Recently we called on drum corps fans to "spread the word" about drum corps to the uninitiated - invited longtime fans to become marching music evangelists. Ross Weckesser, a "longtime drum corps fan," sent in this shot. "This is my good friend Linda Yeo taking in her second-ever drum corps show at Indy. Her first was the Lisle show in June. She plays the bass trombone, so she was blown away by especially the brass, but also by how well everything is put together and how fast the groups move! She's already a fan for life!" Thanks Ross! We're asking each of you to reach out and spread the word about the drum corps activity. Knock on doors, e-mail, instant message, even yell if you have to -- but this is the summer for you to bring a friend to a DCI show. Bring a digital camera to the show and take a picture with your new drum corps convert at the show, and send it to dave@dci.org -- we'll post pics as they come in under the headline, "New convert." Great seats are still available at most DCI shows. Pick up the phone, make your pitch, and we'll see you on the 50.
