march last summer.

oldguard Posted November 10, 2006 Author Share Posted November 10, 2006 Please excuse one more public response to a private message from a corps member: I am truly touched that you feel my reviews have encouraged you and your corps in a performance. It certainly makes my day. Please always remember, though, that most people in the stands who have enjoyed your performance will never visit DCP or write a review. They are the people who stand and applaud at the end of your show as you pass in review. We are the nameless faces in the crowd who come because we just love to see you march. Thank you. I am really looking forward to seeing what you bring to the field next summer. May you have a great year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
