Well, you're entitled to your opinion.

Have you seen the shows?

I'm sure your son or daughter is having a great time marching there right now.

You have no idea what you're talking about and it's obvious.

You'd be surprised to see what the members post on Facebook.

The most notable to me are: Star 91, 93 Cadets 05, 06, 08 BD 10

I find the irony of this humorous.

I have an idea! There should be a Tour of Champions that includes only champions.

Most hornlines do. In my drum corps experience, the berps were usually never prefered over holding the mouthpiece in our non-dominant hand while buzzing.

It's meant to mimic your horn carriage while allowing you to buzz on the mouthpiece. In drum corps, it's mostly just for show. I marched two corps that used them, I only put my mouthpiece in it 5 times in those two years.

Gonna have to disagree with ya there

Are there any videos? I would love to see this

It can be resolved by the audience realizing that the champions are the best performers, not the most entertaining. Once the scores are based on the cheap thrills that band kids want to see, dci will be nothing more than good college marching band.

The Cadets were just as clean in 2012 as they were in 2011. Interpret that however you'd like.

Didn't look as demanding because they actually looked good doing it, don't get confused.
