Formation of GC Combine for season 2

10 corps located in Gulf Coast state to form

1) Each corps to host a show and accept all 10 combine members
2) Each corps that can host a show for our 10 plus 5 from another group will be invited to "tour" 5 shows in the other groups schedule
3) Each member Corps will agee to meet a minimum # of influence points as agreed to by the group for the purpose of ticket sales by majority vote.
Example: ONLY
Division 1 - 1000 Influence points
Division 2- 600 Influence points
Division 3 - 300 Influence points
4) GCCombine will agree to hosts shows on certain weeks so that we can tour other groups shows on other weeks
Example ONLY
Week 1 - host HOME shows for 5 days - anywhere 2 days
Week 2 - Tour NEregion for 5 days attending their shows/ anywhere 2 days
Week 3 - Host HOME shows for 5 days / tour anywhere 2 days
Week 4 - Tour region X 5 days / tour 2 days
Week 5- Finals

Members would decide which corps gets those 5 tour dates.
It could be by influence or each corps gets to travel but we must assure our partner co-ops a certain # of influence points so it could be a mix of the 3 divisions in that tour.

With respect and regards

Let's hear it from the rest of the Gulf South ?

Pride of the Texas Hill Country ?
Stardusters ? Arabi Louisana
Crescent City Rebels ?

Hey Mike

Crescent City Rebels are in and I talked to Pete on the phone and he says he's in and he's calling Tommy to see if he wants to start playing.

Thanks for letting us know about this but I still don't understand this new scoring. Seems more like a festival than a contest ?

Mike, is your brother playing ?

Golden Shields would like to join if possible but looking at how the game works we will be Division 3 for a long time.

What happens if we don't get the 300 points before next season ?
Are we kicked to the curb and left behind ?

i'd like to be in

Eclipse Drum Corps

from McKinney, Tx

I would like to be in.

Phanfare Regiment from Huffman, TX (It is very close to houston)

Santa Rosa Sound would like to be involved. We are representing the Emerald Coast. Panama City / Destin / Ft. Walton / Gulf Breeze / Pensacola. I guess since we started late we will only be in our show ?

Can I join?

Nightriders Dallas TX

Hey Prof
Can we have an all GCC only contest like some of the other combines are doing ?
( or are you too chicken ? )

So Pete, you finally figured out how to play during the day in the band room ?

So THAT'S why all the rumors of you feeling sick at 1:00 ? To go play your laptop in the teachers restroom every day ?

Look PIGFACE, just do inventory control at the start of 2nd period in the uniform room and then? Oh thats right instrument inventory at the start of 7th preriod like the rest of us do.

Try to come in 13th ........like you did at VFW Dallas 1971, the you can loose 1/2 he kids to Moe and the Bleu Raeders..........maybe they wil come in 11th in prelims and fall to 12 in finals like in 72. How long did it take to rebuild that screwup Oh, thats right, steal the name of Southernairs and finally win the loosers bracket in Montreal. Jolly good show, about nothing but leftover charts from 4 different corps.

Oh look, it's tweedle dee and twidle DUMB playing drum corps and looking to steal members. Not much has changed in 40 years

I fart in your general direction

haha

Hey LORD ASS,

So what's up with "Shades" ?

It's tough to see you that far back..........................................

How do i join? Im from MIssissippi

Add you name and group to the list. Try to schedule a show either end of 1st week or during 3rd week and accept as many GCC and ECC corps as you can.

We will "try" to accept you to as many combine shows as we can.

We are pretty loose compared to the ECC who seems to have really gotten their act better arranged than ours.
