Walter Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 I was just wondering what the earliest the corps you marched in started doing drill outside. In 1977, the Northstars from Kitchener, Ontario, Canada started doing drill OUTSIDE the second week of MARCH !!! b**bs b**bs b**bs b**bs b**bs It was one of those open winter with no snow and boy was it cold. The thing was, our first CONTEST was on May 25th in Michigan somewhere. I couldn't tell you how we did because I can't remember. B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jocko the Wonder Llama Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 RCR was actually able to start learning drill outside in February this year. Of course, last week we rehersed in the rain. <**> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apoch003 Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 We had a blimp hangar to drill in. So we started as soon as the first drill camp of the year. Usually, October or November. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Earliest Drill": Do National Guard armories count? If so, we were doing drill in January. We also used a skating rink. Elphaba WWW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PR_ducky Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 At Regiment we had an indoor fieldhouse that we would ducktape a field onto. It held almost an entire field and thats where we learned drill over the winter. Earliest I remember going out doors was maybe late march or april.

Malibu Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 For us back in the day, it was late March or early April. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimwolf359 Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 We were usually outside by mid-March. Back then when I marched our first contest was Memorial Day Weekend in Lancaster, PA. Didn't give us much time. Usually we only had the Base Drill done w/o Guard work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For us, it was in Pecatonica, IL, but I heard the place burned down several years after I aged out. In my last season, we started rehearsing outside in April.

SACMellos2010 Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 If my memory serves me correctly it was January each year at the fieldhouse or the dome, dependent on the year and then March typically outside weather permitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
