    Please do.

    Fred shared a post on facebook that said, "Black Lives Matter Is A Leftist Lie."  It got deleted, and Crossmen has said nothing about it.  

    Meanwhile, their website says, "Crossmen Productions stands in solidarity with the Black and African American community along with all of our friends and family of color. You matter. Your life matters. Your safety matters."

    Anybody care to reconcile that?

    Frankly, I'm sick of the year-after-year hype. I want results. I think the members deserve results. And by results, I mean higher than 4th place. 

    Can we agree that results would include winning at least 1 show in a year?  2017 was the first time since 1979 The Cadets did not win a single show.  Not one.  The Blue Stars won a show last year, and the Mandarins won two.  The Cadets, none.  It's a return to an era this corps should have forgotten permanently.

     Some George Hopkins public musings from yesterday. I have no idea what he's talking about here, but perhaps his commentary is lucid and full of clarity to perhaps others here. So I posted it.

    I wonder who's his audience. He's always trying to convince someone. We can never tell if it's himself or someone else.  Maybe  sleep is rehearsal for death and the Internet is rehearsal for getting therapy.

    Fielders choice:

    the chief judge will determine whether you have to hand feed the chocolates to salivayting Cesario as he bathes - or -

    you get to spend the whole day (24 full hours) with GH as he comments on his FB vids.

    For either you must wear Madison's '17 costume including the make-up. 

    This HAS to go in our "best comments" thread! Somebody find an admin.

    Thanks.

    For reference interests, do you have a written or source for the info? I don't doubt you, just putting all the ducks in a row. (Since my house fire awhile back, I am still replacing some of the original sources lost to smoke and water damage, etc.)

    1. I should amend this to say critique ends the night before Atlanta for all World Class corps. Open Class corps have critique until they get to Michigan City. 

    2. Every year DCI sends out an email about how critique ends on [Date]. It includes lots of rules about not talking to judges, not texting or calling friend-judges, how to give feedback of someone talks to a judge illegally, etc.

    Why not move it to Wake Forest in Winston Salem NC?   Nightbeat there was awesome, great facility and plenty of room for buses and trucks. 

    You mean RainBeat? NotBeat? That event has around a 40% cancel rate historically. Sometimes for lightening, other times rain. Doesn't matter if it's the old Irmo event, Veterans Memorial, Rock Hill District Stadium, or WFU. That's an unreasonable weekend to be outside in the Carolinas. 

     

    That said, it ran perfectly this year. 

  7. Bump. If you skipped to the last post (as we all do) please read from the beginning.

    This thread is a must read for those wondering about the health of the activity. It's a bit of a read, but not that long of you skip the color commentary and stick to the figures.

    They finished high with more "stock" shows because of their incredible talent and vet/staff retention. If they had a show similar to Power of 10 with this young corps, we might be asking if The Cadets were going to make finals. This was a GOOD step.

    Perhaps this all is just an amazing long game and The Power of 10 show is a ten year slow grind to 10th place, at which point the 2015 corps will be retroactively declared champions. That would ironically be their 11th title, ruining the 10 motive and they would then be stripped of that very title.
