Will be at AMC Chattanooga 18, TN. For several years, we've gone to the AMC in Kennesaw GA, but that one's sold out. Looking at you, Spirit!

Music City Friends and Family Performance

Friends and Family Performance

Works great! Less filling! (Yes -- I'm old and watch too much TV.)

IDK -- Maybe less than if they were running in and out of sets. BUT -- they DID help keep the field clear of sticks, shakos, and the occasional snare drum. 🙂

I think ALL the judges are either on the sidelines or press box. None actually on the field with the members.

When I added the title to this thread, that's what I thought, too. I originally typed in "Of Mice & Men". Glad I double checked.

I was just about to mention that. You are correct. Thx!

All the Corps we've been associated with -- Crown, Spirit, PC, Southwind, and Music City -- wanted and appreciated any help they could get. I know Crown would send volunteers out during tour for 2 weeks at a time, but if they were at a school close to you, you could drop in to help whenever you could. I'm hoping this is just a miscommunication.

Looks like it. Or tending the roses at Cindy's castle. Or polishing the Walt and Mickey statue. The Wife and I got to ride in the front car of the monorail for our Anniversary a number of years back. They don't let folks do that anymore. Sigh!

Hmmm ... and I thought these guys loved Disney. Guess I was wrong. Haha! They LOOOOOOVVVVVEEE Disney!

A little bigger pic of the news article:

Item #2: A performing ensemble doing their own arrangement of a copyrighted work needs permission to arrange which might involve a fee and permission to perform which also might involve a fee. (Ignoring that can of worms called sync rights if the performance is recorded/broadcast). It seems to me (not a lawyer), they are covered just like they have been in the past. I'm not aware of the venue needing ASCAP/BMI permission to put on the performance. But, I could be wrong.

Just throwing this out there: How much of this is money (probably, quite a bit) and how much is political? In the past few years, some musical groups have objected to the fact that political groups have paid the performance fees and are legally using that band's/singer's music at rallies and such?
