Isn't that the point of this forum: To say things that no one agrees with? I have to sift through a lot of crap to find anything that I agree with. Singing the praises of a losing effort is just like trashing a successful drum corps. It is worthless. Everything on this forum can be viewed as rude if you don't agree with what is said. His assertion that I've done nothing is absurd. Backgrounds don't mean anything. Look at JW's background. Does that make him a success this year or last year? Did CrownBariDad march with this drumcorps in the past? Pretending that they did good is, to borrow your word, foolish.
