You will find these in a normal Drum Corps Videos set, however, Drum Corps Videos since the marching band, well, marches; they have to be clashed together and come in pairs. I would love to have people come visit and say hi, but due to COVID-19 we can’t really have visitors even come and watch.

Sad in many ways that in England we are not even 10% as patriotic as Americans. There are TWO ways to pay this year! They make me think we just might make it through the year.
