Drum Corps Lunch  

Well, the season is over and the champion is crowned and Indy-Bloomington rests after a fun-filled, sun-filled week.

And a busy author rests, too -- if only temporarily.

I've had to shuffle the schdule a bit this week to accomodate exhaustion in everybody's schedules. But not to fear -- Drum Corps Lunch will be dishing up talk about marching music throughout the fall and winter months heading into what is sure to be an amazing 2009 follow-up to a highly competitive season.

Stay tuned here for the next line up of shows, which will tentatively include discussion on auditions, how corps members should get themselves in shape physically for next season, a continued look at drum corps and the media, a peek at the diehard fans that color the activity, and much much more.

Thanks for listening!

Award-winning journalist Colt Foutz, author of Building the Green Machine, chats again with Steve Vickers, publisher of Drum Corps World, in an expanded, 45-minute format of the show specially geared for audience call-in questions. Colt and Steve talk about how drum corps and DCI is being covered today, and in what ways the word could get out to an even bigger audience, as well as the 2008 DCI season as it enters its final week.
