Much prefer it to Gino’s sound which personnally I rarely enjoyed, 2013 and 2015 were exceptions Very few exceptions if any Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Dixon Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 2 minutes ago, chris ncsu said: I'm probably getting my terminology wrong. I thought Drew was the "caption head", but he's the "arranger/caption supervisor". Who was the previous caption head? he is now - until mid winter it was they guy (also not named) who was hired as a tech in 2017 that had been accused of filming a classroom where students changed clothes - he "departed" early this year and instead of bringing in a caption head - it was added to Drew's duties. They need to reinforce EITHER the design team or instructional team or both - but first lets see how the chips fall this season, still quite a bit of time left to adjust and tweak the improved 2018 Cadets brass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xandandl Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I hope this isn't lost in the mix of all the rear-view mirroring. Thank you to our generous friends at BOHBC. Now that the Cadets are in Vol country, the corps started their day with some Rocky Top… And in true Volunteer fashion, Black Oak Heights Baptist Church donated food for lunch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, he was pretty #### good at being a lightning rod. See: everyone who blames him and him alone for the changes that the majority of corps voted to approve over the past twenty years. Also good at being a generally terrible person. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I'll take the 'Mad Tea Party' and ballad of our show over any drum corps show ever" GH, finals week 2006 Of course none of that really matters when we learned 12 years later that he had sexually assaulted our assistant director that year and one of our hornline members who aged out and worked at YEA the next. Anyway it's great that they have a show they can dig into and enjoy performing this year. Edited July 13, 2018 by FTNK 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying it was great, but it more resembles today's shows than back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
