Try it in a Corps under 17th. even less. (so I'd assume, I've never made semis).

Crown 08.

Some Corps march only Euphs (Phantom). After 2 Winter Camps your arms will be fine. (You'll do enough pushups). And why top 10? Top 12-13 would be more fun so you have motivation on the last days of rehearsal.

Surf uses Jupiters and they're beautiful (in sound and in looks). Baritones in Surf use the same size mouthpiece as the standard expectation (6 1/2 AL) Yes, I would buy an instrument from a Drum Corps because I know it's used but respected.

Glassmen 97, Euph.

Looks more like a Bass Mellophone (That coming from a Trombone player, switching to Baritone for DCI) You can never have enough Bass, or enough Mellophone. I approve of this instrument.

I don't see any murders in that plotline, therefore they cannot win.

If only all 8 of those spots would go to an extra large Contra section. But yeah, any word on how they're splitting it (2 more for each section?)

The Smurf Turf of Boise Idaho. http://www.astroturfusa.com/resources/imag...ields/Boise.jpg (I haven't marched on it, but I'd love to)

Worry about your "final corps" after you do a year in a "lesser" corps. Don't think that only the top Corps are worth joining. I've been to an Open Class Corps camp. More intense then you would think. (and tons more fun)

Carl Orff music. or a Bizet show. I can't remember any other than the Glassmen 1997.

Simply incredible. I listen to shows way more than I watch, so I can't find many visual quirks.

1. Cavaliers 2. Blue Devils 3. Holy Name Garfield Cadets of BC. (they should try to think of a longer title of their show, to make this score announcement as excessive as possible) 4. Phantom Regiment 5. Bluecoats 6. Santa Clara Vanguard 7. Carolina Crown 8. Madison Scouts 9. Blue Stars 10. Colts 11. Troopers. 12. Jersey Surf More of a wishlist then a prediction...

I dislike it when people yell "Go Meghan!" or some girls name right before Cavies or the Scouts. otherwise, if it doesn't ruin a moment for the corps, I like it.

Best of luck to Surf in their first WC season :)
