I dont remember the piggly wiggly, I do remember a school with critters in the cafeteria, no ac and only 1 working shower(sorta... gotta love ice cold showers:scared1: ) Thank gawd for the hose??

how bout running out of gas literally 50 feet from a gas station and thus being stuck there for hours trying to get the bus going again.

Or the tire that blew out in the middle of the night, taking that entire bus's luggage, throwing it on teh food and equipment trucks, then cramming everyone onto the other 2 busses.

Or there was the fact that for 2 weeks of the season, we didn't HAVE a third bus because it broke down and thus had to either cram onto 2 busses again or I think we rented a bus or something.

I do remember a very nice bussing company based out of Denver that volunteered a driver(it was the owner actually) to come pick us up in Kansas and take us to Denver for the world championships because he loves drum corps. That's dedication.

Ahh the fun of touring with a Div II corps who was going through the growing pains on their way to Div I.

Yet I miss it oh so much

Does anyone know if the tickets for "Big, Loud, and Live" usually sell out? Since taking my DS10 to DCI on Sunday all he wants to talk about is going and watching the Cavs. Should I go ahead and buy the tickets ahead of time or will I be ok with getting the tickets when we get there? We live in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, so there isn't just one theater showing it, so it's not like there is only one theater for everyone that wants to go to choose from.
 
I've never gone, I've been lucky enough to be at Quarters the past few years, but I just asked Shrek, and he said it would be a good idea to pre-purchase your tickets. He said it sold out the past few years here in Orlando.

I would love to be able to go to the Quaters. I would really love to be able to go to finals. I wish they would show the finals at the theaters as well.
 
looks like BlueStars slipped a little bit. They're in 11th now :confused3

I'm sure they'll surge though. I hear they just got a new ending so it needs cleaning. They'll come back!

Apparently the judges are seeing something I'm not when it comes to BD. I'm stumped. :confused3 Almost a one-and-a-half point lead. Wow.

OMG!!!!
*pant*
*pant*

There was a 30-second commercial on the Food Network a few minutes ago for the local COWlumbus DCI show!!! I've never seen any promotional material for this show, except for online. I'm....amazed. :eek: It's about time!

Unfortunately, this year's show has the least amount of top-12 corps that I've seen in the past 4 or 5 years. It's a shame because Crew Stadium has great seating/views. It's a great venue, and more corps should sign up for it because COWlumbus has lots of people interested people.


Okay......I'm done now. :surfweb:

Woohooo! What a show!:thumbsup2

We took a bus of 35 kids from DS's high school band to see this...drove 4 hours on a stinkin' yellow school bus...:scared: But it was so worth it! The kids who knew about DCI were thrilled and the kids who'd just heard about it got even more excited about marching season. It was a great oppportunity and DS and the other kids who are wanting to try out for corps this fall. But man, do those kids work their behinds off!!!

Here are a few shots I took...just tried to get some of each group.
