How many of you have marched in a...?

Post by Madame_Spooky » Wed Apr 28, 2004 5:19 pm

Just to satisfy my curiousity...

How many of you have marched in a drum corp, bugle corp, independent group over the summer or for winterguard?

More than once?

When?

Which group?

This past summer was my first drum corps experience. I marched colorguard with Pacific Crest. It was so much fun. If you are even thinking about marching drum corps, you should try it. It was awesome! :D

Hehe,
I marched Pacific Crest this past summer and the one before that. I was in the 40 person guard that debued those freaking boxes and the 1st to go w/the corp to DCI Finals. Could barely stand them but got to give it to Don...they look good from far away.. :roll: Too bad for me but I agedout this past summer and I'm done...it was definately an experience that I'll never forget..met tons of people :hug: , made a handful of new friends that I then got to march winter with (love you guys! :cheers: ) and learned worked and techniques that I can only build with and pass along where ever I go to teach.. :cool2: I'll miss it in some ways but I'm done :zzz: Winter wise, I've marched with the Black Knights since '97. I did the drumline before there was a guard then I moved onto the guard until I agedout this year. Yah...I'm done..but bored..now I teach at La Canada HS..(sharkbait!).

'97- '02 BK- Drumline shows that I never remembered the name to
'02 BK- Mimes
'02 PC- Reinvention
'03 BK- The Glass House
'03 PC- Invocation of Power
'04 BK- Annilation

Ghetto Booty?

Post by cggirl353 » Fri Apr 30, 2004 6:28 am

I unfortunately have not marched with any Drum Corps. I hear it's a lot of fun but I don't know if I would like not having my break from guard. I like having the sumer for myself. 8-) Besides, not doing anything during the summer makes me anticipate winter guard a lot more. I think I might march a Drum Corps before I age out. As far as winter guard goes, I, like cgmime have been with Black Knights FOREVER! 4 years. :shock: I can't beat the drive (10 mins) :D

BTW, D, I will keep the booty alive too! I have no choice! :oops: Watch out J Lo! BK girls got yo back now! :lol:

If my pic below doesn't give it away....

Last summer was my first year marching drum corps and this will be my 2nd year with Mandarins. There are no groups around where I am to march winter guard and with school and all it's really my only opportunity to march.

I remember seeing you PC people always pass by with those silver boxes, I never got to see your guys' show seeing as we were always on after you. Best of luck to you guys this season.

i have yet to experience the drum corps life... i want to so bad! but oh well, if i want to march winter than i need to save up over summer. I have marched two years in a row on an independent winterguard though. First with a little A guard called Greatest Discovery. The i marched Pacific Crest this winter, and you can bet i will march again next winter!!!! Independent is SOOOOO much better than a school colorguard. you dont have all the stupid drama, or the stupid school rules, and no boosters!!! Independent is GREAT! :D

My first!

Well, this past season was my first ever in guard. Black Knights...(White Mornings hehe) Anywho. It was an experience I'll never forget. Made tons of friends! I miss them all so much. I have to agree with CGGirl353 (Swetlana) I think that taking the summer off builds anticipation for the winter. As much as I love guard I don't think I could do it all year long...*cough* BatManDominated *cough* jk. Can't wait to see you at Summer Sessions...hope you'll bring the Tape! LOL. Deanna...I miss you, and don't forget...Call the cops, gurl! LMAO. Miss everyone!
