Windsor Guardsmen

The **Windsor Guardsmen** were a Junior Drum Corps based in Windsor, Ontario.

## History

 File:1971 Jacket patch.jpg
The Guardsmen of Windsor were formed in 1966 by Don Robitaille and Paul Davenport, as a drill team and drum line. The first uniforms were much like the Preston Scout House who folded in 1967, except that the colours were green and white, whereas Preston's were red and black. Instructors were Leon & Sylvester Smith of the Harrow Community Band- percussion, Jack Jones of the Amherstburg Community Band- brass, and Linda Di Nard of Praesidium All Girls Drum Corps- colour guard and drill. As a corps surrounded by bands it was a hard road. Windsor in the 1960's had lots of musical options, like the Optimist Band, the Lions Club Band, theKingsville Essex Associated Band, the Amherstburg Band and the Leamington Townsmen Drum Corps.

1968 was the first evolution. The corps was now offically a"Drum & Bugle Corps". More changes included new corps colors and uniforms. Corps colors were now blue on black. The new uniforms were blue satin high color tops, black pants with blue kick pleat and Black and silver shako w/ white plumes. Color guard wore same except black skirts with blue pleats. Officers uniforms were same except white satin tops. While the Guardsmen were now a drum corps, the horn line was un-uniformed and still learning to play (this is in the era of teaching kids with "NO PRIOR EXPERIENCE").

In 1976, the corps was Great Lakes Jr. A Champion. The following year, The Guardsmen presented a totally new look. For the 1977 season, the corps was garbed in dazzling new custom made blue-on-black uniforms. The Guardsmen fielded a corps of 100 members, including a horn line of 45, a drum line of 30 and a colorguard of 25.

The Windsor Guardsmen were governed by an Executive Board of Directors and supported by a Booster Club and a Wintario project. The corps director was Don Merlo, assistant directors were Leon Smith and John Zavitz, and their Business Manager was Guy Hamel.

## Trivia

* The original corps colours were green & white.
* There were 6 different uniforms over 12yrs.
* 1966 started with single tenor drums and 1978 quinte tenors.
* Some of the 1st horns were Canadian made Whaley, Royce & Co. 1 valve donated by Toronto Optimist.

The Cavaliers

**The Cavaliers** are a junior drum corps based in Rosemont, Illinois. They are members of Drum Corps International and they compete within DCI Division I. They are one of two remaining all-male drum corps in DCI, the other being the Madison Scouts.

## History

The Cavaliers was founded in 1948 as the Boy Scout Troop 111 Drum and Bugle Corps, based on Chicago's northwest side. The corps added an American Legion sponsor the following year, becoming the Kosciuszko Post 712 Drum & Bugle Corps. In the early 50s, the boys in the corps decided to take a new name, and after some discussion (influenced by the introduction of the short-lived "Cavalier" cigarettes), the members chose to call themselves The Cavaliers adopting not only the name, but a similar logo to the image on the cigarette pack.

In 1992, The Cavaliers won their first DCI Championship. They also won in 1995, and since 2000, they have won five of the last seven DCI titles, including only the second ever three-peat(2000-2002). In 2002, The Cavaliers broke the record of all-time highest score with a score of 99.15, a record which has been tied but never actually broken.

## The Mission

The mission of The Cavaliers is to provide the members with life changing experiences, educationally and socially, which help each individual member gain realworld life skills, musical training and performance experiences.
## Traditions

### Corps Song/Somewhere Over the Rainbow

The Cavaliers' corps song is based on the US Coast Guard hymn, Semper Paratus. The words are as follows:

*We are the corps The Cavaliers,

There is no corps we fear,

We march along and sing this song,

For we know that we never never will go wrong, so*

*March onto victory Cavaliers,

As we march on through the years,

We march along and sing this song,

For we are The Cavaliers.*

Somewhere Over the Rainbow has a very special meaning to all of the members of corps. The Cavaliers adopted "Rainbow" as their song during their rise to prominence in the 1950's. A headline in the Midwest Corps News stated "Cavaliers Wish on Rainbow Comes True", and since 1951, The Cavaliers have sung Rainbow as "their" song.

Both songs are traditionally sung before every Cavaliers performance.

The Cavaliers play a medley of the two songs for encore performances and other special occasions.

### Splooie

Splooie is The Cavaliers' battle cry. Its origin and meaning is hidden.

The **Viscounts** are an inactive junior drum corps based in McHenry, Illinois.

## History

* The corps was formed in 1958, sponsored by the McHenry American Legion Post 491.

Ventures

The **Ventures** were an all-girl junior drum corps from Kitchener, Ontario, Canada.

## History

"The Ventures Drum & Bugle Corps was formed in the fall of 1972 by the late Peter Vanderkolff at the request of the Chief of Police who wanted a youth activity for young women. Originally the Ventures wore gold dresses and became affectionately known as "The Ladies In Gold". The nickname held a special meaning for each member and a definition respected by all. Since that first season thousands of young ladies have experienced the joys of belonging to the Venture program. Even though the uniform has changed many times over the years, the dedication, desire, spirit and pride retains the "Ladies Of Gold" as a unique and appealing unit.
Ventures have always been known as trendsetters in the drum corps activity. In 1984 they became the first unit to place their entire percussion ensemble in the front pit area. This revolutionary idea paved the way for a more musical approch to percussion writing and expanded new percussion sounds not previously heard within a drum corps atmosphere. The Ventures were also the first corps to adopt uniform changes within a performance with the multi-colored ponchos, which were removed layer by layer. The use of pennants and a large painted tarp for "Suite Earth" were other Venture innovations.
One of the most successful drum corps in history the Ventures won the DCI World Championships in the class "A" division 5 times! They are also the only corps in history to win both the "All Girl" and "A" Class title at the same time in 1980. In 1986 the Ventures made history again when they became the first all girl corps to place in DCIs prestigious Top 25.
In 1981 a feeder unit for the corps was established in the form of a baton corps. Within two years the baton unit evolved into a winter color guard program for girls between the ages of 7 and 12. This junior guard program proved highly successful both competitively as well as graduating many members into the drum corps.
Change came about in January of 1995 when the board of directors made the agonizing decision to suspend operations of the drum corps. Like other drum corps of the time, Ventures were faced with the two-fold challenge of finding enough girls to fill the ranks as well as increased operating costs. The resolution was to find all existing members placement with another local drum corps, The Kiwanis Kavaliers, as well as to continue the operation of the organization as a winter guard enterprise.
The junior guard program was firmly in place and the organization now added a senior program for older members. The philosophy of the Ventures has been to grow at a slow, steady pace. As the age and maturity of the Ventures increases, so does the program. With 12 Provincial and 8 Northeast Guard Circuit titles, WGI Regional finalists 16 times, and WGI A Class Finalists in 2001, 2002 and 2004, the Ventures Winter Guards have firmly established their name.[1]

Tenor

Tenor bugles were common from the 1930s into the 1950s and are akin to soprano bugles in range but with a slightly larger bore near the bell, which produces a slightly darker tone quality. Some first-chair lead buglers preferred to play tenors instead of sopranos. Tenor bugles remained in the Getzen and Elkhorn catalogs into the late 1960s but directors were by then preferring to utilize fluegelhorns for the lower parts.

Visual

Visual performance is much the same as the music performance captions with further consideration being given to the control of the performer's body while they play and manipulate their equipment. Additionally, a visual judge will examine the methodology of movement and basic alignment between performers in two sub-captions called accuracy and technique. The same recognition of achievement and encouragement for improvement is applied in the visual performance caption as in music.

**Color Guard**

The color guard sheet recognize a unique ensemble of performers who were previously overlooked in the previous judging systems. These young men and women are the personality of many of the competing units. Their use of mime, interpretive dance and movement not to mention some pretty amazing coordination while spinning a flag, tossing a rifle or sabre can enhance the overall program. Color guard can also be the center of a very special moment in the design. Judges recognize the facility, training, excellence and precision of these performers. They must further evaluate the logic of the guard’s design and their musical interpretation.

**Visual Ensemble**

The ensemble visual judge also the musical interpretation through the visual design. Here again the judge is required to consider "simultaneous responsibilities." Consideration is given to the performers' body and equipment control while presenting the development of the form. Successful corps do not simply create big, well-balanced pictures. The truly successful corps are the ones who get to these pictures without the audience realizing how they did it. They move in and out of their design effortlessly and transition from form to form or to a new piece of equipment, flag or prop effortlessly.
The most successful corps make their music sound and visual design look effortless when it is actually quite difficult.
White Sabers

The **White Sabers** are a Senior Drum Corps based in Dansville, New York.

## History

The White Sabers Drum and Bugle Corps was organized in 1928 under the sponsorship of the American Legion Daniel Goho Post #87 from Dansville, New York. The Corps later became independent as the White Sabers in 1957. In 1994, after about 14 years of absence from the activity, several former White Saber members organized an Alumni reunion. From there, an interest in performing was revived.

The Corps has members from all over Central & Western New York and Pennsylvania. We have members ranging from ages of 12 to 70 plus. Many of our current members belong to area high school bands such as Dansville, Wayland-Cohocton, Avoca, Marcus Whitman, Honeoye, Livonia, Wellsville and Athens, PA. Some of our members have marched in drum corps in the past such as the Binghamton Grenadiers, Empire Statesmen, New Horizon, Rochester Crusaders, Rochester Patriots, Watkins Glen Squires, Santa Clara Vanguard and of course the White Sabers. We also have members who have marched with the United States Marine Drum and Bugle Corps.

The Corps is pleased to have a continued relationship with the S.T.O.R.M organization (Southern Tier Organization for Recreational Music) and the Ontario Council of the Arts. These sponsorships have helped us by advising and providing equipment to enhance our performance. We wish to thank them for their ongoing support.

The Corps plans to return to the competitive arena in 2005.

The Corps will compete in the Drum Corps Associates circuit.

## Traditions

The Corps Colors are Blue, White and Black

Starting line

## Definition

The **starting line** was the left-most part of the competition field or the end zone. Up until 1972 corps were expected to begin their show lined up behind this line.

## Trivia

* This expression lives on at some shows where announcers introduce a corps that is ready for competition with: "On the starting line..."

* Finish line
* Off the line
Timing gun

## Definition

A **timing gun** was used during drum corps competitions in many competition circuits including DCI and the CDCA. It was a gun that fired blanks, usually a starter's pistol to indicate to some judges when to begin and end judging the corps that was on the field. Corps usually used the time after the gun was sounded to signify the end of some judging to "pull out all the stops" without fear of loss of points due poor technique. The gun was usually fired by the Timings and Penalties judge.

This method lent itself to the tick system of judging and the **timing gun** was phased out in DCI competitions soon after that system was replaced with the present build-up judging system.

## History

The timing gun was used in DCI through 1983. A single shot would sound on the first note of music or the first step of drill, signifying the start of the clock.

In the late 1970s and early 1980s pagers were used by DCI field execution judges to fufill the same function as the timing gun.

The show time in DCI until the 1986 season was 11 1/2 minutes, at which time the gun would sound 2 shots, to 13 minutes. At the sound of the 11 1/2 minute gun, all judging would cease except for General Effect. Another single shot would be fired at the 13 minute mark, signifying a corps going overtime.

The 11 1/2 minute gun was used by some corps for dramatic effect in their shows although it was difficult to synchronize.

1984 was the first year the timing gun (or other means of timing field judging) was not used, and judging went through the entire program in all captions from that time.

Starting in 1986, show times were reduced to 10 1/2 - 11 minutes.

DCA used the gun through the 2004 season, but as the shows were judged in their entirety, there was no time warning shot prior to the overtime gun.

## Examples

* The shot can be heard at the very end of the 1983 Spirit at Atlanta show, although they beat the gun by a bare whisker to avoid a penalty.

Trueverse

Trueverse is a split universe created by the God of Elements. It is the universe with the highest dimension and the highest intelligence of all split universes, and even surpasses all reality, but this split universe seems to escape the control of the split universe. So some people call him "Perfect Universe"

Just because he escaped from the scope of the split universe, no one except Trueeverse can enter, and no one can control this universe, except the elemental god.

Trueverse is the most mysterious and special universe in the entire split universe. The technological level and design of Trueverse are incomprehensible, because it is beyond the scope of wisdom that people can understand.

This universe is also beyond the limitations of reality and all dimensions.

All the people there have to go through hundreds of millions of years of training before they are allowed to survive. After they have gone through the training, they will all go through a special power-up ritual, which will increase their strength tens of thousands of times grade.
The Cardinals of Precious Blood

The **The Cardinals of Precious Blood** are an inactive Junior Drum Corps based in Scarborough, Ontario, Canada.

## History

**The Cardinals of Precious Blood** were formed in 1968 by a local church in Toronto, Canada, as a youth organization. The Precious Blood Cadets first appeared in competition at the 1970 Canadian National in Kitchener, fielding a corps of 22. As the corps continued to grow, a decision was made to merge with the Precious Blood Majorette Corps and change the name to The Cardinals of Precious Blood. The corps made a significant leap in members and on-field quality.

The corps grew over the years, winning many Canadian and International championships. Some highlights of the Cardinals Drum Corps included winning the US Open and Butler Penn show in 1977 in the A-class division by five points in each show. Unfortunately, the Cardinals did not go to the Drum Corps International Championships, with Black Watch winning the qualifying competition instead. In 1978, the Cardinals moved into Open Class.

The corps folded the next year, after the local church withdrew its support, a week before performing at the Toronto International Centre with Fred Sanford.

## Trivia

There is some confusion between the **The Cardinals of Precious Blood** and their feeder corps, the Cardinal Cadets, however after 1978 the corps called the Cardinals can be said to represent the Cardinal Cadets.

The Magic

The Magic Drum and Bugle Corps is based out of Orlando, Florida. The corps is a member of Drum Corps International and they compete within DCI Division I. The organization also sponsors a smaller performing ensemble known as Micro Magic and a competitive Indoor Guard.

Magic of Orlando Logo

## History

The Magic was founded as Magic of Orlando in 1989. Their first public performance was in Walt Disney World's Easter Parade and their first Drum Corps International performance was in 1990. The corps first broke the DCI top 12, making finals, in 1994.

In the early 00s Magic experienced a series of financial problems. The organization was not able to field a corps in 2000 and 2001. However, they started the performing/exhibition ensemble known as micro magic. In 2002, Magic of Orlando returned in DCI Division II, of which they became the champions with a record score of 99.05, and placed that same year 11th in Division I. The corps placed similarly in 2003.

More reorganization took placee prior to the 2004 season, and the corps placed 17th in DCI Division I competition that year in Denver. The management changed the organization's name to **The Magic** in 2005.

After the 2006 competitive season, the corps administration announce that **the Magic** would not tour in 2007. [1]

Toronto Signals Band

The **Toronto Signals Band** are a Senior Drum Corps based in Toronto, Ontario. They are also known as "Canada's Marching Ambassadors", "Sigs" or the "Second Signals".

## History

"The Toronto Signals Band have been performing for audiences throughout Canada and the United States since 1926. Originally known as the 2nd Signal Regiment, this band was the first to inaugurate the one valve trumpet (since moving to a two valve), along with the bell lyre into the trumpet and bugle band program of that era. Continuing to lead in their field, this band also introduced to the Canadian audience, the sound of three-part harmony in trumpet band music.
The Toronto Signals Band then were known as the 2nd Armoured Divisional Signals Regiment. Subsequent changes in the merging of 2nd and 8th Signals Regiments brought about the name of the Toronto Signals Regiment. In 1959, the band left the Canadian Army to form the famed Drum Corp "Canada's Marching Ambassadors", well-known in Canada and the United States. Since the integration of the Canadian Armed Forces in the early 1970's, “Sigs” as they are affectionately known, have carried on as a voluntary organization, maintaining the rich tradition and heritage of their former members. Today we continue to march as a Duty Band to the 709 (Toronto) Communications Regiment of the Canadian Armed Forces."[1]

Core

'Cores' are the world's system of grading creatures' magical potential and type.

* Humans
* Beings

An individual is born with one and cannot be changed in any way. What core will a child likely have depends both on genetic manners and mentality of the individual. Cores define what an individual is typically able to do.

### Elemental core

Ones with an elemental core can control the elements of nature in one way or another.

Some elementals have weaker abilities, and can only control the raw element. While some are able to control and deform it - ex: Turning water to jelly, or ice. Any elemental-based ability that is distinct from the basic elements - fire, water, earth, wind and electricity are called morphs.
Morphs are abilities that deformed and shifted away from their source element - ex: Lava control - origin from the fire element.

### Noble core

The general ability to spellcast. It is the widest category of magic.

Beings are also born with cores. Their cores are decided by their specie.

Rec.arts.marching.drumcorps

More commonly known as RAMD, **rec.arts.marching.drumcorps** is a Usenet group focused on the discussion of drum & bugle corps. First appearing in 1994, it is widely considered to have reached its peak of popularity in 1998. Today it along with the rest of Usenet has lost popularity with the advent of more easily accessed message boards, like Drum Corps Planet and Sound Machine. Most recently its lack of a method of moderating posts has made it prone to many off-topic and sometimes offensive posts. It is nonetheless an on-line source of drum corps information and history. It gives out annual awards to members and other drum corps sites called gRAMDies.

Pilot

**Pilot** - Pierwszy jak i zarazem jedyny odcinek Zaplecza.

## Fabuła

Odcinek zaczyna się przedstawieniem dwóch bohaterów serialu - Eona i Kicię, którzy zjeżdżają do głębokiej dziury na hulajnodze. Podczas gdy ich sprzęt zostaje na dnie dziury, oni sami zostają przetransportowani do tytułowego Zaplecza. W samym zapleczu poznajemy sporo nowych postaci, m.in. Ważniaka, Słoneczko, Kwina, Jacka i inne osoby znajdujące się tam. Łącznie w zapleczu znalazło się 18 osób. Zostały one podzielone na 3 zespoły po 6 osób.

Każda drużyna jest postawiona na oddzielnej platformie. Ten zespół, który dotrze do mety jako pierwszy wygrywa konkurencję, a drużyna która dotrze jako ostatnia, traci jednego zawodnika. W tym odcinku konkurencją, w jakiej drużyny się mierzyły, było Line Rider. Aby wygrać, drużyna jako pierwsza musiała utworzyć linię prowadzącą ją do mety. Drużyna Weed dotarła do mety jako pierwsza i wygrała konkurencję, zaś Team Hiena przegrał. Pod koniec odcinka zostało przedstawione losowanie, w którym to oglądający mogli wybrać kto z drużyny przegranych zostanie wyeliminowany. Głosowanie polegało na tym, że na ekranie zostały pokazane zdjęcia członków drużyny przegranej. Do każdego zdjęcia została podana jedna litera, tj. Chaka [A], default [B], itd. Wyniki zostaną przedstawione 1 listopada 2022 roku.

## Ciekawostki

* W odcinku dowiadujemy się po raz pierwszy o nienawiści Eona i Kici do Bomby Matematycznej.
* To jest pierwszy odcinek, w którym możemy zauważyć zauroczenie Słoneczka do Kwina.
* Również dowiadujemy się o tym, że Default jest demonem.
* Kiedy drużyny są przedstawiane, postacie są pokazywane według kolejności alfabetycznej ich imion, aczkolwiek S**t**atua Wolności jest prezentowana przed S**ł**oneczkiem, mimo że "t" w alfabecie występuje po "ł".
* Odcinek pilotażowy zawiera najwięcej komentarzy względem innych filmików na kanale Kacpira *(przynajmniej na czas pisania tej strony).*
