"Big Pookie" on the bass drum! 😂

Interesting 🤔

With majorette batons? (Rickey Smiley @3:52 - love this guy)

Some interesting stats shared by a friend. These are nuggets that could have been used by the tv host. Look at you Ohio; I guess the Ohio State won after all. 👀😁 Band Directors Marching Band Stats 900+ Applications 415 Directors Selected 7,000 + Teaching Years 96 Directors with 30+ Years Experience 49 years - Director with Most Experience still teaching 77 years old - Oldest Marcher 61 Directors from Ohio - Most from 1 state Farthest North - Alaska Farthest South - Hawaii Farthest West - Hawaii Farthest East - Maine 1 Director teaching in Japan 1 Director teaching in Bermuda 1 Director teaching in Mexico

Ok, I'll play. These guys are just really 'insanely' good... (best to wear quality ear buds/headphones)

Yup; I know their new equipment truck is now with The Spartans. Looks like 'as one might say', merger. (See picture in story) Tuition discount for former Southwind members was announced somewhere on social media. https://spartansdbc.org/spartans-drum-and-bugle-corps-launches-the-southwind-legacy-project-to-empower-future-generations-of-musicians-of-both-the-spartans-and-southwind-drum-and-bugle-corps/

Cool! I wonder if he's mastered the foot technique like this guy. Wait...

The 101? 🤔

You Northerners can take your stuffing and, well, "stuff it". Give me that Southern 'redneck' cornbread dressing instead of the wet bread stuff. Kidding; Happy Thanksgiving! (If you care to watch, video starts around :20) 😂

Our local stations use to delay the broadcast 1 hour. Think it's because we're on central time. Not sure, but they have changed back to the live feed. Never really understood why but maybe they thought it was too early for the central zone folks. 🤷‍♂️

Band director group should be behind the Green Giant float. Not sure if he's jolly this morning. ✅

Watching nbc; think it was bumped but it takes a little while to reach Herald Square. I went as a consultant with a group several years ago. Crazy thing is getting up at 1am for the tv rehearsal. Rehearsal is usually around 3am then back to the buses to sleep until breakfast & lineup. It's a brutal schedule for adults. The teenagers might as well just stay up. 😂

I saw it was on Showtime the other day but didn't have time to watch. Is this the movie with the bowling pin scene? 🤔 Going to try to watch it over the holidays.

Though it would be cool as they just 'lassoed the sun'. (Googles lasso past tense.) 😂

Troopers 2024 production: "Dance with the Devil" https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=733012992190384&set=a.359051012919919

Got some friends & colleagues marching. Five total that I know; 2 sousaphones, 1 trombone, 1 quad, & 1 piccolo. One of the sousaphones has been training marching 3 miles per day around their school's track with the horn. The quad did not do any training & said his back is killing him today after starting their rehearsals. (No report on the other two, but the piccolo is probably 'daisy' fresh this evening & smells like Chanel No. 5.) 😂

"The People's Timpanist"! Loved watching & listening to her skills this summer. Her tuning & finesse @10:49 Love the percussion book; "tasty beats"! Incredible on my Dr Dres ✅

Just what my wife states that I need; 'no brains but the ability to learn & form memories'.

The full filing documents maybe available on the link provided in the Reddit post. But I didn’t want to sign up & add another password, etc. I’ve got way too many passwords. 🤷‍♂️😂

In the reddit comments; someone posted images of some documents. https://imgur.com/a/FMTrZJX

Check this from reddit posted by the plaintiff. You have to register on the court site to read documents.

Yes, but they haven't made any public statements to date. From the incident prior to their suspended tour in 2022. DCI is also named in the lawsuit.

The 'pipe snare' in the front ensemble sounds like kevlar & I'm sure it has a second set of snares underneath the batter head.

Awesome! But the male MC's hair is disturbing on several levels. 😂

I have to sit in the blast zone to cover up the ringing in my ears. Wish we had of used hearing protection in the 80s & 90s. I'd stand on the sideline if DCI would allow, but Mr. DiCarlo would probably call for security. I do have some old staff badges. Hey... 🤔🤫 😂
