  1. Must be a Wally-World nearby where you can park the trailer and take the truck to the stadium.
  2. Gave up. Too many breaks in the transmission, plus Applebee's, Liquid Plummer, Ihop, etc. commercials during the performance. Hope others had better luck
  3. As a retired CO (correction officer) who walked a tougher beat than most PO's, most folks consider PO's, deputies, CO's/guards, troopers, all members of the LEO family.
  4. Might have worn out his welcome with another corps.
  5. Wonder if Tarpoon Springs kids still follow him to each corps he's involved with.
  6. Since I've only taken in two finals and a few shows in MA, I've relied on the FN to see all types of moves since 74. For that I thank Mr. Blair and his crew from the director(s), the camera crew, and the editing folks. So my "move" is the camera shot of the pass through from BAC 2012 pre-show about 50 seconds in. Not too many members, but just so simple and nice.
  7. And out of jail. But, then again, most of the LEO's were from the same neighborhoods and had similar incidents growing up.
  8. Besides all the fisticuffs, some of the less intense moments while with the Crusaders were: -a rookie, in his birthday suit, laying in the back window of the bus. -horns and drum line switching instruments during inspections. -first Sunday horn line practice after finishing last in our first contest in NJ, we marked time until the bucket in the middle of the circle was filled with our sweat. That took awhile. -saying all kinds of crap to the corps in front of us as they were getting ready on the starting line. -during retreat the instructors usually walked amongst the corps telling us how we did. If the drum line felt they were screwed, some snare sticks would be tossed at the feet of the drum judges(s) as we marched by. If it was the horn line, several pairs of white gloves flew from the middle of the horn line. -years later, the corps would respond with a one word reply when the alumni/fans in the stands yelled out "we don't give a .....!" Not crazy, but very meaningful to the corps. In 64 the corps began to have some success with the new members from other corps. We went to WI for a couple of contests in early July. During retreat, the corps would never move at parade rest, no matter how we placed. Keeping quiet might have been a different story. We were the new kids on the block and were up against several of the mid-west heavies. As they announced the scores we were frozen in place. When the Cavies were announced second we still didn't move, but several members of the corps to our right (Royal Airs?) looked at us as if to say you just beat the VFW National Champions and you can't do anything?
  9. A first place trophy and ring trumps quiet applause every time.
  10. Locate a Bose outlet, save some more, find out when they're having a sale, and buy a Lifestyle V35. We love ours.
  11. But, you did mention Buddy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWxPKSfy2qU
  12. And possibly the majority of their members did not come from the region.
  13. Sorry Brasso, there are no more oscars left!
  14. That same sentmient might be said about other topics.
  15. Wonder if Pioneer posted it after reading above post #583.
  16. That's because they were all trained by Cesar Millan.
  17. Hope I have the right DM with the right corps, but I believe Bill Hooton was the RR DM and used to move so the judges would have to move away from the section they were judging.
