9 out tonight for PC, but mostly due to injuries and a viral bug per a check in with Admin. Not the same as the Cavies thing. Should be a speedy recovery.
RE SCV talent at PC, we only have one A corps vet in the Brass line marching with PC, and she was a PC FMM as well. We may have a few Cadet corps vets in the CG, but overall, PC didn't see a huge crush of SCV members coming to SoCal.
Fun Fact: The show coordinator for this show is Dr. BJ Brooks, who is on the music faculty at West Texas A&M and a FMM of both Troopers and Blue Knights. And his son Tobin is DM at Troopers this year! Puts on a great show every year!
To the member's credit, they are excited and happy for the recognition but keep using phrases like "there is a lot more work to do" and "we are ready to push to the end". That's also a testament to the guidance from the staff as well.
