Coming Attractions

I plan to spend the next several days/weeks leading up to the beginning of drum corps season proper finding nice pieces of content to add into this blog, trying to build up some contacts I can call upon to help my coverage over the season, and seeding the Internet with links back to this blog. In fact if you are stumbling across this blog as a result of one of those links: Hello! I am working hard to make this an actual web destination and will be bringing some real posting power, just as soon as I can figure out what to write about.
On that note I will share with you some of my specific plans. I would like to write up some preview material for the coming season. With dozens of corps touring North America in DCI alone I don't think I'll be able to bring comprehensive previews for everybody, but I want to at least hit the highlights. If I can fit the 2007 Classic Countdown into my schedule, I might have to go see that and write up review of the experience. I would love to interview youth who are going to be participating in a corps this season/have participated in one before and any member of a corps instructional staff. However, I realistically doubt I will be able to pull anything together before the season, so I will just try to do this when summer hit. I have a break down of drum corps for those uninitiated to the marching arts on the back burner, but I am working on compiling just the right set of clips from YouTube to make that work. Along with the standard collection of links to important drum corps sites that people are actively reading, I am setting up a system to scour the internet for any mention of drum and bugle corps, and I will try to bring you the freshest juiciest corps related links as they happen.
Enough with the teasing, you will hear from me again when I have something of value to share.
