Well, I think they are probably starting things at the right time at least. Considering this news is coming out now, and not month/s from now. Best of luck.

1) As far as I understood when it was left off in topics here before when they were going through the whole bankrupt thing, they still had possesion of the equipment and uniforms. They sold the hall so that should have taken care of the majority of money in debt. 2) How would you go about membership? Would you really turn away from any route that could yield potential members? Why not do every avenue you have to gain bodies? Why close this topic yet? There hasn't been any flaming or crazy talk really? Do we need to close a topic when someone ruins it? Yes. Do we need to close every message that is posted that 'could lead to an argument'? No. Adults can have disagreements, hopefully this thread continues to be 'flame-free' so to speak.

This is a good thing for New England area drum corps. Having another team back in the mix will help revive kids interest in actually marching open class corps instead of just kicking around in HS Band or doing nothing at home. I hope that there is now a legitimate 3 team mix-up with the Spartans from NH, the Citations from MA, and the 7th Regiment from CT.

updates anyone?

This probably is a bad/unnecessary idea for a thread. I'm sure they get your point, but, don't rattle the cage by starting a whole extra thread. Go call out people for bashing in the thread where its happening.

Are you the same people who were involved with Lehigh Valley Knights? If so, you should come back as the Lehigh Valley Knights. I miss those guys, good quality group.

I know that all of the articles we have been reading on here came from the Nashua Telegraph, but I don't know if there are any substantial sayings of a forced step down. I searched the website and didn't pull anything up so maybe the articles were taken down. Half of them were EdOp anyways. Regardless, I wish the best of luck to the organization, now that (in many opinions) the problem is being taken care of. Paul Jr. is a great man and can hopefully right the ship. I'm sure he wouldn't be doing this if he did have the desire to turn the group into something positive again.

New Balance is going to completely own this vote.

Why is 3D back as the newest thing in the world? Everything lately seems to be in 3D. There was a superbowl commercial or some NBC show, and that valentine movie recently. Like, I remember being in the 90's and having stupid looking 3d glasses on while I was at the "Honey I Shrunk the Kids" ride in Disney World. I just don't really get why the resurgence of 3D is like super awesome now, when it was already around, and only mildly entertaining.

Hey man, like I said, I'm pretty unfamiliar with everyone else outside of New England. Just because I'm around here doesn't mean I'm staffing them, just giving a little 'eastside love' to 7th and Citations, considering they are all I really have left to watch with a little Spartans thrown on the side (but who knows what that whole deal is.) While I'm respect your disagreements, this isn't a thread about your personal top 12, this is a thread about someone looking for places to march.

Yeah, it probably is for another topic but, I'll put in two cents before I move on. New England is ripe with plenty of musicians, just nobody is marching, especially with the current situations of some of these troubled groups. I know that I chose not to march Boston because the camps were in FL, even after being offered a spot. I went to the camp that was actually in Boston... so why can't they just stay in Boston. [/personal gripe] Most people I know around here are going down to Cadets or not marching at all (which is a shame).

I dig the bass heads, only because of the muffling system but, I've used the snare and tenor heads for the past 4 years of my life and I hate them. They're more durable, but they sound like pillow on tenors. The only thing worth a lick on tenors are the MXFrost, but those aren't even that great, the coating comes off quickly, and they're far less durable than the rest of the Evans line. I am a strong, biased user of Vic, Pearl, Remo and Zildjian. There is no other choice for a truly professional sound.

All I know is New England. Spartans are struggling to survive. Citations may be a bet, but I've heard they are pretty full from people I know in there. Being in the CT area, I've seen 7th Regiment a bit and they look much stronger, I'm betting finalist. Apparently that post that the news feed just did says they are still looking. Probably trying to fill out the larger brassline they just bought.

It's gotta be 04. Absolutely hands down. Best the corps had ever been, and it took quite the finals week to do it.
