Monday Memory: The first time the community helped fund the need
The 2020 Bluecoats are at about 80% of their funding goal, as Fall approaches, in trying to replace lost revenue from a canceled drum corps season and a pandemic-paused Bingo operation. Our drum corps community has helped in large part filled the funding gap. But it’s not the first time the community has come up big for the Canton organization.
Monday Memory: When it took three days to get a contest finished
In modern days, drum corps pull into a power regional and perform once. But it used to be to play the regional Final, you had to place high enough in prelims. Twenty years ago that was a same day gig, doing prelims in the morning and those who made finals got to play again that night. At best a corps might spend two days in town for this one show. But there was a time when it took three days to figure out who was in Finals. And it wasn’t for a regional.
