I like. To be honest, last night I was thinking of the exact design, but instead of the shell being blue, it was white.

You are fired.

It's one thing to have great music and a challenging show to perform, but what about Blue Stars' uniform? Are they still sporting the two toned pants or are they going solid?

Didn't Bluecoats have a female snare dummer?

Awesome, Naperville is within driving distance!

This is a great article. Thanks.

That's really cool. They received my vote, and congrats!

Since tour fees are so high, I may just march one year.

Nice article, very nice. Wasn't there another article about band in the Chicago Tribune or Chicago Sun-Times?

Great, can't wait to hear and see it on the field!

I really don't know anyone who played division 1 sports and marched during the summer. Actually, I never heard of any collegiate athlete who competed with the best and had such an interest in music, or majored in music for that matter. It would be really cool though, to have a both perspectives and experiences. But if camps and practice don't coincide with one another it's possible. Must be extremely dedicated and passionate about both activities since D1 athletes live and breath their respective sport, not to mention adding school work to the equation.

Do you think the Blue Stars are in good, if not better, hands with Brad Furlano than with Chad Armbruster?

I absolutely wish that the Blue Stars change to solid colored pants, most likely dark blue with either blue or black shoes. Overall I I was indifferent to their new uniforms. Pioneer. Well, I dunno. Spruce it up a bit. Maybe throw in an Aussie hat.

The problem with my experience was that most if not all the kids involved were complete idiots. Of course there were fun times, but the people make the organization and unfortunately they sucked.

Well, my freshman experience in my college marching band did suck and I'm rather happy to be not part if it this season.
