  1. how many steaks can the Cavies get out of that?
  2. With the Netflix release of this next week, I wonder whether Cadets' memories will be renewed or make an appearance? Recent history is also the inspiration for Clint Eastwood’s retelling of the incredibly sad tale of “Richard Jewell” (Dec. 13), the portly security guard who went from national hero to wrongly accused villain in a matter of days after a bomb exploded on a crowded plaza at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.
  3. I hear there is some great hard workers here.
  4. and not even an hour's drive outside of Houston (corps usually stay as much as an hour and a half away for practices for Regionals) an exsanguination. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/11/26/feral-hogs-kill-woman-texas/
  5. and some on DCP have posted rumors that Carolina Crown also sought a loan, but DCP offers no proof. Also rumors that Crown was seeking to buy land for practice hall; also rumors that Jim Coates told BoD to start looking for a successor. Lots of wind, no substance found for any of this.
  6. Ah, at first I didn't get the mechanics of that being a zip code.
  7. Sounds like leadership of MBI might be dealing with a case of realism..........................Minnesota in the winter rather than racing from one national gym to another for Winds.
  8. No Mr. Ream, you have misunderstood. You got the D right, but you forgot the CA as in DCA. If you have done your Reading of this thread more thoroughly, most of the dissidents on this thread wear/wore blue.
  9. Special sale of Allentown tickets today; everybody come 12/9.
  10. Quite the plus. His work in Florida and with Cadets and Glassmen still lives today in the great memories of those strong hornlines. Quite the interesting personality to work with too!
  11. Might a 2016 circuit championship have any influence?
  12. Taking a fifth may have several interpretations.
  13. I thought you played something other than a soprano?
  14. from neutral observers present, I heard only good reports about the class act and teaching the brass and percussion experienced at the Salem camp. I presume Texas was similar?
  15. Whenever Mr. Ream's mortgage company approves my loan and the Brinks' trucks cart in the gold from Ft. Knox. It may be awhile since I have no first-born to offer as surety.
  16. Actually, the uniform/costume/garment manufacturers of the "marching" activity haven't all been that forthcoming that their vesture is American made or by American labor standards for the treatment of workers, no sweatshop conditions in overseas factories, no environmentally dangerous materials or sources of the same, etc., etc. As the age cohort for participants in DCI, WGI, BOA, USBands, TOB, Western Bands, UIL, etc. is often described as a demographic with idealism as its charism and environmental protection as its arena, I wonder how long before the marching activity sees any protests for such working conditions or possible problems if the industry continues not to be pro-actively transparent and the corps administrations merely budget conscious. Who knows the show-designers' mindset or embrace of reality? I think we are sitting on a land-mine yet to erupt.
  17. You are being a tease....................as in "I know a secret, I know a secret and you don't.)
  18. try www.thecrownstore.com/crowngear
