I never knock anyone for the beer they like. We all have different taste buds and different experiences with even the same beer. A beer someone says they like is worth trying at least once.

Do they only have about 5 beers on tap at a time? I might be looking in the wrong place.

I'm huge into sours and barrel aging as my go to first try. If a brewery can knock those styles out I then want to try their Hefe, IPA, Brown, Amber, etc. Know of any Indy sour specialists?

Is RAM a Washington state company that just does local beer as well? Not many positive reviews on the beers, have you had any?

.

Were do I grab great local craft beer? I'm a Texas guy so I need truly local Midwest craft. Maybe a bar that has 40 to 100 unique taps and local is well represented on the wall? No style preference, I am Cicerone Certified. Just want to try the best there is in the region while I have the chance.

He calls it on a night-by-night basis. If you have an off night he doesn't give you the uptick trend in score for your season. But if you are on he rewards you.

When Prosperie judges nearly everyone sees it as the truth. The man with the correct scores and best tapes comes from the Hellcats. If it looks like he dumps one Corps and favors another it's because night to night he gives an honest read of every line (plus front).

You're correct, when you are told your visual approach doesn't work anymore, you change. Same with brass.

Only the 3 that I have seen.

You two are made for each other.

Got one of my boys front and center in one of the shots, thanks for the rehearsal photos.

Welcome back Anstig, hope your homerism still holds true.

It always is, but the calendar says TBD for some reason. I will try and find out.

Great job Garfield! This morning show has done more for Drum Corps than Clash of the Corps ever did. Glad the whole thing worked out so well.

Don't know exactly but it could be Centerville as they could make that trip in one night and have the show tomorrow. EDIT: also they are really close to UD I've seen via Snapchat.

Not for the Bluecoats bari soloist though.

Yeah I'm not 100% opposed to soloists, but that has to be the stupidest decision in DCI this year.

Solos didn't seem the best tonight, and quite a few issues with feet and forms. Any clue if the second sop soloist at the end is way under-balanced to the first one all the time or just tonight? Don't see any gain on Crown tonight.

Get. It. Guard.

Obviously you can't read subtext. It's of course one of the topics you don't acknowledge taking part in because of the cops stationed by the buses at the MTSU show.

Not quite on the details there. Certainly was never a thing and never happened. But if it happened, it wouldn't have stopped shortly after 2008.

Taking off the Aussies works well for this show. When they get rid of most of the black in the uniforms the hats didn't help portray the change from up top. You notice a major change in the uniform with the hats gone. But they won't be getting rid of them forever.

How do you feel about the final My Way hit in person? I've always loved it through flo, just comes off as a powerful moment as they march back field. Though I know many have distaste for the singing.

I think 150 is a very solid number for some time. A tipping point is probably 200 members. I think at that point you aren't just pushing passed a 4th bus, but you are generating so much needed equipment that extra 18-wheelers would be needed. Currently most groups have also food truck and 2 equipment trucks. Getting close to 200 would probably require a 4th truck and all of the costs and problems that come along with that.
