    Are you stupid!  Apparently you ignorant *&#  has never been to a
legitimate drum corp show.  I did not just reply via E-mail because I wanted
people who read this group to join me in flaming the hell out of you! How can
you actually say that something is stupid unless you know what it is!
    Drum corps are not distorted or out of tune, at least the better ones arn't
Their music can be just as beatiful and soft as a symphony! Believe it!  Have
you ever seen a DCI show?  I should hope not if you think drum corps are bad
taste!  You would be astounded by the dedication that one person has to put
foward to be in one show!
    By the way, did someone ask you anyhow!  Next time you see something like
this, and decide to say something stupid, keep fat ass shut.  We don't care
what you think! The group is active with lots of people who enjoy posting and
reading about things they love.  How would you like for me to tell me that you
shouold not exist.  Next time, shut up, don't bother anyone, and if you really
feel that way about something maybe you should pay the money to attend a DCI
show and see what it is really about!

In a recent message, mhughes@miamiu.bitnet (Mike Hughes), posted a
3/4 section of the 1979 North Star drum solo "Cookout".  I marched
to that solo and don't remember any 3/4 section.  What part of the
solo was it?  If you have videotapes, what were the horns doing?
The only section I can think you were writing about was when the horns
were halted and doing hand flag work and that was either syncopated
4/4 or 3/8.
 
If you have the transcription, please send it to me (R.Vincent.Lamb@

Corps to finish in the black every year.  Behind the scenes he ran a class

Two-seven last put out a drum corps in 1985. After being as high as 2nd,
they drifted down through the pack in the 80s. They wound up in 13th place
in both 1984 and 1985.

The Lancers put out a color guard for two or three seasons in the late 80s.
They were neat guards -- small in number and a lot of body work in a very
physical show. It was a joy to have them as finalists at WGI. The color
guards are also no more.

What happened? George Bonfiglio repeats a familiar tale: not enough money!

You can hear the closer to 27th's 1983 performance during the closing credits
to this year's multi-camera Championship tapes. I assume it was broadcast
during the PBS show, too. That was a sweet little show; the last year that
they made finals.

Never forget the Charge of the Light Brigade.

I'm not familiar with the College Bowls that are held in Green Bay or Chicago.
Please elaborate.

The distinction between College Bowls and NFL games is that NFL games are
always a *home* game for one of the teams. The only exception is the Super
Bowl, which is never held in a cold-weather outdoor stadium.

Bowl Games are the closest analogy in football to DCI Nationals...the people
who go to such games are also taking a vacation. And I can ensure you that
there will never be an "Ice Bowl."

The question I asked in starting this thread was which folks who perennially
go to championships weren't planning on attending Jackson.  Further, the
championships you went to show a disturbing trend -- they're mostly in the
South. It's possible you're not purely impartial on which championship sites
you'll go to.

I heard the contract with Lansing, Jacksonville, etc. allows DCI to ditch
the site if it doesn't work out the first time around. Interestingly, the
contract also allows the cities the same option.

Good to read from you again, Niel!  Also good to read that Prodigy is working
on getting connected to the Internet.  My opinion of the service has risen
a millimeter and will rise the other 999 when I see an address with
prodigy.com at its end.

Dallas,
  I'm afraid I can't help much with the arranging. Why don't you go right
to the source and contact the Future Corps guys at Disney World?
BTW, could you tell us a little about the Calgary show band. Is it
affiliated with any universities? (I see you are posting from the
University of Calgary.) Do they compete with other bands? Pipe bands?
I have been to Canada many times and seen some great Pipe bands while 
I was there, but your group sounds a bit different. Just wondering...

--Brad.
