The Crosstown Tornadoes did not march in any parades over this weekend. We were short two snare harnesses (which are on back order along with a snare drum from dynasty) and our uniform alterations had not quite been finished. This is one of the first Memorial Days that I have not had to march in quite a few years. It was nice to be able to do what I wanted...Course one of those things was to go to the Ansonia parade.
Holly and I went to the parade and found it to be quite fun. The Hurcs looked and sounded great and of course Mariah and Mag 7 are always crowd pleasures. They were very nice to us (it helps that Bob and two of our instructors are with the Hurcs). Holly watched and took some pointers from their major. Thanks Hurcs for your support.
Not surprising there were several fife and drum corps that were not so courteous. It was nice of one of the members of WPDC to come and talk to us( as we have been members of this corps for many years) but our understanding is he received some really nasty looks and nasty comments. Sorry, but still glad to see that not all people are butts. I would say grow up but one of the adult combination corps were equally as rude...so all I can say is get over yourselves.
Another band we did notice was the Ansonia Prep Schools band, they were small but the sure looked like they were having a great time. There drum section was pretty good to...
