haha. My childhood was happy.

Finally....minus the in before the close part.

*punches more babies* I'm a ######!

Hey buddy. Thanks for the personal attack.

Would you prefer the Racine Scouts with their inflatabile sharks and dolphins (pool toys), or The Cadets with their benches?

I too appreciate their effort. However, that does not mean I think they had a good show performance-wise or design-wise. Please read my posts.

I was replying to other posters who seemed to think capital regiment had a wonderful performance. That is way I said they didn't execute that well.

I'm sorry my online interactions lack the sincerity you desire.

Everyone, let us pay attention to these great words when deciding how to post. May we all, including ~G~ himself, live up to this standard.

You bring up a good point. I wish we could talk more in depth about show design and performance quality without offending people or it turning into a debate about electronics/biases/etc. As I've said before, I respect the performers. I simply wanted to start a discussion about that portion of the show. I realize I could have done that in a more effective/productive way now. I apologize.

Yes.

Listen folks, I never insulted anyone personally, unlike some of you. The show wasn't bad. It was simply so-so. I never said it wasn't enjoyable. But when you compare the quality of performance to other corps, or even a standard, the show was just mediocre.

I don't understand this logic. Compared to the potential level of excellence in your corps performance, your actual performance was mediocre. There were many individual/performance issues. Plus the show design wasn't that great, notably the transition from the play section to the closing segment of the show. It's the truth, I'm not lying to you. The judges thought so too. You're right, you worked hard, however I think you should come to terms with the fact that the end product wasn't as good as it could have been.

This is true.

-No. I see that since you've marched corps that makes your opinion on show design more valid than mine. -I meant crap because all these things were fluff. Not saying it was bad. -I don't think the performers executed anything in that show well. It was a mediocre performance and a mediocre design. Thier placement reflected that. I do admire the spirit the players had and how much work they did, however I'm just being honest.

chheck your dvd, they use microphones

what was with all the random crap in that part of the show? Frisbee, singing/chanting, skipping, twirling trumpets? Wow.

I can't stand that Crocker fellow narrating the beginning of every show

It is interesting to see Spirit take a political stance like this. I'm looking forward to the show and what kind of reactions develop.

It's not as if Chops Inc. is the highest quality DCA corps out there. Their performances often fall short of most junior div. 1 corps anyway.

I'm hoping Marc Sylvester can respond to this thread.

"what we respond to in any work of art is the artist’s struggle against his or her limitations.” Discuss.

Suncoast Sound is playing the best of The Eagles.

That is exactly right. That's all I'm suggesting: that some guys feel uncomfortable because of this. I'm not suggesting segregation, however, blowing up at someone who doesn't like showering with gay guys is just as ignorant.
