Worst meal I ever had was "gravy bread". Corps was served turkey and gravy, but by the time the front ensemble got done loading and showering, there was barely any meat left. So the food ladies gave us sliced white bread and poured the remaining gravy with meat shrapnel over it. I should point out that this was in DCA, and what made it particularly memorable was that it was served to us right before finals. No better hype for your last performance!

I agree. Also my source is Mike Jackson, so I’m inclined to believe him. 😉 He has his reasons for resigning (and yes it was a resignation not a firing), but would like them to remain relatively private. He will most definitely be back in DCI when the time and place are right.

He is focusing primarily on Broken City (his WGI PIW group) for now. I assume this is true for Kevin Shah as well.

Unfortunately I'm not local, nor do I know anyone who is. However, if you need a show designed in a hurry feel free to contact me. I am used to getting music out fast, so the kids can have something to work with while you search for an instructor. Good luck!

Shane uses Dynasty... and IP, and Zildjian. Shouldn't be any endorsement issues. I assume Regiment will be switching to Evans once their agreement with Remo is up, but I could be wrong.

Thread alright?

Awesome stuff! Thanks for posting the notes. I feel like a smarter arranger after reading and hearing that! Next time, do your Vince McMahon voice for the intro

Thread of the year.

Wow. This is a complete shock to me! That's really unfortunate. I hope they recover, and it really is just a one year hiatus.

Call me nuts, but I hear some Firebird at 8:01. Rondo of Princesses?

That marching snare looks a lot better than I had imagined. It's exciting to think that there might be another valid equipment choice emerging. Hopefully the horns won't suck, and Ross will do their homework on the mallet equipment.

Standard size for outdoor is 14x12. Companies like Pearl and Dynasty make an "indoor" snare which is 13x9, but lately more and more indoor groups have been using 13x11 as their snare size.

2002 Crossmen. Done.

Yes. Her name was Kara Hoeflinger, I believe.
