I hope phantom is okay! (topics merged)


Recommended Posts

I remember Phantom in 1986, Missouri(?) I think. Everyone had food poisoning from rusty water pipes at the school they were staying at. Ambulances that night all around the competition site. The corps had to do a standstill performance with the members they had left.

Actually, it was Stillwater, Minnesota. And the food poisoning was caused by meat in the spaghetti that had gone bad. Turns out the freezer where the meat was kept had gone out at some point. Not everyone in the corps ate the spaghetti; some had gone to Burger King (?) that was close to the school. The initial speculation was bad water.

I was the second person in the corps to become ill. I was interviewed on the floor of the ER waiting room (all the beds were full) by a local TV news crew. I heard that it aired that evening, but never saw it. Not exactly the way you want to get on TV!

I think we should start a thread of random mishaps, hijinks, and other stuff that has occured throughout the years of DCI.
