Interesting, in a kumbaya moment, that Mr Zing leaves the other discussion soon after this all breaks? (Daave thinks to himself... channelling Oliver Stone)

Answering questions with questions. Got it.

Of course you will. Were you or the bandbucks of the forum to say... be marks fof Mandarins or Academy or Pioneer, would you think otherwise? Given the totality of the situation?

A photographer, taking photographs, ruined a photograph for someone. Irony is so.... Ironic

Yeah, ummmm... it appears that this was decided sometime before Denver.

Bump for tonight. Has there been any word about how the qtrs seeding are to be determined?

There, that looks better.

It's his sidearm that she takes from him during the "embrace" at the end.

So what's the validity of the information that two gentlemen named "Mark" and "Fred" were the ones that initially stood up to all of this after that meeting?

Ohhhhh, I see what you did there :) Are you also a fan of Dolly's biggest hits?

Just how does one work harder and prepare to avoid torn ligaments/tendons and broken bones?

Bwwwwwhhhhahahahahaaaaaaa Little Bobby Boucher. But, but, but Momma. I wants to play drum corps.

Yeah, don't you know? You're only allowed to be upset if you are a BD mark.

Ok, so I am a bit confused. Not directed at you at all, just using what you have posted to see if I can understand. You could insert any corps . Anyyyyyyyways... On so many other threads, people opine that there are no more meoldies, the "chop and bop" rules and how nice it would be to hear complete melodic thought. In this instance, Troopers are not attempting this and instead playing Copeland for a period of time. Yet, at least in an opinion, it is tha bane of the show and boring. So, my question is, which is it? Does the consumer desire (or are they conditioned) to hear the chop and bop, or is the consumer so conditioned that they cannot appreciate say Copeland for more than 2 minutes and be not bored?

I dunno, what do you think my avator might give you as a hint?

Wow, just wow. Maybe drinking during pregnancy does cause damage?

Drinking the bong water and posting is never a good idea.

Granny, if you are reading this, at intermission go up there and cuff the cameraman upside the head about the focus and if that doesn't work and while he's picking himself up of the ground, reach over and adjust the focus... pleeeeeeeeease? Thank you.

Three things overheard in the section I was in last night. From what appeared to be a 10-12 year old young lady, "That's not Drum Major Jeffrey. That's Drum Major Bobby Boucher." When the BD guard is standing in front of the mirrors at the start of their show, "Yes, the mirror's do make you look fat." And the always reliable quote during the marriage proposal, "Don't do it, it's a trick."

Nice A little levity is always welcome as the season wears on.

Here's a tip you can put in their tip jars. One good turn... gets most of the blankets.

Yeah, it appears to suck right now being the Troopers and BK who have been dealt an interesting hand with that nice little tour through the Pacific NW.

One of the shows up that way was the same way last year. No announcement of corps, etc. and then show night it appeared to be a surprise to many when they announced at the last minute it was exhibition. (shrug)

Kinda flys in the face of that whole marketing aspect of the g7 thingy, huh?
