August 17, 2012 Drum Corps World Newsletter Released

Leave a comment

The latest newslsetter from Drum Corps World is out and available for your reading pleasure. This newsletter is practically a full edition of the magazine in its own right, numbering almost 60 pages containing coverage of the DCI Champonships week events and the competitions leading up to it, as well as the DCA event which also recently took place.

Two of those DCI events, the Dublin, Ohio, Emerald City Music Games and the DCI Prelims cinecast, were reviewed by me and are in this newsletter. There was a third event, the Massillon, Ohio, Pro Football Hall of Fame competition, which I was not able to write in time for this release. I will post it either here or on Drum Corps Planet in the near future.

You can read the newsletter here.

As a bonus, enjoy the pictures I took from the Dublin show.

I’ll be doing a lot of covering during the next week, so here’s where you’ll find me.
