  1. I had a hard time deciding, but finally went for Cavies over BD. I just didn't like their '05 show, but, yowza, it was close.
  2. For several years Corpsreps ran an e-mail drop list. They said something about not having enough interest to do it anymore. Other than that, you just have to wait for snail or e-mail through the corps or whatch for the innumerable threads about who is going where.
  3. A better question would be who has NOT had those dreams! I have occaionally woken myself when I sat up "at attention."
  4. ^0^ Been thinkin bout this recently! We are doing Handel's Solomon this semester in choir. It is written for two choirs - left & right. Early stereo! It has some lines that would be wonderful for corps. Most of the time it uses either echo or round effects. It would be effective with the drill having the same echo or round effect if the corps was large enough.
  5. I just love this one of Taipei Yuehfu.
  6. Cordinating the implementation and deciding which shows to have it implemented are two different things. Always loved this tradition. Saw it first in '90. Keep the stories coming.
  7. Yellow, Blue, or Green? /OT I can understand the reasoning for banning, but think it is better to ban giving association with corps, if that. We all sometimes accidently go to far, but we need to learn to follow the "if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all" rule. (Which has been said in another form already.)
  8. Bàrd et Cosheeaght Bàrd - Scots - bard, poet et - French - and cosheeaght - Manx - walk, march, gait, promenade, procession (Closest I could find to what I was looking for) Imagine the fun on the bus after anouncers try this one!!! Seriously, though, I think you should either keep the current name or the new name should include either band or bard.
  9. Been there, done that. Well it was a "Echoing Drum & Bugle Choir" (for Echoes DC). In Expressions, it was the director's name that was always mangeled. Thibideaux is pronounced (all short i) Ti - bi - dough. The only place they got it right was somewhere in Canada, but then the Cajuns come from displaced Acadians. The one that hung arround a couple weeks was Tie-by-do-ex. Got a clean bus, have you?
  10. Bad instrument vs no instrument? Easy - send it. we have lots of kids who used school instruments before K b/c they couldn't afford the essitentials. This includs those, like flutes & clarinets, that are traditionally student owned. Many of those now without could never afford their own instruments. Some who owned them now have nothing so a new instrument is low on the list of what to spend money on. ALSO many salvigable instruments are without cases. I know of several which floated on top of the sludge. The case lineings & padding is unsalvigable, but the instrument could be cleaned & is useable. Imagine the damage that can occure from taking your trumpet on the bus with no case!
  11. When you find it, please post the info here. Thx.
  12. And I thought that was all the times running for the chow line.
  13. Well said. As I said shortly after the storm, we will survive and choose to thrive! It needs to be included that our participants came back to us from as far as Florida and California. I don't remember where Nicky's (melloclone's) friend came from, but that was another state.Edit: fix typo
  14. The MUD I was in during 94-95 was essentially a cross between the way the fantasy corps are now and plain ole chat rooms. CyberCorps "competed" with a combination of captions from live corps and member participation. Rehearsal (chat) was Thursday nights, with a static bbs system set up for communication the rest of the time. It was actually encouraged to "march" with something you would never really take on the field, hence my "playing" contra. Edit: We had blazingly bright yellow shirts someone made up so we could recognize each other at live shows.
