  1. So .... if kids aren't doing drum corps these days, what are they doing? What's new today that wasn't around thirty-five years ago? [as I type this on my PC...]
  2. Hmm, my goals are a bit arrogant...but it works: + Don't be a B****. + Do in the show what I do in rehearsal. + Don't let frustration stop me from getting better. + Be focused enough to apply corrections on the 1st rep.
  3. It still happens...especially as I&Es and Finals gets nearer :)
  4. Ziploc Bags! + of all sizes....great for storing wet socks/undies, keeping electronics dry, organizing/separating things, etc... Extra Socks + one of my favorite things about Tour is the feeling of putting on a pair of fresh, dry socks at lunch after a rough drill block on wet grass Carabiner(spell?) + to clip stuff to ur backpack (horn towel, water bottle, etc) It's always nice to have a free hand when sprinting from drill to sectionals. Duct Tape + The possibilities are endless. Mortar + For the times when you need to craft brick walls. Ruger SR9 + Always better to be safe then sorry. AR-15 + Because an SR9 is just not enough when Velocioraptors strike.
  5. MOAR!! [/trolling] p.s. sweet! new radio buttons for the polls
  6. Voted Keep Corps, Change Traditions. Well Traditionally, there were Fifes (spell?). They are woodwinds. Last time I checked, the activity evolved as opposed to died off. IMO, there is only so much you can do with woodwinds before the score ends up being docked. We tend to lose sight of a simple concept: survival of the fittest. As a general rule of thumb, things don't change unless there is an inherent need. Personally, I don't really see a need for WW's outside of solo work on the sideline, but it's not my decision. The name of the activity is Drum and Bugle Corps (short: Drum Corps). A major company name is Drum Corps International (short: DCI). Therefore, if WWs are implemented, the only names that have to change are the individual corps that choose to utilize them. As much of a modernist as I may be, I'm not going to pay to march in an organization that has me doing basics side-by-side with woodwind players.
  7. Phantom 2006 Phantom 2006 (again) SCV 1988 Troopers 2008 ---well, didn't really tell a story but was consistent with its theme :P Bluecoats 2008
  8. Haha, Man, that was one of the roughest shows that I've been a part of. My high school football team made finals in 2008 and the venue was Giants Stadium! Cool! Well, maybe too 'cool'. It was snowing that day. The football teams still played and the band director gave us the 'OK' to perform at half time. In ways, I was excited; In ways, I was upset. I was in a marching band that performed in a very prestigious place! I played a King Euph. Ouch. That weather threw my horn into something close to the key of A; that is, when my valves weren't frozen. Marching on that slippery field felt like marching on a freshly waxed wooden floor. Nobody fell that day (surprisingly). We finished, people clapped, the WW players couldn't move their fingers very well, and we had hot chocolate. Character was built that day. Edit: grammar
  9. Lolz, maybe it's b/c my pockets are empty, but I think it'd be cool if they decided to use the Mil to cut all of the member's tour fees to $0 for a season.
  10. Whoa, since when was this a democracy? Edit: close plz
