I remember performing in front of kids my age when I was in drum corps, like when we went to high schools and I was still in high school. Made me feel great.
I’m so disappointed they cut out that beautiful melody at around 1:27 later into the season, but after seeing the drill for that year, I can see why they might have done that.
I stumbled over (your) clip in a hornline-in-the-lot mashup a while back, and the DM is a döpplegänger for my daughter during her high school DM role / Phantom Regiment DM camp 15 years ago. The subject came up today, and I searched out your clip. I immediately knew that it was no coincidence that you are a Witnessing Brother in Christ. What you did years ago, here, for whatever your reasoning, by posting this, a scenario of Believers drawn together emerges, by His Design. Outstanding! Godspeed, Jondavid.
As a DCI member loved doing these events like this and inspiring younger members. I marched 1993 Bluecoats as a top 12 but I got my start at Crown that year who was not in the top 12 at that time, and was later allowed to move up to the Bluecoats. I will always be loyal to Crown. Keep up the work by inspiring and letting dreams happen. Because of the leadership at Crown I was able to move to a top 12 corps that year. I will never forget that and never forget what I learned at Crown. LOUD IS BETTER.
