I see your point and where you are coming from... and i can't beleive I left out John Gifford from Tarheel Sun/Carolina Gold.

I knew that you would appreciate that...

Many of us could have marched Division 1 corps, and now that ECJ has folded many of us will march Div 1 corps. But there was something special about the corps atmousphere that kept us around, and obviously something special enough to draw people to come march here. For instance, during my years at ECJ we had kids from the following corps.... Cadets, Spartans, Crossmen, Kiwanis, Magic of Orlando, Blue Devils, Boston Crusaders, Raiders, Yamato, Jersey Surf, Americanos, Targets, Citations, 7th Regiment, Joilet Kingsmen, Marion Glory, Dutch Boy, Spirit of Newark... and i know i'm missing a couple. Anyways, my point is that this was a corps that people wanted to go to. Most of us didn't want to be forced to march somewhere else.

Most of the staff was volenteer, or got payed next to nothing

I've got a couple years left, so i'm going to try out for Div 1... and when i don't make it i'll play real life and get a job in the engineering field.

GOOD times, but it was definitely time for a rebuilding year. Oh well...

Yeah i was just confused because I got an email from management saying that the corps folded... and then the very next morning all of a sudden ECJ was going back out in 07'. I wish them good luck, and I'm glad their attempt for the 07' season is now cleared up.

Uhhmmmmm.... i'm so confused. I'll just wait to hear an official word.

I'm not sure how that happened, but i posted under Tony's name. The previous post is mine. Sorry for any confusion due to the fact that half the corps lives in or around my house.

That truck is a pit's worst nightmare. At one time we were loading 3 marimbas and a couple vibes on the second level. As in lifting them up onto a truck that's not a lowrider in the first place wasn't bad enough... Disaster. Plus the torque from the truck is much worse on the second story causing the resonators to take an absolute beating. Goodluck with the renovating!

I don't think it is a secret... and if it was it's out now. 9 snares 5 bass 4 tenors 0 cymbals (we have enough in the pit) As of now... 6 marimbas 6 vibes 1 xylo 2 rackers 1 timp and a partridge in a pear tree Correct: "We don't need no stinking amps!"

A lot

Numbers aren't too important, but now that we're on the topic... I think it's safe to say that ECJ's pit has more people than most small nations.

Haha. You were scared... and i wasn't even yelling at you.

What does it matter to you. If you don't like their style, keep your comments to yourself. There is no reason for you to go around trying to bring the integrity of other corps down.
