Raiders, 3 ageouts.

It is not that it is bad. It's just that that was their lowest caption. To say that their percussion needs to be fixed means that they are the lowest scoring caption.

IIRC, their brass is what held them back. Brass performance came in 7th. Percussion was definitely there last year.

Bump.

Agreed. For a moment, I thought I saw Academy there...

I love the Wildwood parades.

That's the easter egg in the 07 dvd. Go to disc 3, check recap, and scroll over crown. You'll like it.

And DCI doesn't care about the smaller corps. Why won't DCI prevent great corps like Brand X from folding?

Drum majors Ryan Mallon and Tom Dowerty Pronounced: Dockerty

Oh Canada.....

Besides Crossmen, which corps do you know of are increasing their mellophone line?

Personally, I love gripped gloves, having used both fabric and grip. The fabric feels nice, but the grip makes you feel like you really have the horn in your hands. Plus grip is just used for all around use, including pushups on the field

The prices I've seen on this thread all just seem extravagant (sp?). I didn't know that most MBs had a price in the hundreds. My marching band has a measly $25 charge and some people don't even pay it.

I believe Phantom 06 was based off the book, Faust. You could explain whether the characters in the show accurately or inaccurately represent the characters in the book. 5-page essay....and begin!

Congratulations to Dave Caravella. He is an amazing tech at Raiders and I believe that everyone could benefit from him.

Doh!

OT, but I seem to recall seeing Crown's list of places that they were staying at. For the East Rutherford show, they stayed in Pompton Plains, only 5 minutes from Wayne, when we just moved in the day prior.

I doubt a Cadet would answer because it isn't the members who determine the location. Plus you could just wait and see. The schedule only came out yesterday. There are many TBAs, so let them be TBAs.

Hmm, the DVD came out. Definitely something to look into.

I'm actually excited to have a lot more mixed shows for the Raiders. Each and every mixed show we get to see Boston. The last one in Piscataway (where people can come and visit) has all the East Coast finalist corps In general, I like the increase in shows. On a more negative note, I feel for the NW. Personally, there's just something I love about Spokane. It's sad to see others not get the opportunity to see them or others have to go way out of their way to see them.

Honestly, I'm a bit offended. We are a Div II (now open class) corps. We don't really go to those World class shows.

Honestly, they came in 6th because 07 was a year of many great corps. The top 8 broke 90. Spots 5-7 were within .2 points after finals. If this was 06, they would've come in 4th, score-wise. So it's like I said before. There were just too many good corps.

Strawberry Soup, very good choice.
