Maybe the simple questions that should be asked are:
What is the objective of the activity?
What is the fundamental mission?
How can the over-arching business model be aligned with the answers to the above questions?

I saw in a Facebook post by the Scouts that they have already added one Teal Sound member. The above memtioned need for a lead is separate from that. It would be nice if Teal had a kid that meets the technical requirements.

Does anyone know why the Scouts percussion score took such a hit?

Wow - what were drum corps shows like way back in the year 1012?? :)
Typo, can't figure out how to edit the title. If a Mod can edit the title to the correct date, please do so to help us not to get too far off topic.
Thanks

Bump to keep on the first page.

All will be much more clear after Saturday.

I think all of us have heard various stories over the years about corps helping each other out in times of distress. From lending busses and corps trucks, to providing meals, to lending equipment, to sharing housing sites, etc. Even though corps “compete” against each other, this activity really is a large extended family. When something as catastrophic (for the kids involved) as this happens, seeing the response from the extended “family” is really heartwarming.
Yes, there will be a lot of finger pointing down the road, but seeing other crops reach out to these kids and staff agreeing to do re-write drills to accommodate more kids is wonderful. These are the kind of lessons that all of the young people in the activity are really learning about what’s important in our world today. Well done all!

Bluecoats website says:

Black Hawk Middle School
1540 Deerwood Dr.

They have stayed here the past two years for this show
These two schools are a LONG way from each other.

Who remembers the phrase "zero-ed out"?

It'll make for a fun night, either way!
(But heres hoping it's the opposite of what you said ;) )
Or the other way around.

How many overagers did Muchachos have? A couple? a lot?
I have seen various discussions on this over the years with some links to other discussions on other web sites. I think there is one on the 1976 Muchachos in the History Forum with some good links to stuff about the 1975 situation. One of the things I have seen mentioned in a few places is that there were 22 birth certificates that were considered to be suspect.
If that is true, then you are talking about marching 22 holes, or 22 rookies (assuming that the corps leadership would have heeded the multiple warnings about marching over-age members). I think that would make the 1975 Muchachos a completely different animal.
Edit: Actually, the 1976 Muchachos thread is a little below this one as of now.

I've have also hear the comment on not being able to use leggings (not spats) with the new (this year) uniform bottoms as the lower leg is quite tapered. If you see a picture of this year’s uniform, you can easily see that the pant bottom is very tapered indeed.

I got change, and I'm not upset. So, I'm either not "you", or not "they", or both.

Here's to Spirit opening the gap on Cavaliers, and closing the gap on Madison.
Here's to the opposite of that happening.

In the case of Madison, having Lee Beddis as caption head certainly seems to have improved the talent level of the percussion section. Overall, the corps has been improving in all areas over the last three seasons under Chris Komnick.

*Sorry meant 7th/8th...but in reality I'm referring to Madison and Crossmen doing so well.
Why is that a surprise?

So obviously...we've had a crazy year so far with the scores...corps who weren't even in finals are placing 6th!
So the question....is the new judging format really having that much havoc on the activity in its first year of implementation...or are these corps really just 'that' good this year?
**Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with the upset, I welcome it!
Which corps that hasn't been in finals has placed 6th?

No you have Jurassic mosquitos too.
Sadly, this is true.

Most of the rest of the country thinks all we have is winter. Surprise, surprise.

On a related note, I have often wondered why the Madison Scouts don't draw more from the UW band. Yes, the styles couldn't be more different, but the goals are quite similar (excellence and entertainment). In a typical year there might be one kid from the UW band who also joins the Scouts (last season one of the bass drummers in the UW band was in Scouts), but that's it. Last year, or maybe 2 years ago, the UW band played excerpts from Slaughter, and Mike asked if anyone had ever heard the music before. Only a couple kids raised their hands, mine included of course, as I've been hauling them to drum corps shows since they were born.

I'm not sure either. It was the case in my day that the majority of the UW band members were not music majors. I've heard that that is still the case. I wonder if some try out and don't make it, or if having the winter camps in Texas part of the cause. When I marched,two of us snare drummers were also Scouts. I hope that more will find an opportunity to do both. If you live in Madison, those are THE two music groups to be a part of.

Or, given the Teal situation, timely.
