ECJGuard4L

The good news is instead of continuing the drama with another post, I had deleted the original post that everyone found so offensive, like people asked, as well as sent personal messages to a bunch of individuals apologizing to them. I also had asked those who quoted my post to delete so more people didn't come on, read it, and continue this. Apparently that wasn't enough. So I did in fact see Academy's show in person. (i saw someone express concern that I was making up what I said) I also let everyone that asked know, as well as put it in my profile thing, that I am aged out and technically no longer a member of ECJ and simply don't know how to change my name on here so I can completely dissociate myself from the drum corps. (not that I have a problem with ecj I just don't want people to think that what I say is an opinion reflective of the entire drum corps since I have the unfortunate tendency of being a little too blunt about my opinion). To the person asking about the I&E day incident, I'm not exactly sure if I was aware of the same one they were referring to, but it was simply an unfriendly confrontation between members of the two drum corps that I think had more to do with the people as individuals, and not the drum corps. I am not sorry that I didn't like Academy's show, and honestly I'm not particularly sorry that I expressed my dislike for their show since everyone seems perfectly ok with expressing their dislike for the show I was in. (a lot of that was again done through personal messaging) I am however sorry that everyone took such offense to what I said and I suppose I could have/should have taken the time to find a more polite way to say what I did. As far as the issue of respect is concerned, I, along with the rest of my drum corps, was very respectful to the members of academy in person, as well as online, having sent messages to many of them congratulating them on their championship. And with respect to my own drum corps, anyone that has ever marched with me knows that I would never do anything to hurt the name of ecj and I'm sorry that I couldn't make it more clear to everyone that just because my name has ecj in it, I didn't intend to hurt the corps name by making negative comments. So, since I have made clear that I am no longer a member of ECJ, as well as have apologized for the insane drama that post caused, is everyone ok? There's really no reason to get so heated about it. I am just one person with one opinion that in reality doesn't matter. The season is over, the champions are still the champions, and the silver medallists the silver medallists, and nothing anyone says about either corps here on dcp is going to change that anyway. Sorry for writing a book but I wanted to address everyone's concerns. Feel free to pm me, and James I'm sorry that you apparently felt the need to apologize for me on here if you had mentioned something to me personally I would done this a lot sooner. ONE MORE TIME I'm sorry to everyone about all of this and really do hope this helps. PLEASE pm me if you still have issue, it is really much less complicated than posting like this.

academy was freakin amazing

P.S. I forgot to add that we will also get the highest score in DCI history because our drum staff is so hot. kisses!

HEY! Wicked good I did that exact same ending pose! I hope they love it as much as I did.... ^OO^

True. East Coast will take guard...because (for those to whom it is not COMPLETELY OBVIOUS) I am in east coast's guard and man I am so talented. And ummmm....we have some super super hot guys in our hornline and so I think they will win brass....and there are even hotter guys in our drumline so they will DEFINATELY win. And our vis staff is cute too...so east coast HAS to win visual and GE. I am so excited. Its a good thing we are all so hot and talented. Good thing I cleared that up for all of you.

I think ECJ is going to win...I hear their colorguard is pretty incredible. Ok so seriously...I don't think east coast will win just because I love the colorguard. I just wanted to throw something colorguard related on here since my section is completely ignored when it comes to judging whether or not a corps will have a successful season. <**> and I reserve my opinion on who will win until finals week...then I'll comment. Merh

For the record...I never actually said chappy....and I forgot that my actual favorite moment of the season was when wendy knocked mark out of his hammock on the bus....

My favorite moment of 2005 was walking back to the bus after getting the silver medal at Thursday's finals and having the whole colorguard singing at the top of our lungs because no one cared whether we won or not. It reminded me of what I learned in 2004...that the only thing that matters is the feeling you get walking off the field after a great performance. (not gonna lie though...winning saturday was pretty amazing). I also loved riding the pony, nearly getting beaten up by a very scary girl in providence on our day off, and getting a hug from "someone" after div. 1 finals retreat... ( :beer: ) and Bobby...the guard girls miss you too. ;) p.s. man I can't wait for 2006.......
