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

Rick is a wonderfully talented and creative designer. Not a bad singer either. I am sure he will do a great job. Fred Ford

Sure has. 1998

I do not believe the poster in question is a current member of Jersey Surf. Fred Ford Program Coordinator Jersey Surf I know I need to change my screen name!

From the order of appearance line-ups it appears that The Oregon Crusaders are in Div 3.

Pretty sure the performer is Bill Solari - former ECJ visual staff member & currently working with the Spartans brass section. Bill was one hell of a player, finishing in the top 3 in individuals several times in the early 80's.

In no particular order - and all of a personal observation. 1. 1994 27th Lancers first hit in Crown Imperial 2. 1989 SCV company front push at end of Music Of The Night 3. 1992 Crossmen brass re entry after perc break in Rain Forest 4. 1987 Cadets ending 5. 1984 Suncoast Sound, the balloon goes up in the air and not on the field, but by far the most spine tingling and emotional moment I have ever witnessed in drum corps.... Kansas City 1989 Madison Scouts singing You'll Never Walk Alone to alumnus who was injured in an accident the year prior

Correct. Jason is on board with Surf to run the visual program.

The members of the 2006 East Coast Jazz are very intelligent young adults who are more than capable of making an informed decision on where they would like to continue their marching career, if at all. They are more than aware of the fine programs offered by the areas corps at all levels of competition and I am sure decisions to march will be made based on a lot of factors, none of which will be offers made on this, or any other, thread on a newsgroup.

Thecorps were all on the same norm. Mandarins were the top scoring corps in Div 2/3 that season. They deserved it. quote name='Latrobe's Finest' date='Aug 22 2006, 01:17 PM' post='1550100'] Hopefully this will make sense: Today in 2/3, the corps are scored on the same 'sheet' so a corps score can be compared across divisions, ie: a division 2 corps with an 80 has a lower score than a division 3 corps with an 81. Now, my question is, back in the day, early 90s, was this the same way? I was looking thru my DCI program from some years ago and saw that on a couple of occasions, the D 3 champ had a higher score than the D 2 champ ('97 for example). No offense to the D 3 champ, but I found that hard to believe considering the level of the scores (mid 90s) and the obvious size difference. Does someone have any insight? Thanks!
