Okay, I ' ll be quiet now and let you listen to them I don ' t want to miss a thing either. Eileen Allemang 12 G 4 ot C mbarrai d un (chapeau, C ' etait mon anniversaire de naissance et j ' etais assis sur mon porche de devant en attendant le facteur. Ma tante Marie avait ecritqu ' ell m ' envoyait un paquet. En effet le facteur est arrive ' avec le paquet. Je l ' ai pris et je suis monte en courant a ma chambre pour l ' ouvrir. Je ne pouvais pas croire a mes yeux. Le paquet contenait un chapeau d ' ete, et je venais d ' acheter une nouvelle robe de soleil. Cet apres-midi je suis alle au cinema, en portant mon nouveau chapeau et ma robe neuve. Je me suis senti tres embarrasse parce que tout le monde semblait me regarder d ' une maniere particuliere. Quand je suis rentre a la maison ma mere m ' a regarde d ' une maniere singuliere aussi. Je me suis assis et j ' ai ecrit a ma tante Marie un billet de remerciements. Quelques jours plus tard, j ' ai recu une lettre de ma tante qui m ' a dit que ce qui avait semble etre un chapeau etait vraiment un sac-a-main d ' ete et que les deux ganses a l ' arriere etaient les manches du sac-a-main. Jf m jrruniin 9 Gott zeigt uns in dem Fruhling Die Blumen und die Baume Die Wunder seiner Kraft; Malt er mit Farber rar; Er lasst die Vogel singen Die Luft fullt er mit Tonen Und halt die Brise sanft. Melodisch, suss, und klar. Wie kann man Gott verleugnen? Wie kann man so blind sein? Im Fruhling, ja, im Fruhling Zeigt Gott den himmlisch? Schein. Carol Dinning 13G3

judge, and ' Field M M ' judge. Then there is one each of ' General Effect Brass ' , ' General Effect Drum ' and ' General Effect M M ' judges. As well, there are chief judges, timers, and tabulators. No, I don ' t think I want to know what each of them does, it ' s complicated enough now. I just have to know that all the judges are on the field except the ' G.E ' judges, that the corps loses one-tenth of a point for each mistake, and that the judges are very good at finding mistakes. They just walk along on the field, do they? What if they get in the way? Do the players move, or do the judges? The judges, eh? Yes, it must be fun, trying to ' run them down ' .... Well, I said I ' d go to one of these competitions with you, and here I am. I kept my word. Now, I sure hope that you meant it when you said that you would almost guarantee I ' d enjoy myself This is really exciting. All these people, just waiting to see these drum corps. They must be good. I get sort of mixed up whenever I try to remember everything you told me about the different instruments, and especially when Ithink of all the little things you can lose points for. Those judges must seem really miserable at times, eh? Hey, look! Over there! Is THAT a drum corps? It is? Dig those fancy uniforms! Why no, I didn ' t think they were anything like that. I thought they ' d look like Army uniforms, or some- thing along that line. I must remember just what they look like, so I can tell the kids. Let ' s see, now. White silk shirts, black pants, white shoes (I bet they ' re awfully hard to ?ep clean. After all, that field is sort of dirty). What do you call those hats? Shako? Is that whar rhey are? They look a little bit like those hats you see army officers wearing in the movies about the old west. These are really sharp looking, though. They ' re sort of a dark grey, but with a pearlized finish, black trim, and silver chain going around the hat, and under the chin. There ' s a big white plume on top of the hats or shakos. ...too. They, really look good. Well, even if I don ' t like marches very well, I guess it ' s worth it just to come and see these guys. They look about ready to begin. There, the drum major is walking out in front . .. he stopped . .. Oh, say, dig that fancy salute! He sure didn ' t learn that in the army. Now, he ' s turning around, his hands are up .... and .... away we go. Hey, are they ever powerful! You can hear them really clear, even though they are a long way away What the....! You know what that sounds like that they ' re playing? It is ? Around the World From the motion picture, Around the World in Eighty Days. And what ' s this Iseethe Brazilian flag, and that ' s. Brazil That ' s the name of it. Boy is that ever a swinging piece! Listen to that . ... They really sound Chinese, now. Chinatown . ... That ' s what it is. And Land of Hope and Glory ' America, listen to that! None of them sound like -marches. So Nice to Come Home Too Well. I
