I'm in college and I played it in college....

yes, it isn't hard...

acting like a jackass is still, acting like a jackass... different actions can have the same affect.

I completely agree, I just think that the blame shouldn't be isolated to one group when it spread across several.

The percussion staff is exactly the same, just a different writer... They needed a new drill writer because that was the weakest aspect. Plus, not to pick on Drew but brass is more his gig, nothing wrong with that, he is just better in that aspect. Also, Rick really didn't do that awesome of a job. He is good, he just may not of fit the bluecoats style, possibly. I also highly doubt that the bluecoats were the only corps to have "possibly" drank before retreat...

Where did you hear that?

Most of you all are forgetting that the brass approach rarely matters at all... It's all about how uniform that given technique and style is from person to person in that given horn-line. Do I agree with Phantom's brass methods, no. Do I agree with Blue Devils' brass methods, no. But they both do their respective method very uniformly, which is the purpose of drum corps. THe purpose is not who can create the best opinionated ideal sound. If everyone sounded the same, drum corps would be boring and there wouldn't be any diversity.

Fairbanks Named New Program Coordinator (Canton, Ohio) - 9/2/2008 The Bluecoats are pleased to announce that Tim Fairbanks has been named Program Coordinator for the 2009 season.

What year is that Cadets picture from?

can we get back on topic...

The drum book is really cool... I'm not sure about the horn book yet, I'll wait till the summer to form a better opinion.

To each his own. I don't understand why people need to continuously question Hrothgar's thinking. Leave it be, thats his thing. It certainly wont stop me from enjoying a show. Honestly I agree with him, I'm not for narration, I usually hate it! However, if it is done right, then I will like it. Yes there will be skeptisism there before I hear it, but once I have heard it I form a second opinion. Hrothgar may do that, he may not.... doesn't affect my opinion one bit.

SCV 89

I'll have to go with 91 Star HM: 99 BD, 96 Phantom, 82 BD, 84 Cadets, 75 Madison, 76 BD, 95 Cavaliers, 89 SCV

Actually SCV has the most 2nd place finishes, followed by Blue Devils and the Cadets, then Phantom

2006 Madison, that was unreal. I am so glad I walked that 2-3 miles back to the stadium to see that. Didn't The Bridgemen Alumni perform at one of the Allentown shows?

Hard to decide, but I think I'll go with 06 BD, that show was pure entertainment and nothing short of that. HM: 92 Cadets, 04 BD, 89 Phantom, 07 Cadets

How could you do a show about boxing and NOT use atleast something from Rocky??

thoughts..

04 SCV HM: 06 BD and 90 Star

1995 Madison HM: 2003 Phantom, 1980 Spirit(should of won) every one of these shows simply blows me away
