Boof96

We won brass on all three nights in 96. In quarters we were up by .2 over BD. (Brass score was only 10 points back then) Finals night we had a 9.9 and BD had a 9.8

Kirk Gay was the caption head on paper, but Lee Beddis did all of the work from what I can remember.

Your ability to twist peoples words around is amazing. Ever tried a career in politics? I understand what Honor and Loyalty is. I served my country as U.S Marine and I marched in a great Drum Corps that was big on teaching us these values as well. I don't appreciate you implying that the organazation that I was a part of during my Drum Corps experience had no honor or loyalty. All I did was ask what corps director is going to pull a kid aside after the season is over and make him or her do pushups? The idea seems silly to me no matter how mad I would be at the individual. If you disagree..thats great.........but don't bring the Corps I marched with into OUR argument by insinuating that we weren't taught these things. I rarley post on these forums mainly because of people like you that like to mix peoples words around and not only attack them personally, but their Corps that they marched with as well.

You don't have to apologize to me. I had a GREAT Drum Corps experience with a great Corps.

The answer to what? Why some idiots decided to S**t all over America the Beautiful during retreat block? If those guys cared about any of that stuff then they wouldn't have done it in the first place. But what can you do about it? The season is OVER. People go HOME after finals. Your assertion that the corps director is going to have these kids doing pushups in the lot while their families pack their luggage in the car is absurd.

No. That was my serious face.

How are you going to make anyone do pushups after finals? The season is over at that point.

game on!

Bernstein's mass also includes 2 electric guitars, electric bass guitar, and 2 electric keyboards in the original score. Aren't these instruments going to be legal next year?

I am still waiting for an explanation as to why the penalty was rescinded.

that was me. :P

check this one out..

Is there some reason that we can't just have one judge for the pit and one for the battery??

I'm confused. Did someone delete a post saying that people in the army suck and that buglers that play taps do so because they are underachievers?

When I marched Regiment, I drove 1000 miles to Rockford and another 1000 back to Pensacola,Fl where I lived. Actually there were a few of us that made the trip every month. The drive up there was always fun, but on the drive back we were usually exhausted.

I don't think that you will find many people arguing against this point.

You are right. Someone donated a new Euph in 97(Chief played it), so we had 14 Euphs and 6 baris in 97, but in 96 we still had 7 baris.

I think we marched 6 bari's and 14 Euphs, but it's been a while so I may be slighlty off.

No...actually I think corps today are doing much more amazing things than when I marched a decade ago. Example---The demand placed on the kids in the 2006 Regiment show far exceeds anything that was asked of us in the 96 show. The acitivity has progressed and I like it. Pretending that the drill that corps were marching 30-40 years ago has even close to the level of demand that is seen in corps today is really foolish. This isn't a slam on any of the great drum corps from those eras. I am greatful to all of the people that came before me that contributed to the drum and bugle corps activity and have great respect for the time and hard work that was put into making drum corps better. However, I have a hard time understanding why some of the people that marched corps many decades ago can't or won't appreciate the unprecedented level of excellence in many of the DCI corps today. The demand placed on current DCI performers is higher than it's ever been.
