Alcohol is legal. Suck it.

Did I say that? Think like a reporter and only quote if it's quoted.

Does that mean Hemingway and Bukowski were horrible writers? Is your art defined by your actions? In that sense, my corps is not listed because I aged out and joined the real world. I still love drum corps but my entire existence isn't defined by dots on a field and notes on a page. I marched. I'm done. Who I am and what I choose to do has nothing to with the image of my corps because I choose for it not to. I choose not to list where I marched because I don't beat around the bush like 99% of the people on here about what the drum corps experience is actually like. The most crude things happen in drum corps. It gets a lot worse than this, ladies and gentlemen. And don't worry - as you pointed out, my corps isn't advertised in my signature. They aren't at serious risk for my (and a number of other's) actions because you have no idea who they are.

Band. Band. Band. Band. Band. Band. Band. Band. Band. Band. Band. Band. Band. Band. Seriously. Everyone that's said it has a point. I was drunk on the field my ageout year. A lot of us just carry flasks out there. It's just the way it was...in 05. And that's not surprising that it's still like that this year. My boyfriend was drunk on the finals field in 01, so it's no new occurrence. Just seems like people on DCP are getting more and more uptight every year. It happens. You won't be able to stop it by your constant blabbing on DCP. Write a letter and see where it gets you.

I love how this starts off with BAD experiences in the title before good. Y'all are so pessimistic.

Wrong thread.

As if you didn’t far exceed the quota of brilliance with your comments already, 84skyrydr. Congratulations, that’s hard to do in a place like this! I have gone back and read all ten pages of this thread and probably close to 70 or 80 of 84skyrydr’s recent posts, so no one can say I didn’t do my research! About the cancer comment, as it is something that I think has fairly easily been brushed off by the DCP community so far (only minus 84skyrydr and a select other few), I don’t think that it needs much more explaining than this: It was completely tongue in cheek. Who in their right mind would take that comment seriously? Maybe you should reevaluate who needs to “seek help,” 84skyrydr. Yes, I have been affected by cancer on both sides of my family and yes it is recommended that I begin getting mammograms at the age of 25, rather than 40, because of this (since you were so curious). I have a great aunt surviving and a grandmother who died of cancer but I do not sit here and let paranoia and sensitivity affect my personal sense of humor in everyday discussion. I don’t walk on eggshells to please those who are paranoid and sensitive and who don’t understand my sense of humor. It’s just ridiculous to sit here and make assumptions like that and call someone a moron, or low, or an idiot, or…God forbid…a vermin. I won’t apologize for my statements and I have a feeling I won’t look back on them and regret as they were not written in a serious manner at all. Stop taking life so seriously. We don’t laugh like it’s 1984 anymore. On to what is supposed to be the point of this topic (but obviously turned into 84skyrder’s #####fest)…Here are a few words from a good man named Noah Webster: Here are a few words from a case (taken from another thread) that perfectly exemplifies this word: Polite happy and carefree? Don’t have to belittle anything? Oh my. Iceman was right – seek help for delusion. The Cadets’ narration: I’m not surprised it's there and I’m not surprised it's bad. I marched five years in this decade. I marched in a corps (that you can probably guess) who used narration several times in one show I marched. I marched in a corps that (in my opinion) used it to where it was, at best, okay. I like narration in drum corps sometimes; sometimes I don’t. I actually really liked the narration in the 05 and 06 Cadets shows. I do not like the narration in The Cadets' show this year. If I went to a show and cheered my ### off for it, that would be hypocrisy. Just because an opinion is subjective (meaning modified by experience, preference or observation) does not indicate hypocrisy. Have we really not learned that here yet? It’s really clear through other posts made by 84skyryder that he’s not a fan of amplification and he’s actually going so far as to ‘age out’ and boycott shows after this year. It does not surprise me that he has posted yet another amplification thread and has turned it into a way to vent his personal issues and attack a couple members of this public forum. After reviewing the DCP Community Guidelines, I really expect this thread to be closed. It’s becoming pretty pathetic to read this constant rant targeted toward me while I refuse to revoke my statements. This will go nowhere. On one final note, I am so very glad most of us write like educated people with proper grammar and spelling these days; apparently they didn’t do that in 1984 and skyrydr84 is fighting that movement as well. My journalism professors would be proud. Waits patiently and ups her ante on this thread being closed very quickly.

Apple.

I definitely agree with this theory. A friend of mine and I were talking this weekend about this very thing. This may ring badly, but I don't know how else to phrase it...How do people still flock to The Cadets knowing that they're just George's little pawns in s#it stirring in order to change this activity? Or are people just that oblivious? I respect the traditional (brass, percussion and colorguard) for how brilliantly they perform, but I can't even bring myself to respect what George Hopkins is doing here. Really sorry if that came across and raised some hell, it wasn't intended to.

Bluecoats - The Boxer

I'M A DINOSAUR!!! RAWR!!!!! :-P

It's really interesting to see the same people who say Boston can overtake the Bluecoats say that Pioneer can't beat Madison. Interesting!

I'M A DINOSAUR!!! RAWR!!!!! :-P

If I had to pick being diagnosed with breast cancer or listening to that show's narration again, well... at least I'll look good bald.

My screen froze and support is offline. What do I do!? lol
