July 20, Clifton, NJ (DCA)

Thanks to Joe Dziezawiec for directly emailing this review to us!

Marine Corps exhibition pre-contest well received.
Yankee Rebels Alumni exhibition post contest was a blast!
Crowd wild over back corner entrance, color pre, exit & fanfare.
Cabs alumni corps is SERIOUS. They played all Cab favorites back
to 50's.  I saw many faces from the 50's & 60's, too. Alumni had 
four less horns and four more drums than varsity
Cabs.  After presentation, both corps formed on field for
Flamenco.  Excellent night!  BTW anyone looking for a
real pro for announcer---Fran Haring of Maryland did an
outstanding job.

A few comments maybe you agree - maybe not  -- remember all comments are
meant in FUN.....

Hawthorne  ( or Ponzo and the band ) - is it me or does every song sound
the same?  and with that number of horns on the field can't the drill be a
little more exciting?  or would the hornline passout?  :-)

Bushwackers  - ah...nice show....ah..what was it?  just kidding - call me
crazy but for once in my life I LIKED their show  or maybe it was the cute
blonde bari ( hi MS )- it sounded like they were a little off but still
good:-)

Sunrisers - good drill - great drums but the drums seem to be in their own
show at times  or did the horns just run out of steam....?  was that Stan
playing a solo - what is DCA coming to!!!  Sun will be great in Aug - ( as
they always are )  just fill the holes  - and get some strong sop's :-) 

Hurricanes - ah....I'll pass....one comment - was it me or did anyone else
have a hard time following the melody line?  almost thought I was hearing
the Bushwackers for a minute.. Hey CJ - nice birdcalls  where did you
learn to do those?  CMCC or Madison :-)

Sky - I thought I had died and gone to HELL....but someone told me that
most of the players (horn) are new...if so then OK....if not....Urghhhhhh
- but it's good to see them anyway :-)

Chieftains - nice show - but the horns did'nt project any ENERGY on the
songbook.... so I had a hard time getting into it.  Maybe they were
tired...?    :-)

Reading - sorry could'nt hear the show..... :-)

All coments are meant in FUN so don't get too PISSED, but if the shoe
fits.....

The FEAR of success is a much GREATER fear than the FEAR of failure...
