It'd be a drag on them. So its a non starter. My.., have the times changed since that G7 thingy was floated out by GH as a proposal, huh ? Seems like a long time ago now.

There's a YouTube link, but not sure about copyright, et al. Edit: Comment on original post say Helen is "on loan".

msumello Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 I'm wondering how recruitment' going...I've watched them live at their performances in Bentonville every year since 2012 and every one around just said they wold love to be a part of that corps...that didn't happen this year. They still had the best show and the loudest applause, but it was slow coming....All the past years the crowd around me was on their feet even before that last note was released...but this year only a few of us rose like that. I took my two little cousins who just started hs marching band to see them and they asked me why I was so impressed with them. It made a bit sad that I had to break it down to them...had they seen them the years before I wouldn't have had to explain. The corps could consist of a large number of veteran returns,..they'll know how things are done and won't have to spend as much time on learning the basics and getting into the routine of things....which could make them even stronger in 2018. But if they had a lot of ages outs from 2017, they'll need to fill those spots with less experience kids...it could be harder to fill them..jugging by their reaction to Crowns show...

Only 44 ageouts this past year (lowest number in the top 5)! Huge number of vets returning from what I am told! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've had excellent performer talent since they won a few years back.'.. heck, even before then, their brass line was excellent. ' Looking forward to this season's show from Carolina Crown. I usually love their shows most years! Edited November 18, 2017 by BRASSO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
