Probably not much different than the oil can quite honestly. Even though Lucas has a 70,000 seating capacity, it has a lot more end zone seating than Memorial Stadium in Bloomington. So, my guess is that there’s not much difference. The acoustics, however……

I’ve been reading the entire thread. I must have missed the person or persons who want to bring SCV down. Can you clarify?

Haha well played.

Since you’re talking about me, you would be very wrong. I ate up Jeff’s stuff about G7. I also ate up Richard’s info about SCV. So you couldn’t be more wrong. My point is simple - you want to get the message across and not detract from it by diverting focus to yourself. Stuff we learned in ninth grade English.

Now that you mention it, that gets a little annoying too. 😏 Guess I’m not a fan of people tooting their own horn excessively. Sorry

Nah. Your presentation needs work. Cut out most of the “I did this and I did that” stuff and it will come across so much better. Restate without the “I”. You unnecessarily shift the focus from where it should be (SCV) to yourself. You don’t want that, right? You can do it.

Nah. That’s not it at all. It’s in the presentation. One can make a point without saying “I” a nauseating number of times. You do it.

Summary of this post: I, I, I, I, I, I. Dude, work on keeping that ego in check. You don’t help your cause.

So you’re saying you had the answer to your question when you asked it? 😎

According to the Reddit postings, all is well. Full steam ahead.

Fanfare For The New? Yeah I know you’re talking about Greensleeves but (no offense intended to Argonne) it was - ahh Thats’s what it’s supposed to sound like. I prefer the ‘79 Guardsmen version to the one BD did in ‘87.

Well stated.

Is there a plausible explanation for this, or is someone stealing from Bingo again?

This is so funny in a not actually funny at all way. One - that the organization brought in this guy. Two - that he was so lacking in the basic fundamental understanding of what the Vanguard organization is about that he thought it a good business move to terminate the A corps. Beautiful.

And so have I. That’s why I made that comment. One can blame it on the supplier, or IT, or incompatibility of systems, or whatever else one wants to blame it on. But in the end it is your system, you decided to do the upgrade. You didn’t get intimately involved as you should have to work out the kinks. Take personal responsibility and fix it. That’s my point.

Have you come up with your answer yet? How many years is too many? What is the cutoff for reporting sexual assault?

Yeah, the old “accounting software update” excuse. I have a secret: it’s not the software’s fault. It’s the user who doesn’t understand how to use it

What number of years is too many? What is your number? State it. And as you ponder your number, recall that Christine Blakey Ford’s accusations against Brett Kavanaugh were from alleged events about 35 years earlier. Was that a sham? I don’t think it’s the number of years that’s really the issue for you. I think it’s the existential threat to the Cadets that is your issue. How dare they let some sexual assaults derail this organization.

The Stanford band a respected member of the college marching community today? Thanks for the belly laugh.

Can’t take it anymore after a grand total of two posts. This has to be some sort of record. As always, feel free to add your positive thoughts. Everyone will be happy to read them. Otherwise, griping is just griping. You don’t have to read this stuff. And Jeff Ream is eager to post positive things. There just doesn’t seem to be an over abundance of that regarding SCV right now. 🤷‍♀️

I loved that ‘92 show. Does anyone recall what they played for warmup? I think it was Far From The Home I Love.

Well, I’m sure the new, improved, Transparent Vanguard leadership will be updating the masses and clearing things up real soon. That’s what they said they’re going for, right?

Yes. Nobody knows what drum corps is. So this is pretty much a tempest in a teapot.

Welcome. The floor is yours. What would you like to say about the 2024 corps? Please steer the conversation in the direction you’d like. But you need to lead off with something.

Virtual. Still. Sooo many red flags. Almost everywhere you look in this organization.
