*Chuckle* Congratulations, team...we smashed him! If he bothers to show up to
class today, I let you know how foolish he looks!

Also...there's lots of posts asking where I am.....AFTER I had posted....could
people please look before they leap? (Sorry...pet peeve)

Anyway, he apologized, so it's over, and little discussion about it needs to
happen on this group....if you would like to discuss Jeff with me personally,
please send me mail...I can deal with anything.

Okay Jeff....as a "stupid" Drum Corps Nut I am....marched playing the snare
in the stupid drum & bell corps for 7 yrs....played & marched in the stupid
Jr. High, Sr. High & college band for 10 yrs....taught a stupid Drum & Bell
Corps for 2 yrs...of course, not to forget I marched in the stupid Drum and
Bugle Corps ( Commodores 1973 DCI finalist ) for 6 yrs...and now contribute
whatever extra time to chaperone, drive, cook....ect. for my sons "stupid"
Drum and Bugle Corps ( go SCV !! ) for the last 6 yrs...on and on and on...
....one could calculate ( duh, add up those numbers ) that I'm pretty damn
STUPID !!! (but, proud of it) As it turns out, wasting all that stupid
time exposed to what the stupid Drum Corps contributes/teached the young--
oh stupid things e.g.s dicipline, team work, dedication, self-esteem, basics
of managing time/money, respect of others/elders/...etc, getting along with
others regardless of whatever social or econonmic status, ...etc....ect... ,
you know, the basic stupid things you confront in life, ( uh, where was I?)
Oh, yep I can thank it all for influencing to work for Engrng/design on one
of the best computer workstations in world so I can "flame" you. Yes, youre
right, pretty stupid !!! Speaking of numbers...I notice you're on a VAX,
(did'nt those go out in the late '70s)....don't get me wrong, VAXs are great.
I onced had two VAX 11/780s...loved them...but, now I have more than the pwr
combined of those two in a little pizza box on my desk--just to "flame" You!
(forgive me...how stupid of me...got a little carried away). BUT, I will
defend the honor of STUPID Drum Corps, so one last flame...

After reading your post, I was expecting a 2-valve horn (or even
valve-rotary perhaps.)

;-)!

Later,
Bob

Could you tell us more about these? When did they come into existence?
What form did performances take? Was there judging? What kind of bells?
What did corps sound like?

More, please!
