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. 😁

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'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?

Waiting on the mail-in & absentee ballots.

I'm down with Crown giving us some 'doom & gloom'. They've given some great material over the years. (Inferno, Relentless, Beast, etc) 💜☑️

I've played this chart in a '70s R&B horn band for some 18 years. 😂

I thought it might be another 'heart' show... (i.e. Madison '18) 😳

Thanks for the ear worm... 🧐

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

That 4th movement & then, Canto. Hard to rank my favorite shows, but 2010 was in my top three. May be number one. Thx! 💔🖤❤️

Wow! Looks like an entirely new stadium since I attended. Awesome!

Last time I was at Mt SAC, they had these old wooden bleachers. Careful wearing shorts & splinters. 😁

👀😂

Well, 16 is "a good start"... 😁

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. 😂

"That's what she said (or asked)." Sorry; reverted back to my college days... 😇

👀

Yup; fast forwarded to the virtuosic ending. 😂

"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? 🤠🫢

Yes, I think you’re right! But I guess Cavies would still be a “back to back”? 🤷‍♂️👀😂✅

I think if my source is correct: (back to back only winners; some more than 2x) Blue Devils = 76-77, 83-86, 96-97 Bridgemen = 80-82 Cadets = 87-88, 00-01 Cavaliers = 91-92 SCV = 73-75, 78-79, 16-19

Standstill:

I think I did see the Jackson State "Sonic Boom" backing up Usher. 💥
