    During the prelims broadcast, when the Renegades took the field and the announcer said the performance was dedicated to Rich, we raised our glasses in toast to Rich Skare. R.I.P. We STOMP them!

    Short version: As defending champions, we went on last. According to an actual audio tape of the judges discussion, they thought we were at least 10 points better than the 2nd place corps. They had already scored them a 95. Hence, the 105. Some say it was a mockery of the judging system. We take pride in that performance, and realize the score was kind of silly for the judges to give us. Believe me, we took plenty of ridicule over it! However,we laid down a show that night and, regardless of the score, deserved the victory.

    AHEM! It was 105.0 Remember, 105 in '95? As you were.

    DUH! Misread the first question.

    Not sure what you have, but I'll tell you what I have and see if it matches. My laptop has a VGA output. TV has HDMI input. Best Buy sells an adapter, VGA to HDMI, that you plug into your laptop. Then, plug the HDMI cable into it and connect to TV. Both parts cost around $50 total. Was well worth it! Hope this helps!

    Let me start by saying I am NOT going to argue the electronics issue. That ship has sailed. Nor am I banging on the kids. However, I found Teal's use of the electric bass, violin and EWI MORE than a bit distracting and somewhat overbearing. While some may find it innovative, creative, even "cutting edge", I did not. The corps has a wonderful horn line and some nice visuals. The front ensemble took me out of the show for a large segment. I appreciate everything the corps has gone through to make the field and applaud the membership for their hard work, dedication and perseverance. Best of luck this week!

    I am curious about this statement: 1) What were you expecting? AND 2) What could you possibly have to complain about??

    I'm an OTR truck driver. I can't even make the Thunderbird Alumni gigs in my hometown! Really missing it lately. Got my Kanstul Sop in the truck with me and break out a little "Elks Parade" every now and then!

    Other than a few of the younger members "hyping" their excitement about upcoming seasons, the Statesmen have notoriously been quiet on this forum. Never have I seen any numbers or braggadocio from the corps. I believe, though I have no inside knowledge, that it is Empire's policy to keep a low profile on DCP. We'll just have to wait until the first contest! Then, someone in the stands will do a quick count as they enter the field and all the numbers will be reported!

    Congratulations to the Class of 2011! A special shout out to my friends from the Johnsonburg corps! Welcome!

    I remember standing directly in front of him, along with most of the Empire Statesmen lead line, at the Preview of Champions Show in Scranton 1986. We were just in awe of the pure power with which "Bushman" played. I talked with the late Ted Heumann about him in the 90's. Teddy was the first one to tell me, "Oh, that was Bushman!" We had often wondered over the years where he went. I guess when he was done with corps, he went home to Missouri. Now he has gone home. R.I.P. Bushman
