  1. My father-in-law was in the Army Infantry that were sent in to protect the Marines in the Battle of Chosin Reservoir where the temperatures got as low as 36 degrees below zero. About a year before his passing, we were able to get him talking about it by printing info & pictures from the internet. The main thing I remember him telling us is that you had to keep your socks & boots dry. The survivors were called the "Frozen Chosen". Incredible stories. I guess relating to topic, maybe PR could perform some music from wars of this century? πŸ€”
  2. Not sure about Alchemist, but I'm down with Christopher Tin...πŸ˜‚
  3. Not a standstill, but dropped on the FB. I needed this today. (Best audio with great headphones or buds.) Complete with score from Casella:
  4. Speaking of valves & fingerings, we had a HS director of a HBCU style band in our district that one of his tuba students asked about fingering a certain note. He told them, "don't worry about those valves; those are for the college kids. Just lip it". Not sure how true, but it made for a great story at our district meeting. πŸ˜‚ Sidenote @Terri Schehr - Illinois will have their hands full with Moorehead State. We had a former student play there a few years back. Should be a 'barn-burner'. Edit: the Moorehead train derailed with about 5 minutes left. 😁
  5. He'd need a second mortgage for the same 7 beers at Lucas Oil... A few years back, I was sitting beside a intoxicated alumnus of a top 3 "blue" corps & he just wanted to talk to me thru the corps' performances. I was nice, but I had to say, "dude'... πŸ˜‚
  6. I'm sure he is one of the "John Does" named in the lawsuit. In the compliant statement #36, G Hopkins is named as an agent or employee who knew the abuse was about to take place & didn’t do anything to prevent. Not sure what his role was during that time, but I think he was an instructor or maybe assistant director?
  7. I'm down with Crown giving us some 'doom & gloom'. They've given some great material over the years. (Inferno, Relentless, Beast, etc) πŸ’œβ˜‘οΈ
  8. I've played this chart in a '70s R&B horn band for some 18 years. πŸ˜‚
  9. I thought it might be another 'heart' show... (i.e. Madison '18) 😳
  10. Maybe we should start a 'change.org' to reinstate Poppycock. πŸ˜†
  11. That 4th movement & then, Canto. Hard to rank my favorite shows, but 2010 was in my top three. May be number one. Thx! πŸ’”πŸ–€β€οΈ
  12. βœ… She has a new job as an investigative reporter for USA Today with a much broader purview. https://www.usatoday.com/staff/2646173001/tricia-l-nadolny/
  13. Wow! Looks like an entirely new stadium since I attended. Awesome!
  14. Last time I was at Mt SAC, they had these old wooden bleachers. Careful wearing shorts & splinters. 😁
  15. You had me at "easy access to the restrooms". Sitting in the Lucas Oil "blast zone", I'm thinking about taking a bedpan or wearing an adult diaper in August. Or maybe one of those auto johns. πŸ˜‚
  16. "That's what she said (or asked)." Sorry; reverted back to my college days... πŸ˜‡
  17. Yup; fast forwarded to the virtuosic ending. πŸ˜‚
  18. "Play That Country Tuba". Why is it that I've never heard this tune? So much potential for the Troopers or other daring corps? Wonder how @Hook'emCavies would feel about a Cavies production? 🀠🫒
  19. Yes, I think you’re right! But I guess Cavies would still be a β€œback to back”? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸ‘€πŸ˜‚βœ…
