Fielding the NEW Swamp

[HelmutVII]

It's too bad they can't have the dci at a cooler time of the year. those poor kids must suffer in that heat not to mention sitting on cement stands. it's really miserably hot.. jmo..

Since most of the members are in college, the DCI season is in the summer and finishes before most college sessions start. But as you know, college kids are indestructible and they are having the time of their lives.

_ DCI has an age limit of 21. There are "senior" corps for people older that want to do it still but have aged out of the main DCI circuit. That said, Carolina Crown is a really good group. The show on 7/16 is going to be a solid program with four of the "upper-tier" corps in DCI, and will be a fitting way to christen the turf. Hopefully we get a good crowd! _

yeah i wasnt sure the age limit but i knew it was really young for him to make it, he just turned 18, yeah their should be a good crowd, North Vermilion will have a lot going

You don't know the half of it!! Those kids started practicing back in February or March and start touring this week. They'll play anywhere from 3 to 5 shows per week and when they aren't playing, traveling, or sleeping (in sleeping bags, usually on a gym floor!), they're rehearsing for hours at a time in the aforementioned HEAT!!!

The field is awesome and will really dress up Cajun Field. Not to put a damper on this, but look at the upper endzone areas that will remain grass. They look horrible and always have. I don't know why we didn't put some kind of artificial turf over those areas to dress that up as well, because we have shown no evidence of our ability to adequately maintain them and it will certainly detract from the beauty of the new field turf.

Nothing wrong with the end field grass. Now that we want have to take care of the playing field they can put extra time on the grass. Mowing and care will take care of that.

Just got back from the field. Took a few shot's, but not to much difference from the last shot's. I will post the next slide show when they are finish with the turf and putting up the goal post, logo's, numbers and hash marks. The shot's will be from today until that point.

Why isn't the camera working....

well its glitching in and out but looks like they repositioned it again to the south endzone
