If there's one director in the world that I would have hiring people for me it would be Greg and the rest of his admin staff. I'll agree with everyone else that keeping Chris and Ray was a smart move and releasing Mr. Hunt and Jude was best. It seems to me that Jude and Jeremy is/are a package deal anymore, however it was time for a new direction in my opinion not only as a member learning from both of them, but as a colleague and spectator of their work after my age out year. It appeared that the quality of the visual design began to fade, as did the show design. And yes I'll agree with a previous post that there were some cases with Jeremy where things may have gotten a little suspect as far as respect for the members was concerned, but no one was ever put in harms way. Kudo's to Greg and his staff for doing what they feel had a to be done in the best interest of the members and I look forward to seeing them this summer. GET SOME RED TEAM!!!

I thought it would drop a bit when they went WC. My last years fees in 2008 only totaled 1400. Good luck to all. I'll see you at some point on the road this year.

Alright Chris...Good for you bro!!

At least I'm not the only one here who thinks bad judgements can be made...I saw them happen A LOT with one of the corps I taught this past summer....I sincerely wish nothing but the best for the boys from Madison(and always have since they got me to love drum corps with their 99 show)...I hope I was wrong with my assumption because I know Scott will do nothing but his very best everyday he steps on the field with those kids. Best of luck to Madison this year and I can't wait to see their show this summer as I'm sure I'll run into them at some point on tour in 2010.

Post has been removed...I apologize sincerely to the Colts organization for the poor representation. The issue should have been resolved on a non public forum. I wish the Scouts nothing but the best of luck this year as I will see them on the road at some point I'm sure.

I worked with Jarred at Teal this last year...Fantastic teacher,musician,and human being. I wish them the best of luck this year.

I'll stand next to John on this one. Great food all summer long!!! And all healthy too!!!(coming from an Exercise Science major)

Please.... Enlighten us!!!

This makes me proud to be an alum right now...And it's not the first time since I've been involved in the organization that they've stepped up to help another corps...Thanks for being classy guys and best of luck to the Gmen!!!

This kinda study is exactly why I wrote the pre/off season workout book that a few corps use, including the ones I currently work for. I just don't have my doctorate and publish a lot of studies. Glad someone from the ACSM finally did!!!

We'll just see. The corps not set yet.

Before I post, to not offend anyone, I must mention that I'm generally a fan of Phantom and have many friends who march there. So I mean no disrespect by posting this. I just think the songs funny(as do some of the members I know). (To the tune of the 1812 overture) I march at Phantom cause I like 4th place (not true anymore) I march at Phantom cause I can't play jazz I march at Phantom cause I hate free days I march at Phantom cause I'm *$*@%@! Adam Sage (not true anymore) What color should I wear? White, Black or Tan? I march at Phantom cause I like straight lines I march at Phantom cause I like 8 to 5's I march at Phantom cause I have no self esteem (not true) I march at Phantom cause I have the color green

Which would be true if they were marching 72 this year. But they're not.

That was me who proposed in the video. I was scared to death. It was heavy pressure not only because of my corps(Colts)were there, but so were the Colt Cadets. This was the greatest moment of my life though. Certainly something I'll never forget.....I love you Bri(my fiancee).
