I just wonder if the G7 directors have run this whole idea past their staff. "OK, we have to do the 'meet and greet' at the show today so we have to stop rehearsal at 3PM." Yeah, I see the BD and Cadets staff going along with that.
Somehow I doubt it.

Looks like Mary Wells and Bobby Brown are doing a number of shows in Movement.

In the first corps a marched in, dues were $.50 a week. Times have changed, eh?
Fred O.
When did it change from "dues" to "tuition?"

Does anyone know if the judge Jeff Harper is the same guy that gets a shout out at the beginning of Cadets 1996?
That is where he marched, so it probably is.

I think that he's still bitter towards the Cavies since he was on the '75 Muchachos staff. <**>
and the Bridgemen in Denver....I'm noticing a pattern.
Wonder if Star ever had any overage members in their drum line?

I'm sorry to hear that Jamey Thompson has left. I think it was a good fit for both he and the Regiment.
I think one of their big issues, well two issues actually are staff retention, and, sorry to say, knowing how to write for white uniforms.
When a corps is constantly in transition (i.e. new drill writer every few years) there is a learning curve time where the drill-writer and the corps become comfortable with each other. I think one of the big reasons the Cavaliers are successful is the staff retention over the years. Michael Gaines and Jay Murphy have been with their respective corps for a good long time. The Cadets have switched writers over the years, but they seem to be with people that have worked with the corps previously, so the learning curve is minimized.
The white uniforms are classic Phantom, but it takes special writing to keep the corps from looking "blob-like" when they move. No matter how well they execute, if it is not written properly, it will look "clumpy." You have to use the whole field and not limit yourself with props everywhere. For me, this year, that was a problem.

I won't be going if I don't know what I'm going to be seeing.

I put on the brakes hardcore to avoid destroying a guard judge who was kneeling down... just under the front of a xylo I was sprinting to. I later regretted it when she (by all accounts unfairly) tore our guard apart and cost us a spot in semi's.
When did they put the guard judges on the field?

Speaking of distracting the media.. guess where I'll be on Sunday the 16th of July.. with an Old Style and a bag of peanuts?
any ideas?? :D
WATCHING THE CUBS LOSE!!!! <**>

Go to the SOS. It will be a great show and you'll see all your old friends. People that you might not see in the melee that is Madison Finals. Plus the Alumni tent is not at Madison. For me, its not even a question. But I'm sure you'll make the right decision for you. :)

already been done... check out Cadets 93, about 4:50 in to the show where there is a snare feature and the guard is in the background... the guard tosses and then catches the rifle in their legs...
i find it funny how you try to make a retort with something that might seem impossible, but alas has already been done, more than a decade ago nonethe less
St. Anthony's Everett rifle line did this "effect" in 1979 in their winterguard show.

I doubt that it is stated in writing somewhere, but I think it would be understood that it would be unprofessional of the judge to discuss his scores with anyone other than his superiors or the the corps involved. It wouldn't be anyone else's business.
-
not to my recollection...but that whole pole moment was added right near the end of the season, so they didn't have as many opportunities for problems. Perhaps in 94, when the pole climb was first introduced (and done more than once in the show and for more of the season), might have had more opportunity for mishaps...

That was the guard sergeant, Warren. If they ever dropped him, they'd be on kitchen clean-up until they aged out. They never dropped him and he never slipped off.

84 Garfield was not only the best WSS ever, but the best drum corps show ever IMO.

If its such a big deal, then don't read the thread.
Its not a big deal, I usually don't read them, but I thought I'd just ask the question.
