Did we talk about that before? Kevin and I both have our pilot’s licenses (though I’m not current at the moment)…that is SOME coincidence…all of it. We definitely need to meet up!! 🙂

It seems shortly after I left they took a big step beyond horns, drums, and flags, and put a lot of dance elements in. That stuff was just barely starting to come in. Our book was from Fiddler on the Roof. Well we did have the Bottle Dance, but mostly the show style was military precision softened by a massive dose of smooth and cool. I’ve not seen a show in years, but, yes, i think i’d appreciate the effort of 50 or so musicians blending into an ensemble sound more than a synth….

gotta say though, i hope this does not sound too creepy, there’s a lot of coincidences here…
engineering profession, also own a 27FB, also a private pilot, and drum corps background. Maybe not so improbable, all the above have a geeky element to them 🙂

That’s Awesome! SCV looked great. They are one of my favorite corps. Cadets edged out Blue Devils, and SCV was third – ahead of Blue Knights.

I marched Crossmen in 1980/1981. It seems like such a short time ago, but I realized the other day that most of the staff members of today’s corps were not born yet when I marched. Ouch!

The activity has really evolved, and the shows today are absolutely stunning in their complexity and creativity. Except the synthesizers. Those have to go. Now. Seriously.
