Yup. I have been an advocate of regionalizing drum corps for many years

I feel bad for members who wont have the chance to march this year, but life isn't a guaranteed bowl of cherries. It isn't all balloons, puppies and rainbows. Things happen that are out of everyone's control and decisions are made for the greater good of society. Just imagine how the young Men who had to postpone their lives to go to fight in WW1, WW2, Vietnam, etc. Perspective is needed here. Sure, everyone wishes that the Chinese government would have acknowledged Covid 19 earlier and contained it, but they didn't for reasons that I cant mention due to board rules. This too shall pass and we will be fine.

One of those is correct. He is notorious for liking youth.

He is just one spoke in a big wheel of Hollywood sex abuse. SS should be next.

Well said CIX. The most disgusting thing that I have heard was the Twitter mob wishing that all of the CPAC attendees get the Corona virus. Just sickening.

There was more to the $$ issues which I will not mention here. Others here know exactly what happened.

Once again spot on Wilder.

Apparently you know something that "they" and everyone else doesnt know.

Wilder, your assessment of this current Madison regime is 100% spot on. This situation is sickening and sad.

Yup.

Yup, blah blah blah. Every year its the same old thing "Oh my God I just saw the Scouts at camp and they are going to be great this year horns and drums look at sound great and the guard is awesome!"

I don't know the answer. There are crimes that are so horrific that I dont believe a second chance is deserved.. Dahmer, Gacy, etc...

So do people deserve redemption and a second chance or not?

I was never a fan of Greensleeves, you nailed it with too "funeral dirgy", but the tag signature to close the 1979 show was outstanding, a reprise of "Henry V".

I loved the 1978 Guardsmen show, great great music, and obviously great CG.

Ok...so were not talking about favorite corps songs. But rather our favorite songs that corps did. Speaking of the Guardsmen, the 1979 show is musical gold, just awesome, and a brass line that I believe beat every line that year or close to it...and that color guard was GREAT.

In 1976, the Schaumburg Illinois Guardsman did a commercial for Kentucky Fried Chicken, and on the recording right before the opening hit someone in the crowd yells "chicken sucks".

Nope. Just changed his approach to the gravely hard to understand announcer that he is now.

He's awful.

Someone should ask if Brandt Crocker is ready...to retire. He ruined himself 20 years ago. Awful.

The Madison Scouts corps song was and is "May You Never Walk Alone"...not "Mcarther Park" or "Rhapsody in Blue".

Not sure how you arrive at that conclusion.

So Yea is divorcing The Cadets?

What the heck is gross about Hooters and the Miss America pageant? You better stay away from the beach and swimming pools. Ewww!!! Scantily clad Girls who are doing it by choice!

This is great to hear and I hope your Son has a great experience this year.
