There was a reply to the restated question. It was not ignored.

The response was a direct audio quote from Marcel Marceau in Mel Brooks' film "Silent Movie"

That's odd. I was there and did hear George reply. I am surprised you did not Garry.

That's a very expensive favor

guess you weren't in the percussion caucus when he blew up at an instructor.

Well that's one way to decribe the session. Having been there I would say I have a distinctly different impression.

Program announcement from Citations forthcoming..... Promises to be a very cool show! Fred Ford Jersey Surf - Program Coordinator Citations - Program Consultant

Close, but no cigar. "Shorty" is Tim Bartholomew, who marched in the Garfield Cadets in the early 80's. He then went on to teach Cadets, Troopers, Crossmen, Star and is now the Director of Education for Jersey Surf. By the way, Scott Steward's next appearance after the finale of Next Great American Band will be Dec 21-23 at the Jersey Surf December Camp. Scott is the new brass caption head for the corps and we are all very excited to welcome yet another famous trumpet player into the Surf family!

Not quite true. The Citations had a wonderful Open House and first rehearsal. Over 60 new members, along with a large amount of returning veterans attended. To date there have been no staff additions from 2007 other than Ed Devlin as visual designer and myself as a program consultant. Stay tuned for more official information coming from the Citations.

It's wise to avoid making statements and promises that are not in your control.

Brian Whitty (Blue Stars), Ray Mar (Mandarins), Tom Chopelas (ECJ), Peter La Flamme (Spartans), Patti Nolan (Patriots), Bob Jacobs (Jersey Surf) and of course Roman Blenski.

Wondering what instructor has been a part of the most World Championship groups as a staff member. I do not mean who taught the most "high brass award" lines, but someone who was a staff member of a corps that won the title I am assuming it may be someone who taught BD (Wayne Downey) or Cadets, but could be wrong. Any guesses? Wayne Downey Bruno Zuccola Mark Sylvester

and Absurdity is making absolute statements with no facts to back them up. Class A, A & A/60, Div 2/3 history is filled with corps who did not build it right. quote name='GuyW' date='Oct 3 2007, 03:59 PM' post='2040137'] Inanity is describing a discussion as "whining". <**> And, whatever else it might be - "whining" is not proof of insanity. I also find it hard to believe that the majority of the Open class corps are not "building it right"....

Would it be possible for this thread to be closed by moderators? It appears no worthwhile dialogue remains on the subject. Thanks Fred Ford
