  1. No problem! I know. I can completely see why you put that. Thank you so much!
  2. No but you're definitely in a well-deserved minority. You apparently didn't read blue9195's eloquent post. I'm not sure why the scorners are giving unwanted and unnecessary advice. Do you honestly think she's going to read this and go, "Oh! Ok! Now that THEY'VE said it was a bad idea, maybe I SHOULD live in a bubble for the rest of tour!" I refer to bloomom's post about what happened in 06. Ash is an unstoppable force and I am d### proud of her for it! By the way, thank you so much to everyone who posted compliments about what Ash did. It means a great deal to both of us.
  3. Wait, wait, haha. That's not what I meant. Lol. I was referring to how attractive it is when someone as feminine as she does something so gutsy. C'mon guys, her mom reads this!
  4. Bravo! Emphatically agreed, and much appreciated!
  5. Hahaha! Knowing her, she'd try it.
  6. Yes, I am. Thank you so much! Lol, wow. That's crazy!
  7. During the her lunch break on 25 July 2009, the day of the Southeastern Championships in Atlanta, Bluecoats soprano Ashley Burgess, having suffered from multiple bouts of pink-eye this summer, suddenly found herself with no vision in her now painful left eye. After being rushed to the local emergency room in Stockbridge, GA, the E.R. doctor dilated and dyed her eye and found she had a corneal abrasion with a remote possibility of an ulcer. They gave her eye drops, patched her eye, gave her two percocets for the pain, prescribed more, booked an appointment with an optometrist for the following Monday, and sent her back to the rehearsal site 45 minutes before the Coats left for the Georgia Dome. After being strongly advised not to march, she showered, made adjustments to her patch, put on her uniform and marched anyway, unable to guide left without turning her head. Her disadvantage caused her to tick only one set the entire show which she quickly corrected in the middle of the move (no she was not part of the collision and spill, that happened in the back of the diamond form, her dot is in the front of that). The rest of her show was perfectly marched! The next day, the brass staff requested the patch she wore that night to be signed and dated, "Atlanta '09" by her and kept in the corps to be passed down along with other artifacts from the corps' past for years to come, and she received applause from the entire Bluecoats hornline as she took her spot in horn arc during sectionals. Ashley embodies the gutsy passion for marching music that dwells within all drum corps members past and present. She represents us well, and I am the luckiest man on the face of the planet to be able to declare that Ash is my fiancee. I was in the Georgia Dome to watch her march that show last night. Words cannot describe how immensely proud I am of her. Sorry to honk, but her story needed to be told.
  8. You are absolutely right. And I am guilty of classless posts on here. We need to be reminded of what all of this is really about. Mad props to Cavies for the Cadet cake. The epitome of a class act!
  9. Hahaha! Nice. I was involved in that feed when he made the comment! Excellent response Madam!
  10. Was the exhibition show a standstill, or a full run?
  11. You do realize that you just made a "biased and ignorant" statement of blind hate about all mothers of corps and band members while accusing them of blind hate right?
  12. Or maybe waddling back and forth like penguins, Or maybe screaming "Yowza!" repeatedly into a microphone, Better yet, maybe they could randomly throw jazz into a winged victory show and call it GE!
  13. No, but we would most definitely be hearing about it from you. And to be honest, I personally would not defend Crown or Coats (two of my favs) if someone started a thread bashing them for chairs because I wouldn't have an argument.
  14. Lol. Yeah, someone hasn't. Alright. Not sure how, but ok.
