DRUM COPRS - SUMMER PICTURES




Summer Faces:

Now as the tans on our head and hands start to fade, lets look back at the Faces Of Summer. JEM Films traveled around the country and brought back these memories of that glorious summer of 2K9 to cherish again. If we are lucky we might have another chance in the light as the earth turns sunwards again. Until then, as the leaves of red and gold race past our window, dig these faces and cuddle up with a friend and watch Throw It Down The densely interwoven saga of that one glorious summer in the sun for a champion corps…

THROW IT DOWN AT DCA FINALS WEEKEND

SHOTS FROM DCA FINALS WEEKEND



















Throw It Down was a sponsor at the DCA finals in Rochester, Labor Day weekend. Friday night was a Drum Corps Block-Party downtown with I&E and Mini-Corps performances. A true Fan-Fest with great performances all around.


For me the highlight of the weekend was the Alumni show on Sunday morning. Here is the line-up: Lots of Canadian representation eh.



1. Mighty St. Joe's - LeRoy, NY (Love the selection)

2. Les Diplomates - Quebec City, Quebec, Canada

3. Skyliners Alumni - New York, NY (Also great at Mini-Corps show)

4. Scout House Alumni - Preston, Ontario, Canada (short shorts & Waltzing Matilda)

5. Crusaders Sr. Corps - Boston, MA

6. Optimists - Toronto, Ontario, Canada

7. Bridgemen Alumni - Bayonne, NJ (Fun and strong musically) crowd went bananas.

8. Park City Pride - Bridgeport, CT (Always fantastic)

9. Caballeros Alumni - Hawthorne, NJ (Powerful & Mr. Russo leading)



Big crowd at finals on Sunday night. Reading Bucs are like the old Green Bay Packers minus Ray Nitschke.



Gasps from crowd when Hurricanes were announced in fourth place. ????



It would be great if more people were aware of a truly great weekend. The Drum Corps activity is very positive and upbeat. A slice of Americana.

For most of the crowd it seemed like old home week.

Will the word ever get out to the masses ? Can the marketing code be broken ?
