Not a standstill, but dropped on the FB. I needed this today. (Best audio with great headphones or buds.) Complete with score from Casella:

Interesting thanks. I was a trombone player who could read music but…. What’s a fingering? 🤔 My first year was a rush job as we reformed and started late. So I still had fingerings marked my second year. Of course the markings were 0, 1, 2 and X (both). 😆

I played French horn in band. He wasn’t a trombone player.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. 😂
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. 😁

A guy next to me drank seven beers in Foxboro in 05. It was none of my business. I did do the math on how much it cost to drink seven crappy beers In that place. He’d ran up quite a tab.
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'... 😂

I would think so. And he who I will not speak name of is likely to be named as a defendant. I wonder if he is one of the John Does in the current case?
2 hours ago, Terri Schehr said:I couldn’t say but as we all know, their stories have been published in the Philadelphia inquirer. Seems like pretty strong footing but I don’t even play a lawyer on tv.
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?

No doom and gloom here. Looking forward to another amazing year by Crown.
I'm down with Crown giving us some 'doom & gloom'. They've given some great material over the years. (Inferno, Relentless, Beast, etc) 💜☑️

Given today's date, I'm reminded of this ###### tune that has been played far too little in drum corps.

intro music to every boys basketball game for four years of pep band.
no thanks.
I graduated in 1988 and you’ve just reignited that earworm.
I've played this chart in a '70s R&B horn band for some 18 years. 😂

That teaser gives me some 2006 vibes.
I thought it might be another 'heart' show... (i.e. Madison '18) 😳

Maybe we should start a 'change.org' to reinstate Poppycock. 😆

Remember Cadets signed a multiple lease/contract with Erie Sports Center. Breaking it will mean another lawsuit.

2010…..Beautiful interpretation of an incredible musical idea.
That 4th movement & then, Canto. Hard to rank my favorite shows, but 2010 was in my top three. May be number one. Thx! 💔🖤❤️

When I reached out to her, I got the impression she was not on the beat anymore. She redirected me to local news outlets.
✅ She has a new job as an investigative reporter for USA Today with a much broader purview.

Also no Rose Bowl this year, instead the show will be at Mt. San Antonio College in Walnut, California.
10 hours ago, Chief Guns said:Wow. So it's just Walnut and San Bernardino in SoCal this year.
Sucks we are losing a show, but some shows are better than no shows.
Excited to go back to Mt. Sac!
Last time I was at Mt SAC, they had these old wooden bleachers. Careful wearing shorts & splinters. 😁

I'll stop complaining about the Stanford show (DCI West). I splurge on the box seats that comes with a BBQ, and I think last year they were $125 or so. Snacks and drinks in the box (nothing amazing, chips and cookies and sodas, but still something), and easy access to the restrooms plus the views from the box with all seats more or less no farther out than the 25yrd.
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. 😂

Question from a brass guy - is #6 the big one or the small one?
"That's what she said (or asked)." Sorry; reverted back to my college days... 😇

Cadets just put out a statement on social media distancing themselves.

"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? 🤠🫢

91 was 3way tie between Cavies, Star, and Vanguard wasn't it?
Yes, I think you’re right! But I guess Cavies would still be a “back to back”? 🤷♂️👀😂✅

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? 🤔
