MN DCI Fan Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Imagine my surprise when I opened my web browser to my home page (startribune.com) and found an article about drum corps on the front page! I thought it was well done, and it provides a good primer for casual and/or new fans. My only nitpick about the article is that while it talks about MBI, Chops and Govies as all-age corps, it doesn't mention DCA. But overall, it's well done.

Elmo Blatch Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 After seeing how well it was written, I couldn't help but notice the author. I wonder if he is related? Elmo Blatch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN DCI Fan Posted June 30, 2007 Author Share Posted June 30, 2007 I didn't notice that when I read the article. If he is related, you think he might have thrown Sal a bone and mentioned Glassmen. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagicBobert Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 (edited) That's gotta be one of the best general-media articles about drum corps that I've ever seen. This line, in particular, made me smile: Drum and bugle corps are not marching bands... A few years ago the media covered the drum corps show in Bakersfield, and they literally said that "a bunch of high-school marching bands came to Bakersfield to compete today." It made me want to slit my wrists. Edited June 30, 2007 by MagicBobert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
