Thanks! You never know though; you weren't too far behind at that last show. You could still end up taking home the gold!

CHAMPIONSHIPS TIME
Hurricane, out

Hurricane Drum and Bugle Corps will not have any more press releases until DLOFDC World Championships have come to a conclusion. The corps (which obviously includes the corps director) is in Madison, WI camping out as of today. Regardless of the corps' placement, Hurricane and the director have had an amazing season, and would like to wish everyone else good luck.

"Thank you so much for everyone's support in our first season," said director Kristina, tears shining in her eyes. "We've had a great time, and I think we've all learned skills in many areas, and there's nobody that can take such things away from the staff or kids. Good luck to all the other corps!"

Good luck Hurricane!! :P
Finals week is gonna be NUTS ^_^
I say Chucky Cheeze, Hurricane, and Motor City Cadets have a tri-corps party in some huge place.

HURRICANE TAKES FOURTH AT WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS
Despite an "off" show at finals, season still deemed a success

Hurricane is proud of its fourth place finish at the 2006 DLOFDC World Championships.

"I couldn't be prouder of these kids," remarked corps director Kristina happily. "Nobody here has any regrets. We unanimously would relive every moment of the season again, exactly how it happened. Everyone gained so much. And there's really nothing else to say, except congratulations to the medaling corps!"

The Hurricane 2006 Statistics Department was less enthusiastic about the results.

"I'm actually pretty disappointed," sighed the head statistician. "I did so much work on this. I spent hours putting together strong combinations of captions, and in the end, the corps that we picked didn't do as well as usual in the captions we picked them for. That was a disappointment. We would have owned with that combination at most any other point in the season. So finals was kind of an 'off' show for us. But overall, I guess it could have been worse."

So, the tale of Hurricane Drum and Bugle Corps 2006 comes to a happy conclusion. From here, the corps director will take a week off to recover from the season and pack her bags, then retreat to her new dorm to begin developing next year's show idea.

**Special thanks to the corps director of The Happy Campers for the awesome "Hurricane Drum and Bugle Corps" drum head decoration for my dorm, and the 2006 Hurricane almanac. That was an incredibly cool/thoughtful/creative grad present, and the former item is totally going in my dorm! Thanks again, and I'm sure we'll talk soon as usual. **
