  1. Touche! I owe you an apology. I do find it ironic that you would post something intentionally vague on a public forum...
  2. Haha... I would be willing to bet the farm you have no idea what you're talking about... I doubt you've ever worked with or marched for Christian. Not that I have, but I would love to know what your opinions are, and what they're based off of...
  3. I wasn't trying get ammo for an argument. I'm sure there is some truth behind what you've heard. I believe that there are at least as many members (if not many more) that actually enjoy this type of coaching. Not every member is belittled and the ones that are are usually slipping through the cracks and not holding up their weight. What the Emmerts bring is a complete display of unfiltered emotion... and you know what... I think that is directly displayed in PRs performances at the end of the year.
  4. Perhaps you should reread your first post if you consider mine condescending. Also... perhaps I gave the the benefit of the doubt by assuming you hadn't read the thread. If you did read the thread and still couldn't understand the context, then you probably shouldn't post snide remarks.
  5. Sooooo... apparently you don't read the threads before you comment and quote things out of context... The conversation had to do with a drop in performance level under the watch of the new caption head. The comment was made that their hornline had received 6th place this year. I was simply pointing out that they had placed 6th the two years prior as well. Now... if you would've read the thread, I wouldn't have had to explain that. You're welcom.
  6. Actually... I do understand how relative placement works. I've been in this activity a LONG time (and have won a couple of brass trophies myself). While you can argue symantics about "relative placements", I will go with my ears. The last three years of PR have been similar in achievement. Like I said before, the biggest drop off in brass performance in my opinion was between 08-09. Apparently the judges saw it that way too. With Ryan at the helm, the brass performance stayed about the same. I think regiment's placement this year had a lot to do with the return of a great visual staff and one helluva show (props to JD).
  7. And 6th is relative to 5th in my mind. Regiment got 2nd in brass in 08, i'd hardly call them a problem section. Regiment got 4th in GE music this year... the brass performance does have a hand in that as well. I would hardly call them a "trouble" section. However you want to chop it, PR has been 6th in horns the last 3 years. I think the hornlines from the last three years have been comparable, as can be witnessed in their placements. The biggest drop off I've seen was between 08-09, not between 10-11. Something else happened between 08-09 with PR brass... if you get my drift...
  8. They've been 6th in horns for the past 3 years... sooooooo....
