Still have a scar under my chin from a baritone bell lol..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean let's face it, it takes a little time and effort to join the ranks of the fallen! I agree!! The dissolving block works on so many levels.....and that is what the sheets are all about right 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before the end of spring training he had a corner of his front tooth chipped off when a flag contacted his horn unexpectedly, but they took him to a local dentist and he got that repaired already. He's still loving the fact that he's playing lead (lower) at his age, and looking forward to another 4 years of marching if circumstances allow. And I got whacked by a flag on my soprano by a 27th guard member. Color guards are dangerous! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my mind I have written and re-written the Cadets doing Mass ever since I first discovered the piece (thanks to the Cadets) in 1990. All you have to do is search my posts on here to see my incessant request that they do it. And now that they finally (and mostly for the last time) are doing it, I feel really invested in this show in a way that I have not in years. So they had better get it right! So far so good though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Music/drill chaotic/uniform change... you have very definitive elements in place already illustrating the section and there is a guard member chasing and molesting a baritone player (I think male on male which is really decadent and slightly arousing but surely I digress) ) but yes we can work on it more.

Well YOU must have been in the wrong place because those 27 guards were always hitting their marks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are very negative and hurtful. It seems most here on DCP like the show design, but I was honestly pretty shocked to see the venom on the YouTube comments. Sad.... Some people love to hate the Cadets. saw then, the one guy is a Boston alumni and he other one has a bunch of Crown videos on his profile i find it abhorrent that adults would go on YouTube and write comments like that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcikon2 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Those types of comments give a very negative view of drum corps to people outside the activity. I haven't seen the comments, but I have seen some hurtful comments on a couple of other corps. I don't understand why people have to be so mean spirited.
