I would say the closest we have seen to what you listed is the Mandarins when J.W. Koester took over in 2015. 2015-20th 2016-17th 2017-13th 2018-10th

Mandarins don't get to Clarksville till Friday. They are currently at UTSA. They have a late morning/early afternoon rehearsal Friday at Kirkwood high school before heading to the show that evening.

Texted my boy. Waiting to hear back from him.

Facts. I can confirm this happened. Carolina Crown is PURE CLASS! Alot of us on this site can learn a thing or two from these kids. Much love and maximum respect to the awesome staff and performers from Ft. Mill SC.

Arthur Blank needs to call Jed York, owner of the 49ers and school him on food prices at Levi's Stadium. At Niners games when you pay for food, the cashiers don't say cash or credit, they say deed to your house or pink slip to your car.

@Metalbinky Any info on open/closed rehearsals this week?

Boss with the mic drop............. Boss gets a standing ovation...........

Well, there it is. If the Mods said no, we have no choice but to respect it and move on. And to everyone who is still in contact with Poppy, let him know he is missed by all that knew him here on the site.

Time to roll them sleeves up and get to work, four days of cleaning awaits. Let's crush it in Nashville on Friday night!

Congrats on a historic night Mandarins!

88.15! Great job Mandarins! Time for four days of cleaning, and on to Nashville Friday!

Loving the new closer!

My goodness. What does $325 get you in today's tour fees..........a shoelace, one sock lol.

Whoa! That's a name I haven't heard in years!!

Maybe we should start a "Bring back Poppy" thread lol.

I'm in! Bring back Poppy!

I've learned in the last 12 hours that our Poppy is not the AGT Poppy. But our Poppy is still a legend!

Sad but true brother. No lies told. Darn shame when the kids on field act older than the "adults" that are put in place to take care of them.

Good point! I think the X-Factor is J.W. Koester. Looking at where the Mandarins were before he got here, and where they are now, I would say this is his most impressive feat to date, even with directing PR and SCV to championships on his resume.

You are just trying to get me in trouble aren't you LMAO! But yea you are right and that's a VERY small part lol. People would never look at Chiquita the same ever again LMAO.

The first thing I thought about was Family Guy's parody of Poltergeist, and Meg's rear end in that episode. LMAO.

Thanks for the correction. That's what I meant to say.

Wow that would take forever lol. Poppy was on here for years. But those that remember, man were they hilarious comments lol. But in all seriousness, while Poppy had a unique approach, he knew his stuff when it came to drum corps. He was very knowledgeable.

Good question, just from what I hear, they are doing very well. But I don't have the in-depth knowledge, and I am not going to make a fool of myself and pretend to have all the pertinent info lol. @brassboy @CAtenhut @JohnDF are the guys that are definitely more qualified to answer that.

Thanks for those kind words brother. I really appreciate it. But let's keep it real, your boy and that Crown brass ain't chopped liver! My mom was blown away by Crown's brass when we were watching San Antonio the other night. We both have a lot to be proud of.
