Interesting to see Jack Pursifull as PR's new drill designer. Didn't really dig much of what he did for Madison.

Certainly a step up, imoIMO

Scouts have updated audition information on the site, for those interested.

That would be awesome!

This.

And there are always people that hide behind a screenname, makin snarky comments, just to see their own wit.

Scouts 1999. The Superstar restatement, cross/star. Fun fact-first few weeks of the season we performed that part at the start of the closer and had a completely different ending. Changed it-glad we did!

Nope, caught that as well. I'm speaking in general, not isolated points in history.

History, it has a way of repeating itself.

You have to understand, reading is hard for some. Some have to interpret things passively so they can feel better about themselves.

Where in the announcement does it say he's designing the show or is program coordinator? Hes listed as artistic director and staff coordinator, but yeah, you're right, that means he has no connection to modern drum corps and will be designing all aspects of the show. I have it on great authority that he's decided the show will be show #1 from 1976. Do you put this much scrutiny into the staff choices of all corps, or do you just like to assume the worst?

Sadly, I know many alums from the corps that don't wish them the best. Some I marched with, some haven't supported the corps as spectators or donors since their marching years.

According to Brad Kerr Green's website, he is currently the brass arranger and caption supervisor for Pacific Crest. In 2018 Doug Thrower was arranger, so looks like a change there.

Why don't you do the research for yourself, you'll find it out there.

Actually, the 2015 corps placed higher than the Mason years, not taking anything from what he did, but 2015 was a step up competitively.
