An Amercian Elegy then Nitro by Frank Ticheli and arranged by Jay Bocook.

you are correct

Well if they were staggering it, that it actually makes it more difficult to line up as an ensemble, though maybe a little easier on the individual players. I still dont understand how people can think 2000 was faked somehow. Pretty much the entire hornline was doing it, so I dont see how the ones that we playing their own horns could have somehow covered for the ones that werent...

I wish blisters were all I had to worry about. I have bunions and they are pretty painful to say the least. Surgery is the only cure in most cases.

I'm still surprised that the poll is so close...

My favorite is grilled cheese and tomato soup...even if it wasn't raining :P

Also to add to the past couple post, I can't comprehend one thing. The cadets came into quarters having beaten the blue team the last two times they met (even if it was by a small margin). They then had 3 long rehearsal days because we all know they don't do I&E, compared to I'm assuming 2 blue devil rehearsal days (which probably aren't as long). Yet bd somehow ended cleaner...but who knows, maybe they did out perform the cadets all 3 nights

From what I understand, the judge coordinator on the field did tell George they would redo the hashes and mentioned nothing about a penalty. George did the right thing considering the circumstances. I'm sure there could have been a better way to go about it, but at the time it was a decision that had to be made fast and I doubt he realized the crowd reaction would be so bad. It's a shame that the members had to endure what they did and even though it did effect their performance that night, it made for a more amazing and emotional semis performance.

I heard there is going to be an Orlando show this year.

I wonder... Some people seem to think that the GE score would have been higher without narration. Is it a possiblility that narration actually helped the GE score and without it they wouldn't have done as well?

This is what I was saying earlier. If it was another corps I doubt the crowd would have had the same reaction. Even on semifinals and finals you can hear people in the crowd making rude comments during the show. The hashmarks just added to the controversy even though Hop did the right thing. It is what it is...

Haha yes I remember ;) I loved the show just the way it was, don't get me wrong.

I don't think the use of narration helped though. Do you think they would have done the same if another corps did the same?

I don't want to start another debate on this but I wonder what would have happened on quarters if they didn't use narration. Would the crowd have reacted the same? Would they have had a better quarterfinals show which would have set them up for the next 2 nights? I know for a fact the members were a little down after that whole incident....just putting it out there.

I like the 1st part of SCV but with the solo to the end of Cadets...
