any day your compared to '89, and those buicks, is a good day

or you could get lucky, and get to hold it during a show - I know X-men played pedals as part of their warm-up this year.

Last year everyone at PR had to go out and find a Schilke 51 D, and that's also what I used with my other corps...seems to be a pretty standard one for a lot of corps.

If you get a chance, check out the semi's show, technically speaking it was a better show.

lol would you have it any other way? *meant in the joking friendly sort of way I agree that there's a line, and that it should never be crossed. That said; more power to those that explore the envelope of their instrument.

yeah, the fever line had a lot of heart I played clarinet forever, learned to play snare for drum corps. Well, that didn't work out, so I picked up a bari, and became section leader my rookie year...and my second year. After all that fun, I picked up a euph, and worked my but off to get into a top 5 line to age out. and now I don't get to play anything...but I do get to teach, and that's almost as much fun.

...

...how quickly the tide does turn

practice, don't get nervous, practice, have fun

cadets have euphs?

you have to check out regiment...heck, just released a CD of ballads

are you really asking this? shouldn't have to think twice about it

judge on this tape i just heard seemed to appreciate the efforts of the drumline - he gave them high drums for it

that's what i meant

i think he's referring to the hornline's gloves, which were purple lol, you sit on a bus for hours before quarters with over 20 years of regiment videos' and after a while you pick up on stuff

it was cesario

esspeically when your ankly weight is more than a sop but that's why they make up for it with more notes, it all evens out- we pick our fun

yeah, i love anaheim- got it from a friend that marched g-men forever Blue Star...you have to hype that, we actually got to I think it was the oposite 20 or 25 this year towards the end of everydays Circle drill can be fun too- never underestimate the joys of holding your horn while staying in a slide position you definately come out of basics with higher opinions of yourself and corpsmates at regiment

nothing like trekking big momma with your ankle weight on for a mile or so, good times. lol

my friend lee lost his shoe at the end of our second piece at finals this year, and then did the kick-out at the end with his sock (PR 03) figured he'd teach JD - he only lost his chicken

oops

humbling to see regiment '03 on the lists; not only is it still a very new show, but its being put in some truly elite company

the most painful are the missed releases in PR '93, and '96 - otherwise those shows couldn't be much more perfect to listen to.

loved my Kanstul G Baritone Grande - absolutely gorgeous instrument, and you could tune it no matter what the weather. have to say it was more fun playing that King Bb Euph- part of that was the ensemble...part of it was the fact that it was a euphonium. sweet horns

the euphs that we used aren't up yet, and no marching band will ever buy them, they were beasts. there was a 1st trigger in the dynasty tradition, and a 3rd valve slide. um...they'll be getting new horns for next year that will definately be nicer. they are absolutely huge- we're talking Bb bugles, for lack of a better description. they play in tune on their own quite well, but the at a certain point it was impossible to tune in cold weather -real cold
