Id love to get my hands on one of those.

Beat me to it. 69 ruled. I especially liked the uniform call that we did once where they were calling out bag numbers. When I stepped forward after 69, the comment out of everyones mouths was "yeah.. that fits..."

Age raised to 25. Woodwinds allowed in the pit.

Not nearly good enough for all those that have lost their lives and the millions that have lost their innocence... http://video.msn.com/video.aspx/?mkt=en-us...p;wa=wsignin1.0 http://www.triroc.com/wtc/ God bless America

Pay back Bill Cook? The billionaire who is listed in Forbes as one of the richest men in America. It's a touching gesture, but I wouldn't really miss that money if I was the 1% of Americans whose family is set for life. I would think that Cook wouldve felt the experience was the payback, but what do I know... I'm just an idealist.

the question is rather like a loud hornline: how much more can we give?

Not unless you raised the 3rd scale degree of the mode (or for you fixed-do geniuses the 4th). This is fun. We should have a music theory forum on here to discuss drum corps arranging and shiz. edit: oops! i thought you said harmonic major (1 2 3 4 5 b6 7 1) the harmonic minor is 1 2 b3 4 5 b6 #7 1

Fixed... heh.... I have enough trouble with moveable-do solfege in aurals to try to worry about fixed.

Well, dorian is: 1 2 b3 4 5 6 b7 1 (do re me fa sol la te do) Which means that you get a minor triad on the tonic i, and if you add a 7th, it'll be a m7 chord (because of te).

Technically, it really shouldn't matter. If the Crossmen had wanted too, they could have sustained that chord in an ostinato or a full-scored legato section and made it tonicized, thus having it technically resolved.

If anyone is going to this: Make sure you see West Chester. There are a ton of corps kids in that band and its marching and musical styles mimick drum corps. Crossmen arranger (Andrew Yozviak) is the director and arranger. Then you can say hello to me. I'm the mellophone player with the shako visor covering his eyes...
