Drum Corps at The Swamp

I thought this was nice

" The stadium that we were in was really big and we had to go through a tunnel to get on the field. The show was at the University of Louisiana, (home of the Ragin' Cajuns!) and the atheletic complex that we performed at was really nice." LINK

My brother played in the opening band and I must say, I was very surprised at how entertaining the show was. It is always great to see the best of the best showcase their talent.

The highlight of the show was definitely getting to see the new Cajun Field. The turf came out incredible. The colors are perfect, especially the Fleur de Lis and the Louisiana in the end zone.

Hearing the bands and not getting any football after was like going to a buffet and just getting a salad. What a tease! CAJUN FOOTBALL IS GETTING CLOSE.

HOWEVER, the restrooms were absolutely filthy. There is no excuse for it. When you invite guests to your house the first thing you clean is your bathroom. There were so many people there tonight that have never set foot in Cajun Field and maybe because of that they never will again. _

I totally and completely agree. That was the worst condition that I have ever seen the bathrooms at Cajun Field. Total shame that the first glimpse of the beautiful new field was marred by that. No excuse.

NOW JUST HOLD ON A GOSHDARNED MINUTE!!!

You mean to tell me the field is done, it looks great and band kids are using it as we speak (type)??

Uh oh, the "we totally suck" crowd is going to be really disappointed to read your message.



PS Did any of them get to use our crappy indoor practice facility as well?

Apparantly as long as they don't have to pee.

_ The restroom problem is very disappointing to hear. I'm glad the show went well though, I just wish I could've made it. _

I came into Lafayette to check out the DCI contest Wednesday. I hadn't been to one live since Birmingham almost 30 years ago. The groups were great. I'm geared toward listening to the drums and horns... the color guard theatrics seem to have gone to hyper mode.

Our field looked tremendous. I think people will be amazed at the difference it makes in the stadium. Don't worry... the corps didn't use our dirty bathrooms. I'll take it as a given that they will be in better shape come the football home opener.

Thats ironic.I was talking to my friend who is with the Carolina Crown. They have those grey hound buses with the bathrooms in the back. Evidently their, and possibly more of them, bathroom on the bus is locked and he tells me they have to use the restroom in bottles on the long 12 hour bus rides.

I think this belongs on the "PRESSURE washer" thread

Yep, definetly pressure in that situation

Same here, I couldn't really get into the whole theatrics, although the dancers were nice, some very nice. It is almost like a 10 minute mini broadway musical. A lot of work went into the performances, which I respect, however I liked the bands which were more drum and bugle corps centric.
