Cavies are in TN tonight.

Things must aways be as things have always been!

Go Scouts! MYNWA!

Bump for clarity

NOTE!!! This is last year's Mankato thread.

I remember the first time I took the field in that stadium and thought to myself, “My God, the stands go straight up!”

If you have not seen a show in this stadium, you really should. It is a fantastic setting for drum corps. Both as a performer and spectator.

It's not bad for "fly-over country".

Oh, and - Go GOVIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Featuring in order of appearance Govenaires – St. Peter, MN Minnesota Brass – St. Paul, MN Pioneer – Milwaukee, WI Troopers – Casper, WY Blue Stars – La Crosse, WI Madison Scouts – Madison, WI Spirit of Atlanta – Atlanta, GA Bluecoats – Canton, OH Should be a beautiful evening, clear and upper 70’s at showtime. Unfortunately I will not be able to make this show.

Awesome reference!

"Is it really worth it?" For some yes, for some no.

For symphony, go to a symphony hall. For drum corps got to a football field. For symphony, spend 45 minutes to hear one work. For drum corps, spend about 10 minutes for a corps presentation. For symphony dress up and shut up, for drum corps dress down and scream your lungs out. The real question is, why do some people offer criticism of drum corps style of arranging for a 10 minute show on a football field, and compare that to the symphony/orchestra/jazz ensemble/wind band etc, when the already know the answer to the question theyre asking? As a way to bag on a corps show without looking like theyre bagging on them? Since all shows are a bastardized, drum corps version of some piece of music (except for the occasional original piece written for a corps), just stay home as save yourself the trouble of being offended.

After seeing this thread, I did an E-Bay seach for my corps and found this. Madison Scouts Jacket

If you're too old, what does that make me?

All Kenton Show! Who's with me!!!!!!!

Oliver Nelson played jazz flute (and quite well I might add).

You have the ability to review any Corps financials if you want to. As non-profits, the year-end financial statements are public documents. If you want to know where the money goes, this is a good place to start. Examining the financials will also give you better insight into how the business works as a whole, and will help you to devise a for profit model.

Can you imagine the crowd response to a touch of Channel One?

I think there are 10 pieces named for pictures, as well as the promenades and an interlude.

That should liven things up around here!

Oh, I've read every word, but things can change hourly in the era of the internets. I (along with the legions of Madison Fans) will just have to wait.

Does anyone know if there are any videos up yet of this year's music? I would love to hear Madison's take on this book.
