A friend of mine asked me a question recently, and i couldn't answer it... Why does the battery hold the strap/chain of the helmet in their mouth(s)?

So, would BDB compete against BD? Vanguard Cadets vs SCV? And what about the smaller Open Class corps? It seems like they would just get left further behind the pack.

Wait, what? How would that work?

Oregon Crusaders did very well at Premils this year, passing several World Class Corps. Should they join the ranks of World Class?

Pioneer troops the stands with Garry Owen after their shows! They played it on the field this year, though. Still cool!

They had capes in 2009, and they did look pretty cool... They used them visually a lot, too.

Stick a mirror where the buckle would be, and I'm sold!

I think my theater had the volume turned down a bit... It was still very enjoyable, but I would enjoyed it even more if the impacts had been more... Impacting! And we didn't get free movies, either.. But it wasn't my usual theater anyway.

Maybe they're doing it for the sake of being different... So they can have something to claim as their own, like the Cadets and the whole right foot step off thing?

Why don't Blue Stars use their trademark (literally) helmet anymore? They kept it for a little while, when they had the blue-white split uniform, but now have ditched it in favor of a shako. If they are the only organization that can use that exact style, why don't they? Is the design still trademarked?

PVC instruments and maybe some blue people to play them. THAT would be cool.

What if they just played the national anthem? One corps, or the top 12, or heck, maybe everybody! They wouldn't lose a whole lot of time learning drill or anything... Just have a "retreat". And push the stadium back a couple feet.

It is my understanding that John Williams won't let corps play his music. Is this the case? And if so, why?

I hope they stick with the same style of uniform, too... Maybe change the color of the vest each year? Their "dress uniform" just doesn't look like Surf to me!

Surf is definitely a crowd favorite this year... What would you like to see them put on the field next year?
