Shirley Murphy's and Book Reports.

Colts have a line made up of pretty much all rookies...still looking pretty good though 8 snares- 2 vets 5 tenors (maybe 4)- 1 vet 5 basses- 2 vets 6 cymbals- all came back from last year except one who aged out and her spot was filled with a past vet from 01,02 10 pit- 4 vets

Percussion Community is really a great place. About 95% of the people from the drum club post there now and just recently it is really starting to look like the old drum club.

Yeah, he was awesome. His name is Jeff Lynn and he was also the soloist in 2002. I think he did Blast! after he was done.

Colts...I would say Spirit first, but I'm biased so I say that Spirit and Colts are tied for my favorite. They both kicked ### this past summer.

I actually agree with that. It seems kinda like a waste of time to be doing a 56 minute roll stroll, but I'm not in charge of how they do things. <**>

Trust me you'll be very happy with your decision if you march Colts. I've been in the Colt Cadets for 3 years and will be starting Colts this next summer and I can't think of a better place to be.

Lol...roll strolls. I think Colts' record was 56 minutes in 2002. Ouch.

I don't see Bluecoats moving up any further than Cavies were. Same tech...same results. I wouldn't be surprised though if Cavies made it into the top 3 because of their new two snare techs. I'm looking for Phantom or Cadets to take it...and I want Cavies to move up.

You certainly want it bad enough...that helps a lot.

Another thing that is important is "coachability". One thing that every corps looks for is (if you get re-called to the second camp) how much you improve between the 1st camp and the 2nd camp. If there is something that you have been told to fix and you fix it by the next camp then you're a very good candidate to get the spot. Always be open to what the instructors tell you.

The Colts score was incorrect. It was actually a 69.15. Many websites have this wrong. I was with the corps after the show and that's where I found that out.

Again, I guess the Colts aren't important.

What about Colts?
