Chuck's resume in drum corps is bulletproof. Hiring him at Madison is a *great* call, and you have no idea what the heck you're talking about.

Confirmed. It was part of his "thank you" speech, where he did offhandedly acknowledge there were issues, but really took a shot at "internet trolls". For those of us on the back side of the field in the corps staff area behind the corps at retreat, it was a real "WTF, did he really just say that?" moment.

Highland is on the schedule for Reading with a performance time of 6:40, leading off the show. Here's the official rundown... 1. Highland Regiment 6:40 2. Cadence 6:57 3. Skyliners 7:14 4. Bushwackers 7:31 INTERMISSION 7:48 5. Cadets 2 8:15 6. Hawthorne Caballeros 8:32 7. White Sabers 8:49 8. Reading Buccaneers 9:06

The "they" in my post wasn't the individual potential member...it was the corps.

The irony being, of course, that "jazz" is far more diverse than "classical" is.

They were first on Thursday as well. The bad night was last night's judge.

Barf

It's not bragging when it's true.

2009 was far worse.

Sorry, man, I missed the sarcasm of the gif...got 'em turned off.

It is when you're accusing a drum corps judge of bias. The numbers don't tell a story without the commentary and critique feedback.

Unless your research includes all the judge's tapes that go with those numbers, and notes from critique feedback, your research is flawed to the point of meaningless. Numbers don't exist in a vacuum, and unless you have the commentary that those numbers are derived from, you might as well toss all that "data" in the trash.

Yes, you can.

That's how contest dynamics work sometimes.
