surely you jest!

disagree. he's not the only one incapable. and so i won't get my hands slapped again i won't name names

AMEN brotha!!!

But why? While other corps are "tweeking" their show PR is doing major rewrites to show. This seems to happen a lot lately. Half way through the season, people are being fired, others coming to the rescue. Yes, the show is greatly improved, but it should have been at this point a month ago. And IMO, the music book is full of excessive notes like run on sentences especially toward the end of the show, as if to make the music last longer. It all boils down to staff. Clean house and find a way to hire a first class staff.

i read that some staff members had left or were let go. Do you know who and why?

can't wait to see final endings for BC, BD and SCV

did they change the color of the tarps or is it the angle of the light refllecting off them? Much beeter tonight

i Love that Bluecoats mostly march instead of running around like headless chickens, err i mean scatter drill or whatever they call it.

dead serious.

Boy! CC 2018 Part B was something!. They even added a variation on a theme. This year they stood still, instead of running or marching really fast, played a bunch of really fast notes then blew a real loud whole note. Then they even snuck in a phrase from Phantom of the Opera. How clever. But then the whole last part of the show they decided they wanted to switch to a jazz idiom. What's up with that? And then there's all the phrases and chord progressions from last year. And who knows what the drill is all about.

It is a bit like standing up from your seat and heading to the kitchen for some popcorn. Sort of, anyway. They have dropped food prices .50 per item again. hot dogs $1.50, and drink refills free and all you want at refill stations.

not a single issue on my firefox on my laptop I'm using a macbook pro

Much improved, but the music and design still sucks. Get rid of the uniform change, all the hokey singing and the drum diddy just prior to the brother and sister chorus that sounds like giddy up horsey and it would be a whole lot better. And what is with the guard running around with the helmets?

yes but i'm not sure you are

stuupid

I'm perfectly fine. As they say, in my day that would have cost them the competition. h

Rennick should be reprimanded for his drummers "dut dut duting" so loud that they can be heard over the entire stadium. At this point in the game the timing should be so ingrained in their brains that they could do it in their sleeps. And the same for the battery bouncing up and down like jacks in the box. No excuse. And what in the **** is the drum major for?

Thank you.

NO. I can but I'm not about to open that can of worms, or beat a dead horse again. Read back several pages and you should find the answers to your question. No offense, just don't have the energy.

This whole situation seems so blown out of proportion.

There are a lot of people who agree with you and don't care about scores and placement. There are others, myself included, who think that if the corps ceases to remain relevant to and competitve in today's DCI activity it iis going to suffer severely.

i''m well aware of the storyline and the concept. I still find the storyline, concept and especially the singing hokey and NO it ain't a favorite moment. And while the drill is infinitely better it is still a rehash of parts of shows past. There is certainly nothing innovative about it. It should keep them in the top 12, but barely. I hope in the future to see PR moving forward and not backward. Another thing......those big dark things in the background, are they supposed to be props? There seems to be no interaction with them other than the corps hiding behind them in the first couple minutes of the show. Since PR has yet to figure out that props (I personally hate them) are an integral part of drum corps shows now and has yet to use them to it's advantage, they could be missing out on some much needed general effect points.

they are much improved, though I would not liken this to a comeback or anything near it.

and if they get rid of the hokey brother and sister singing thing at the end it will be much better.

thank you
