Correct, Glenn.

No parking for handicapped available closer?

You and your family are in my prayers, my friend. My most sincere condolences on a tremendous loss. Bruce

I don't know it's a matter of "accepted" as much as it is "we do with what we have until recruitment picks up." In my day, Sun routinely put out around 40 horns. Sometime a few less - sometimes more. This year they only put 14-15 on the field, but this years iteration is basically an entirely new corps after being off the field last year (after the Class A win in 07), and relocating the corps back to Long Island. New ballgame, new recruitment efforts, new everything. Starting from scratch. Would they - and we of the alumni - have liked to see a larger horn line? Of course - who wouldn't - but "we do .... etc." All things considered, I think they acquitted themselves well.

I might suggest that absent the old "tic" system - judging as a whole is entirely subjective. It would therefore be pretty much the same for all competitors, would it not?

As in the Sunrisers Frank Dorritie in uniform - 1969 Barnum Festival, off the line.

I have no idea what piece of music the Grenadiers are playing here, but I rather like it. Sounds like something from an early 60's detective movie.

Ray - did you ever feel like the world was a tuxedo .... and you were a pair of brown shoes? (props to the great George Gobel, Carson Show, late 60's)

All the videos have worked fine for me - even before reloading the MSJ one. FF2 latest flash player on XP Pro, home built.

Working fine for me - again. Just not enough, soon enough:)

The old school color pre's still give me chills. You can take your "new style" drum corps and stick it where the sun doesn't shine - THIS is DRUM AND BUGLE CORPS!

...spoke too soon ... <blush>

Billy!

Don't think it's a browser issue - I got most - missed a few that didn't load. Activity bar seemed to indicate loading from source was off.

So, what ... it's a plot to keep Grennie out of it? Different day - different judges - different scores. Affects all corps the same.
