April 5th, 2003 (Pictures by David Bretweiser - Special Thanks to Marc Sanders)

This was the final rehearsal for the 2003 TCGC season. We left UH at 10:30 a.m. and drove up to San Marcos, TX. On the way up there we watched the top six Corps from DCI '88, '90, & '91. GCS always travels in style.

Upon our arrival in San Marcos we ate at Wendy's and then headed over to the school to check in and rehearse.

Rehearsal was AWESOME, our best of the year. It was good to be outside again and looking and sounding like a real Drum Corps. And the weather was perfect. It was, "A Nice Day for Drum Corps."

Now we know why the Contras march back-field

Nikki, I think you have to PUSH to open that door
