The Boston Crusaders also have camps in Florida BTW. ---KMB---

Why would this imply it not to be a good place to spend two years? Personally, I do not like Magic as I have a personal bias against them. I don't wish to get into my reason right now on this board, but having said that I don't think that just because a corps hasn't made finals is a waste of a person’s time! ---KMB---

1975 madison Scouts comes to mind... ---KMB---

I was in the center section that they so rudely evacuated...on the 50-yard line lower, eighth row...and I refused to get out of my seat during the performance. I was ready for a fight and really thought that was in poor taste by the security and felt bad for BK. ---KMB---

<sarcasm on> ...so junior corps’ has some great Bb horns that will make a wonderful edition to the woodwinds...Hasn’t that been their goal all along? <sarcasm/off> ---KMB---

1. Phantom 2. Boston 3. Madison 4. SW 5. Capital Regiment ---KMB---

It does not bother me as much with an honest mistake as that could happen to just about anyone. It was the more deliberate actions of some that set me off. Oh...and thanks for listening. I feel even better now :) ---KMB---

ATTENTION DCI: I really do not appreciate people sitting in seats that they have NOT paid for to sit in. I know this isn’t the theater, but you did not police this at all! This happened in both semi-finals and finals. I was on the 50-yard line eighth row back and a few people showed up late and....(drumroll)....someone else was sitting in their seats. They did get up but then had the audacity that they would just move and sit next to me. I have to admit I was a little fired up and said with a very angered and loud tone "Did you pay for these seats? Well, then you don't belong sitting in them!" The woman just looked at me and mumbled that it was OK just because everyone else is just doing the same thing. Well she and her husband were not going to do it next to me... DCI this makes me angry!!! I was a little more lenient finals night when division II/III corps staff was sitting next to me, but not sure to myself how I felt about that either. I did not say anything to them. When I marched and was let into the show, I never sat in spectator seats. I usually watched the show from the concourse area. Just my little rant…now I feel better. ---KMB---

...and it's been 36 years since BAC beat Vanguard in any show... ---KMB---

The first year that I EVER took a bathroom break during the devil's show... ---KMB---

I will start my first posting saying that my opinion may be skewed a little based upon my love of the Saders’ organization. That said, I would have to say that it was not Boston who dropped the ball, but SCV who elevated their performance and electrified the stadium that night. I was there on the 50-yard line eighth row back and SCV’s field performance was much better than its previous nights as it was very much more energetic. I am not going to get involved arguing the semantics of scoring, and I have always felt that a performance should be "called as you see it". Do I think Boston was screwed? Well perhaps, but I think that's what makes competition healthy among the corps and interesting for us as spectators. ---KMB---
