Yes

I hope not, with the way gas prices are, some corps may have to build rafts and float out there.

After fielding our Division 1 corp, North East Marching Storm for a full season and our division 3 corp, Finger Lake Fighters for a partial season the New York State Marching Assembly is proud to announce the season XI shows for both corps as well as our newest addition, the Empire State Vanguard! North East Marching Storm-------------"Into The Dark" Sometimes to learn the most about ourselves we most journey through the darkest regions of our souls. Music Prelude for L'Arlesienne by George Bizet Montagues and Capulets from Romeo and Juliet by Prokofiev Death of Flastaff by Walton March to the Scaffold from Symphonie Fantastique by Hector Berlioz Empire State Vanguard--------------"Under the Streetlight: The Music of Street Light Manifesto" This show features the up beat jazzy, punk rock sound of Street Light Manifesto, which we hope will please crowds, members and hopefully judges!

Hmmmm, DCI or BOA? My answer is.......... Yes. They are both wonderful for what they are. I personally prefere the sound of a marching band, and the sheer number of bands in BOA is also really exciting. However, DCI is just as amazing. It always impresses me the depth and beauty that the corps can put out year after year without having all the insturmentation that marching bands have available to them. So, yes, they are both amazing, so it is a wonderful tie!

Why only let color guard play with the sparklers, why not just get some real slow burning ones and let the drum majors conduct with them.

How does the rules congress work? Which corps get votes? Just wondering. Thanks!

How do we find out who won there state title? Will this all be announced sometime in the future?

Black with something, maybe yellow, white or red?

What about for corps that will be fielding in 2009 but didnt this year, will they be caption options in season XI or not until the next open season?

Because 11 is so much better than 10 because it is one higher. (Spinal Tap )

"Crash" is North East Marching Storm

Well, I would just like to wish everyone the best of luck as we start the Div.2/Div.3 quarter finals today and the Div.1 quarter finals tomorrow. So, good luck and I will see you all on the field.

Heck, I would be giddy if i did. I take it I am missing something though? Is winning quarters like a curse or something?

HOW DARE U HAV BAD SPELIN! U MUST DIEE! You mean like that?

Finger Lake Fighters steal the gold in Morgantown, for there first win, and the first win for either of my corp. I am very excited to see them progressing like this, just in time for finals!

OMG we might be able to sneak into finals nights! Riding right on the cutoff!

65 Music/35 Visual It is after all a drum and bugel corp, not flags with some music in the background

Well, not to be a pesimist, but unless somethings really start to change my corps won't be at finals as competitors, but I might be able to pop in and out of a live retreat to "spectate".

Yea, right now Finger Lake Fighters has a decent (knock on wood) chance of making some progress in finals week. Just need to find some way around the penalty.Hmmmm, to my thinking place.....

Dang penalties, if it wasnt for the .5 penalty that the Finger Lake Fighters are stuck with they would have taken 4th at the Erie competition!

We can send in a set of I&E for each corp we direct if there are more than one, right?
