Top Secret Drum Corps

[chelidon]

For my peeps into drumming, dramatic production, or somewhat martial things, a friend send me this link today, and it's a really good show (I had to mess with and hold the volume slider throughout to get sound, though, maybe it's a browser thing):

It's a browser thing; you might have better luck with the download link.

Aren't they awesome? When I was at esteven's, she showed me a clip of them at the Edinburgh Tattoo, and my jaw dropped.

Simply amazing, indeed.

Wicked! BTW, get yer article finished OK?

PS- I think I might have left a bag with a blue pill case & assorted toiletries in the hall washroom or possibly in the living room - could you check for me? Thx!

Nope, still on it, but I got an extension until Wed -- was home today with F, who had a bad cold (thankfully not full-blown flu, knock on wood)

I found a ziplog bag with a pill case and deodorant in it, and that's all I found - is that it?

That would be it. We'll make arrangements to pick it up, maybe sometime this weekend.

So when are ya gonna come visit us CT folk, huh? Huh?? :P

Miss you guys.

And Chelidon, that was fooking awesome. I miss watching the drum line in marching band. Probably the only thing I miss about marching band. Always did love to watch them perform. And those guys were sick. Thanks for the link.

It's been waaaaay too long since we've gotten together to hang out -- we'll have to do a bardic up here, or just a big bbq weekend...

Yer welcome for the link -- reminds me of going to see the Fancy Drill Team at the Marine Corps HQ in DC (a little less military, but just as precise)

I'd have to check with the man, but I do have a free weekend coming up here (rather quickly, I realize) not this weekend, but next. Spring break and all. Won't have any free time after that until May. Hmmmmm?

The household is going out to a concert Sat night (Boys of the Lough and Dervish) -- there may still be tickets available if you want to go (http://www.lebanonoperahouse.org/events/event_detail.asp?id=483) ...and we could have a hang-out Friday eve, maybe even a little bardic... I haven't talked to the rest of the house about it, but by the calendar, anyway, it looks doable. Hmmmmm.

Looking at my schedule, and thinking about timing, I think we may have to just wait to come up until after the spring semester is over. I work on Friday until 6:30, which means we wouldn't get up there on Friday till close to midnight, which would be a very long day. If we didn't come up on Friday, it would be late after noon on Saturday when we got there, and while the concert sounds fantastic, I don't really have any free cash right now. :( That, and I'm working 6 of the 9 days of spring break, and did want to use some of that time to catch up on studying. And on top of that, I might pick up one more shift on Saturday for a little extra dough, and to keep my average hours up (so as to not lose my benefits). It was a lovely thought, though. Will just have to wait until May. Pooh.

Sounds wise - we'll get to hang out anon.

Aaargh, dunno yet. I am way overdue on posting an update on my adventures here, will try to get to it this weekend in between unpacking boxes...

Yes, it's true, I've moved yet again - this time in the middle of the work week! Susie Q is still house-sitting for my father in NH and I am now in Barre, VT. For the last 5 weeks I had been commuting from Bristol, NH to Barre, VT. 5 days a week to the tune of 150 miles and 4 hours a day on badly frost-heaved roads. All this because my rented room in Montpelier became untenable, getting down into the 30s at night and the deeply rutted and steep driveway had become almost impassable.

I'm getting into the peak busy season here, will start working 6 days a week next week through June. Hopefully sometime after that...

We miss youse guys too!!! Hugs & Squeezes!
