DRUM CORP August Issue Now Available

Dear Reader,

Well, here we are, about to come together in Marion and Indianapolis, IN, for the season-ending series of championship events Drum Corp International will showcase for fans who make the trek to Lucas Oil Stadium and on movie theater screens across the land and on television screens for those who won’t make the trip this time.

There’s no question this has been a competitive and exciting summer of performances, not only for the talented World Class roster of 22 corps, but also for the 14 Open Class organizations sending their corps to the big show . . . and not to be overlooked, the 10 units that ended their season in late July by choosing to not travel to DCI because of limited finances.

I’m looking forward to being in the “Circle City” to see all the corps “live” that I wasn’t able to witness in person up to this point in the season.  I’ll be in my seat all day Thursday to enjoy the programs it has taken the last six weeks to prepare for the final performance of the 2019 season and the last two days of the 47th annual gathering of drum corps from across the North American continent.

I will also anticipate next year’s visit from the United Kingdom’s Kidsgrove Scouts and Beeches, both making their first journey to DCI!

    So when Harris, a close friend and ally of Obama attacked Biden, what foreign power was she representing? Like Obama, Harris build a career serving white capitalist power, but unlike Obama (yet), she is now being exposed as the opportunist criminal she is.

    Finally the resistance seems to be reluctantly accepting the reality that their crazy impeachment delusion is dead. It died when Mueller drooled on Congress for 7 hours.

    Taking national security advice from a Cheney has already caused irreparable damage to our country. We don't need any more, thanks.
    Key question for Elizabeth Warren today - which American cities and how many American citizens are you willing to sacrifice with your policy of forcing the US to absorb a nuclear attack before we can strike back?

    Some of us are not confused by the latest dust up with Trump & Baltimore. Trump and Black leadership have one essential thing in common - both are committed to upholding white imperialist power.

    It is clear from that the Dem Party and their news media will pretend there is no such thing as US wars or even international policy. But with 64% of every discretionary tax $ going to the military. Nothing else can be done. ..

    Great Facebook ad from the Democratic Governors Association . If only leadership were as creative and tireless when it comes to campaigning and governing as they were when it comes to marginalizing Sanders.

    I’ll never forgive the Russians for making Harris prosecute parents for truancy or deny a death row inmate a DNA test
    Beware the Russian bots and their promotion of Tulsi Gabbard and sowing racial dischord, especially around Kamala Harris.

    Based on your posts I have concluded that I saved precious time by ignoring those debates. You can’t get that time back you know.

    FYI I just blocked someone because they defended Joy Reid. They weren’t rude or any. Polite in fact. Be warned. I have an itchy trigger finger.

    The problem they have with Assad is that he's not under our control and that he is successfully resisting the inevitable regime change operation. Syria was at peace before US and allies started the war.

    Of course Tulsi already made the obligatory “Assad is a brutal dictator” remark. I didn’t like that but I can’t stand Joy Reid’s hackery either. Good thing I never liked her. What a time saver.
    It really is just weird how Gabbard will not criticize Assad, no matter what. That and the Trump/Russia crowd cheering her on are things that should have come up at these now two debates she has participated in.

    Highly recommend this. Ahmed spent six weeks in Venezuela and came away with a powerful look at Venezuela’s polarized politics & the suffering caused by US sanctions and regime change campaign:
