I'll get the sleeping bag out... where do I sign up? ::looking up masochist in the dictionary:: yup says Drum Corps Support Staff !!!:rotfl2:
 
Nothing like that 3am Walmart run! :rotfl2:

150 loaves of bread, 20 jars of peanut butter, 50 gallons of milk.....

The cashier innocently asks you "How many kids do you have?"

And you reply "165!" and her jaw drops! :happytv:
 
Hello all, this is my first post. I wanted to add my two cents to the kitchen discussion and comfort of being on the road with a corps.

Welcome to the fun! Gotta love breakdowns! Gotta love the corps director going into some random McDonalds to give them a heads up....

"I'm gonna send in 165 hungry kids for breakfast in 20 minutes" :scared1:

I'll never forget the time we were pulling into some random fast food restaurant and I happened to be looking out the window.

Saw an employee in the restaurant near the window... look up to see four buses pulling into the parking lot. He had a look of sheer HORROR :scared1: on his face and then sprinted towards the back.

I'm sure they weren't very happy to see us there that day!
 

... and laundry days in small towns with 2 laundry mats and an army of 150 pillow cases full of stinky clothes marching thru town :headache:

Why do they always schedule laundry days in small towns?

Funny story, I was in some laundrymat washing all of the kitchen rags, called my Mom to pass the time. Mom says "Where are you?" I ask some lady.....lady says the name of the town....I ask "No what state am I in?"

The lady looked at me like I was crazy!:rotfl2:
 
Another funny story....

We were pulling into some small town in Indiana, Paoli I think, around 4am.

We had about 20 Japanese kids on tour with us. As the kids started waking up as the busses pulled into town, the Japanese kids got all excited! It was the first time they ever saw a small Midwestern town! All they could say in their limited English was "Ahhh look, Mayberry!" :rotfl:

And I'll take the crazy badge, as a badge of honor! Thanks!:thumbsup2

No wonder they don't actually "guard" anything anymore! Who'd take them seriously!:rotfl2:

Aaaaaah, but that's the 1978 Bottle Dance. In 1975 they used actual bottles!
Madison's guard must spend HOURS unbuckling!! :rotfl2:
 
The wonders of Velcro! :lmao:

So, in addition to looking like a reject from a 1980s Michael Jackson video, it's built as a tear-away garment?

So, you're saying that they're strippers for cash on the side?

VERY interesting! :scratchin

They should do a rifle toss over the living room!! :rotfl2: :rotfl2:
Have the couple look up, and then have no reaction at all and continue their conversation. That would be hilarious!
