CAMP PHOTOS ARE BACK!

Drum Corps is Evil.

I flew up to San Francisco for Renegades rehearsals this weekend. We got the ballad (My Immortal) on the field. The Vampire medallions are in, and the first of the 7 levitating coffins are in the opener. Speaking of which, the technology our resident engineer name Jed used to invent the levitating coffin illusion should be patented (really), as I've never seen anything like it. Once we get these fully incorporated into the show, the result should be Beatlemania.

So far, each piece of the 2007 show has been incredible, and this weekend was no exception. We have two camps before the first show, to add Stone Ground Seven, and then the closing piece of music. We didn't have the closer figured out until Sunday morning, when Chris and I went into a Starbucks and mapped out a Genius ending to My Immortal (expect the unexpected).We have had some great shows over the years with Renegades, but if I had to pick one, and only one show, to represent all of my years with Renegades, My Immortal would probably be it. This show is on another level, specially from a theatrical standpoint.

The Key to Success for the 2007 Renegades, however, is getting the members to rehearsal. We have a drum line, we have a full maniac guard, and we got a fantastic horn line that is coming into its own as a force to be reckoned with. The downside is that rehearsal attendence, especially among the horns and drums has not been the best. Truth be told, it is hard for me to be critical of others, as my new-found 100 mph law practice has made it difficult for me to get to rehearsal as well. But, if the corps commits to getting to rehearsal, this will be the best Renegades corps to ever take the field at DCA, by a lot.

And you can quote me on that.

There are many reasons to march Renegades. For me below is a list of my top 10.....

1. You can get a great tan, while being outside for a few hours on the weekend.

2. Every camp something funny happens.

4. Everyone is working for the same common goal you are.

5. You can make a lot of new friends.

6. You can re-solidfy old friendships and memories.

View of the Bay

We had nothing but beautiful weather this past weekend. The guard learned all of the drill AND work for Jazz Police. I have to say that I am way excited about this season. It seems that all of our hard work pre-season is working for us.

I think Corp needs Contras, and snare players.

Saturday was a great time to chill and hang out with other sections of the corp. The potluck was fun for all. I know the guard had fun. So, those of you comtemplating marching...dust of your insturments and come join the fun. The more the merrier. You will not regret marching this season. 2007 is our season. 7
