GH logic is not like earth logic. He doesn't march to his own drummer, he marches to his own drumline

Feel free to keep that up.

Ellis Hampton officially out at Boston Crusaders

360-degree (!) snare cam from the victory run. Really, really cool use of the technology. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XD5m7Jf0wI

Funny you should mention that. If you listen to the latest DCI Field Pass, Dan Potter interviews John Mackey, who basically says "hey Bluecoats, you guys are awesome. Call me!"

there's at least one source on reddit claiming that Tim Snyder resigned from Troopers yesterday.

Agreed, although I missed seeing Allan C. on the field judging drums this year.

Something tell me they're going to have much bigger hiring priorities than marketing and social media...

from reddit:

You should take a look at the "Staff merry-go-round" thread. He ain't the only one making a change...

I hear the Troopers drum major tried to help, but it took him 20 minutes to walk over there.

Troopers ballad will be "The Boxer" ...

From the reddit thread: This happened immediately after the corps semifinals performance, when the members were gathering after an extremely emotional run. While gathered the event staff member began aggressively demanding the corps move out of the "access lane" (even though they left plenty of space), and even started throwing the ladder props while the kids were singing Battle Hymn for the last time. Tim came over to politely ask him to calm down and the corps would move in just a minute, when the staff member came at him with an elbow. Tim was only just defending himself and his kids (albeit very well).

same thing happened last year, I think. It's almost certainily an auto-flag from the JT song in the look back video. They'll fix it, probably on Monday.

soooooo... new brass caption head for Troopers next year?

wow... should we start the "2017 staff moves" thread now with "Troopers seeking new brass caption head"?

So very, very, proud

So very, very proud

man, Rondo is not having a good broadcast so far...

Appropriate because Star of India did it, and their drum major was some guy named Matt Harloff

They stopped doing age-out plumes during the show in like 2012. They'll still do it at retreat.
