    Will this be (potentially, never count out Troop) Colt's first show win of the year? That'll build some confidence going into the last legs of the season. The few shows we won BITD, we were riding on Cloud 9 for a month. Then of course reality set in.

    I see these drum transcriptions all the time and just say to my self, well uhhhhh yeah sure I can do that. Can I try it a few hundred times at 10 bpm first?
  4. OldSnareDrummer
    Thanks for the clarification, Richard. I presumed when you were talking about the whole BD organization, that included International and all the other ensembles they have going on. Great story about your son. You must be one proud Papa.

    No, that was during my Drum Corps Dark Ages when I was pretty much tuned out. I really wasn't a Born Again fan until the 2000's. Those are some pretty good credentials. Thanks.

    I really don't even know who he is or what he's accomplished, but sounds like he was a good guy to have lead the program. What's he doing now?
  7. OldSnareDrummer
    Sure do remember Murphysboro. It was in mid September,, last show of the year. We won one year.

    Question from a dumb drummer - How does this all reconcile with corps marching and recruiting all of these talented music majors? "Ok, we're going to let you show off your musical talents for 6 min of this 12 min show. The other 6 you'll be running to your dots, prancing and dancing around the field. and push around props"

    Wonder if he's from BDC? @Richard Lesher (young son is in BDC) indicated this kid was the 3rd best guitarist in the entire BD organization.

    Pffft. Any drummer can play with the hands. You want to impress me, do some 32nd note paradiddles at 160BPM using the toes.

    It's a world gone mad, eh Mom?

    Funniest book you'll ever read.

    Here's a guard question. Something I didn't even notice until Saturday. SCV goes for what seems like and probably is, 5 full minutes with no flags whatsoever. They dance and roll around some, but no silks at all going on. For a propless corps that looks already looks small (to me anyway) on the field, how can they visually get away with that? That's got to be costing them, no? That's nearly half of the whole show.
  14. OldSnareDrummer
    I get that. Guess I should have clarified, I wouldn't have a problem if some corps did (yes, tactfully of course) And heaven help us the day corps do sing the entire show. That's when I find a new hobby.
  15. OldSnareDrummer
    You can sing on the field, drummers dut dut dut all day long. Why not guard counting?
