kevingamin Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 I know you can do this at the Citrus Bowl and also the downtown performance facility (can't remember the name right now). Also the Magic basketball team posted something on the Internet awhile back about people to perform pregame and during half time. Get the drumline there (like every other NBA team) and you won't even have to rebrand them. It's perfect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasmom Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Booths at the Citrus Bowl can be operated with as few as five people and iare overstaffed with anything more than 10. Are you seriously telling me Magic can't get 5-10 people to the Orlando area for a few hours once a week(and only once a month or so once UCF football season ends)? If so, that's not a non-local membership problem, it's a pure apathy problem. I agree. I think there are 11 or so alumni within about 15 minutes of each other. I would think some of them would help out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I could pull a few strings. Edited October 25, 2006 by MAGICisUNDERRATED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Drumline... I can't think of really one of them that was from Florida. Edited October 25, 2006 by MAGICisUNDERRATED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Maybe it's time that changed, then. Not simply for the sake of being local, but how many more opportunities could the corps pursue if it had local membership? How many junior corps hamstring themselves on off-season opportunities by not having a strong local base? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Ream Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 i agree...with all we hear about the great bands in Florida....how about recruting them? getting tables out to shows in Florida? that method helped keep an all age corps alive for 15 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CozyChopsCom Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I've read 6 pages of the current 25...I've found virtually no news. I'm barring this thread from my own personal reading. I'll find out Magic news some other way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many junior corps hamstring themselves on off-season opportunities by not having a strong local base? Well, having a local membership doesn't mean the best talent. I remember it was either 04 or 05, a majority of the Hornline was from south florida and they held a music rehearsal at Miami Springs HS. Even with Florida's great band program's, not many people march DCI (that I've met) and if they do march, it typically is not the case. in 02, and 03 I hear they had a much more local membership. I know that in 06 we had a member from Germany and Japan. Obviously there are incredible benefit's to having a local membership, but please show me a corps with mostly local member's. Being the only Div I Corps in Florida has it's benefit's, it also means in many case, we travel further (like we will back from Pasadena). It would be a lot easier to move out of state. If we did, we could have move in's at Indiana University for free, and stay in dorms. BUT when most people think Magic, of Orlando is not far behind.

Jeff Ream Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 crossmen had a majority of local area members (3-4 hours) bad programming hurt them, not the talent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
