Dear readers:
The activity has just completed the third week for DCI and fourth week for DCA. This edition contains reports on 10 Drum Corps International competitions and one DCA contest. Our staff writers have been extremely prompt submitting their review of the shows and our photographers have submitted some great images to choose from.
Over the course of the season I will receive between 4,000 and 5,000 photographs sent in by 14 different individuals, most of whom have been on the DCW sideline staff for quite a few years. It’s sometimes a challenge to select the images that I use in the magazine, but I’m pleased that, after going on to the Internet in May 2011, every show has been represented by a picture of every group performing, including exhibitions, alumni corps and SoundSport ensembles.
I hope everyone out there has had a chance to view many of the performances, either live, through FloMarching or the videos that are posted on-line. It’s a great season that is, unfortunately, speeding toward a conclusion. Get out there and support your favorite organizations and maybe one or two others you like and can give a boost with a donation or by purchasing a souvenir.
