Ok, forgive me if this has been discussed already.... I watched the Cinecast tonight, and at the beginning of Cadets' show, there is a doorbell sound effect. In the APDs I've listened to, it is clearly a vibraphone. Tonight, it sounded like a Midi piano or a triggered sound effect. Both are illegal if I understand last year's rule change. I checked the recap, and Cadets were not penalized. So, what exactly was that sound? Or am I just going crazy? All ampery aside, solid performance from the maroon team, and everyone tonight.

I thought this might have been an early April Fool's joke, but I assume it's legit. http://www.magicoforlando.org/pressrelease/032205.htm EDIT: I suppose this makes sense. All of their instruments are under the same roof, so to speak. King hornline, Ludwig battery, Musser pit. Hopefully it will lead to some quality equipment from Ludwig again.

Ah, I see. Thanks!

SCV has been split for a while, but now that Casella is getting a signature stick over at IP, they'll switch over completely. The VF stick that used to be his sig, will now become the 'MS3'.

It's also probably worth noting that Regiment and Vanguard will be using IP sticks in 2004.

I assume you want snare sticks? Anyway, that's pretty much all I know. I'll try to help you out. Blue Devils - VF Scott Johnsons Cavaliers - IP Brett Kuhns / IP Mike McIntoshs for MTS effects Cadets - VF Tom Aungst / VF Thom Hannum Piccolo for MTS Phantom Regiment - I think VF Ralph Hardimons the last two years, not sure before 2002. Santa Clara Vanguard - VF Jim Casellas (discontinued, now called MS3s) through 2002, Hardimons in 2003? Boston - VF Scott Johnson? Bluecoats - Not sure, but it's gotta be an IP stick Madison - Used Pro-mark DC-1 Jeff Moores for the longest time. Went VF in 03 I think. Crossmen - VF Lee Beddis Carolina Crown - IP Paul Rennick? Magic - IP Colin McNutt Spirit - IP something..... Blue Knights - VF Ralph Hardimon Glassmen - IP McNutt? That's about as much as I could come up with. Feel free to fill in the gaps, or correct me.
