Just read the scores!

That would be pretty cool.

Spewing liberal rhetoric on Facebook :)

1) Blue Devils, Ink: octopus 2) The Cadets,The Power of 10: breast milk (until 10 months) 3) Carolina Crown, Inferno: deviled eggs 4) Bluecoats Kinetic Noise: Pop Rocks (kinetic feeling on your tongue) 5) Santa Clara Vanguard, The Spark of Invention: Wintergreen Lifesavers (bite one in the dark and you will see why) 6) Blue Knights, Because: spam (just because) 7) Phantom Regiment, City of Light: croissants 8) The Cavaliers, Game On: cornish game hen 9) Madison Scouts, 78th and Madison: NY hot dogs 10) Boston Crusaders, Conquest: maize (staple food in Central America after the Spanish conquest of the area) 11) Blue Stars, Side Show: french fries (side order) 12) Crossmen, Above and Beyond: pheasant (food the flies)

So, what's that updated step-off times? Blue Stars still at 9:16 or should I put in a movie while I wait?

You must be one of the people i was talking to, I was just a couple of rows in front of you, same seat number...discussed grunting to conquest?

I'm not saying she should not comply with the rules, but there are many ways to state the same message. Some ways are respectful and others are not. Generally speaking, the ones that are stated more respectfully tend to get more consideration while the disrespectful ones' validity tends to be dismissed rather quickly. in either case, typically the messages, whether respectful or not, tend to be responded to in the same manner.

I think it depends how it is said. One can state an objection intelligently without going into cut downs, name calling and negativity.

At least the trampolines were to the outside of the field, it made it easier for me to ignore.

This much is true, I did notice that.

He didn't write it for an orchestra moving around a football field. The orchestra sits still.

I was their live, nobody understood the frisbees.

That doesn't sound very general, now does it.

Did Phantom score lower because their synth went out?

The 27th Lancers had an instructor named Art Fabrizio who was from that area. Is he related to that family?

Absolutely agree. How is it that a corps that gets so little reaction wins General Effect?

This show is typically scheduled the night before Minnesota.

I noticed her right away. I didn't know she was a judge at first. It reminded me of the Troopers instructor in Ypsilanti many years ago who ended up running onto the field to reset flags that were not in the right spots.

I agree. Do you think that they feel because they won last year they have to do things like this to try and outdo last year's show?

What is the point of the frisbees? I don't like them. I don't like the trampolines either but a guess jet packs are too expensive!

The narration interrupts the music. I can't stand a speaker telling a story with a 149 person backup. Huge distraction from what is going on with the field show.

But they put the bugle call after the grunt area. I wanted to grunt! \

We went to our car when it first started raining (for that round, there had been two other weather delays earlier). Wind and rain was ridiculous. As some people came to their cars we would roll down the window and ask if had been cancelled. At one point someone told us that all the kids were being told to get off their busses because it was too dangerous. On a side note, when it was cancelled, we drove back to our hotel. About five minutes away we were at a red light when it started hailing and the wind was really whipping from directly behind the car. I looked at my friend in the passenger seat and said, "I don't know if you believe in God but this might be a good time to start praying." The light turned green, we went ahead about 50 feet and the wind was then coming directly from the side of the car. Circular motion? Were we in a tornado? We asked the hotel if there were any tornado warnings but they said that they had not heard of any so, to this day, I don't know.
