I can hear Pete saying-"I would bet on it".

That is interesting-that they are required to go through the repertoires and synopsis of each show that they are judging. I wonder if they often comment on how far a corps has deviated from the original music ? I would guess that if they do, a majority of the time it would be a positive comment-that is part of the genius of some drum corps arrangers and show designers, IMO.

That is a great point. The Visual judge used to go backfield while judging and get a whole different perspective than what we spectators in the stands were getting. Somewhat the same as standing down on the field right in front of a corps. You will see and hear different things from that perspective. But then again, the judges in the stands are getting our view, but they still could be seeing and viewing different things than we are at any given time. They might even hear what we hear but in a different way with their more trained ears.

It is somewhat of a residential neighborhood but there is also a fairgrounds close by.

No, I hear you, but I am just playing a hunch at this point. You might well be right.

Nailed it in my opinion.

I think maybe I heard that he was only 22 when he was hired though ???

That is Blue Knights with the 24 year old Director, and he was till 23 a couple of weeks ago.

I think I have myself convinced that this show will go on, and yes, I have tickets and plan on going.

On top of all of that-Winston-Salem is only a 5-hour bus ride for tomorrow nights show.

Just researched it- it is field turf so no problem there.

They may have changed that for football though, but I am not sure which it is.

Somewhat depends on the field surface-do you know if it is grass or turf ??

That is the same time that Devils went on last night in Murfreesboro-11 P.M. local.

I have 3 in the Friends section (317) for $75 each.

And blasted is the operative word. I was watching and listening with ear buds in when they went to commercial. that was ridiculously loud.

I found that simply switching between the 2 camera options temporarily solved it without completely rebooting.

I always thought playing a brass instruement would probably help longevity, but so many of us had other bad habits that now I am not so sure.

Terri-shouldn't it be more like rest-pah. rest-pah. rest-pah etc., etc. ? I asked a french horn player (when I was in the Army Band-trumpet player) if that had any lasting effect on her. She told me that as we both knew she was married to a tuba player, so they had a great sex life. Think about it. !!

Just my opinion-very typical Blue Knights. My guess-they are heading for 10th or 11th.

So far I have the battle for the medals between BD, Crown, Bloo, SCV, and Boston. I have the battle for 12th between Crossmen, Academy, and Madison but I haven't seen Troopers yet.

If it is 7:30 PM in LA it would be 10:30 PM in NY

Agree with you about Windsor, Ontario. We were staying in Windsor for the old Ypsilanti show years ago. Had a free night so we went down to a bar on the river with outside seating overlooking the Detroit skyline. What a beautiful night-not sure which was better-the Detroit skyline or the Molson beers.

Plus our kids can navigate ramps and stairs while going at breakneck speeds.
