I meant in terms of how they approach GE and design. The concept of this show seems out there just like 15 minutes of fame so I'm just a little skeptical on how they'll approach it.

No corps reloads instructional staff like the Blue Devils. If you think they aren't planning for tomorrow, you're nuts.

You guys made the point I was going to. Karting is considered the premier training activity for most kinds of race driving, at least for smaller, more agile cars like formula racing. Top drivers continue karting to keep their skills fresh. As to being a waste of money for kids, there's a point there. As with music education, the probability of eventual professional success is quite low. I'm sure more people make a living in music, and the aggregate money they earn is probably far greater than with motor racing. In both the top people make millions, but there are far more top people in music clearly. And racing is far more expensive to progress in. since in many series you have to basically buy a faster car than your competitor. "Anyone can afford to go racing. All it costs is all you have." And you better dominate each series to get noticed. If this is what westcoastsoloist meant, he has a point. But karting doesn't have to get too expensive and does teach many good values and confidence, etc. All things in moderation.

Right you are!!! I missed the obvious unless it is spelled out. Apologies to the Oregon Crusaders. Is that the first time on the national scale that you have dwarfed BK and SCV??? Sign of summers to come??? I guess I am still burying some wild memories of my time here http://www.mcmenamins.com/KennedySchool from my last trip here in Portland, Oregon for a friend's wedding party. Great place, great times, great folks,OC.

I'd be ok with that, honestly - those are some of my favorite Cavaliers total programs. Mike

You do realize that most people outside our activity feel the same about what we do don't ya.

Sigh. This kind of elitist crap drives me nuts. Because it's not interesting to you, it's clearly not interesting to anyone else, amirite? Kart racing teaches and cultivates good driving skills, and finds and funnels talented drivers into bigger and better cars and racing circuits. It's no more "wasting time" than participating in marching band and drum corps is, and motor racing is only a bazillion times more popular than drum corps will ever be.

They were singing Happy Birthday because you won the show ... in other words, the win was a "gift" ... LOL ... :-)

Awesome! Can we expect a full show from them at Stanford?

I'm concerned about it being similar to 15 Minutes of Fame, not Xtraordinary. I like the capybara :)

I'm just happy someone else sees Spirit back in Finals! :-)

Some Snarky Puppy would be good too!

Well congrats on that. Just tell them who you marched with. How can they deny you a trip to finals.

Kudos to John Novi for assigning this to a corps not from the top 6 usual suspects. The whole activity has talent and great people to share. Well done, Surf.
