I think the term you might be looking for is the use of the triad. The responsibilities of the equipment, movement, and drill at the same time.

while i understand your issue with wgi and not letting you take your pictures, wouldn't the use of the pictures you were taking going against wgi's policy?? just a thought.......

wow... i'm a youngin.... 97 reading....

It was a great weekend! hopefully october 25th will be EVEN BETTER!

i'm just going on the "intertwined" comment.... hurcs show was a a guard show w/ a horns and drums.... bucs was a drum corps show highlighting all sections of the corps.

the corps placement doesn't really have anything to do with the guard placement. i remember back in the late 90's sunrisers had the best color guard around, but as i recall the corps didn't place in the top of the class. it's all about how effective the judge sees the book to be and how well it's handled and performed by the members of the guard. this year was pretty close... bucs had a 19.8 in guard, hurcs had a 19.9.....

anyone know who the judging panel was for this evening?

they were talking about bucs in 2005 took every caption but HONOR GUARD... honor guard doesn't count towards that score..

usually anything that crown has done is FULL of crazy tricks..

they are affiliated w/ a high school, or last i knew they were.. i don't know if they take members outside of the school district...

we do use markers across the front of the floor, but it also is how the floor is folded. i believe it comes out to a large 4 step interval between our markers. for front to back we use seems. but like most said, a lot of forms come from spacial awareness.

i believe the max is 128

everything u have stated could be the cause of it.. i always tell my kids to pull their shoulder blades together when they toss.. it opens up their chest and makes them pull the arm back... u can also have them think about dropping a ball behind their should when they release.. someone had mentioned that in a previous post and i told some kids and it worked. as for the catches.. they need to be slamming their hands into it, but also pull the hands apart on the catch. the side to side helps with the wobbly catches. plus.. if they are not throwing high enough to get the rotations all the way around, they would be scooping the toss in and catching with the hands at 2 different times rather than a solid catch with both hands at the same time... just some pointers.... but it seems like ur eye is working.....

i have heard a couple things about this.. last i heard they were looking at places to hold championships, but they weren't taking independent guards for this year, but possibly in the future....

triple forte is a musical term for a dynamic (of volume) meaning very loud

Bucs: They are what is advertized. Strong horn line one of the best DCA sounds ever. Percussion feature really rocked the crowd. The show design is really a good one, the first 3/4 of their show really flowed. Now if I may say so the last 1/4 of the show had me feeling like I had seen it all before, a bit repetitious. Guard has improved from last year and have some strong features, they can improve once they have their timing better together. Everone is going to have to step up their game to catch the Bucs once again. i didn't have the best seats for the show, but imho bucs guard was the cleanest and most effective color guard out there... only one major issue was at the end of the ballade.....the other guards have talent, but are far more dirtier and not near as musical......

all i know is that indoor is $25.00 if your band doesn't not compete in TOB. so, maybe marching band is $75.00 we've never really had an issue in TIA. it's the closest circuit and keeps our kids costs down which is good for an independent guard. We just tried a MAIN show this year, and will probably return next year.

wow.. TIA $25.00

correct.. the guard should go off the right shoulder of the person carrying the af. the viewer's left. i never put anyone else up there cause we had the position of flags wrong in a parade once and got hollered at by the vfw.

it all depends what your looking for... elite's tend to be more butt heavy. premier, ultimates, and kings tend to be more balanced in the middle of gun....

style plus makes the xabre.....

the butt into the neck area look oddly shapped.. the neck looks really thick..... do they spin differently than the other rifles???????

i'm game for this too.. haha marching drum corps - 7 years teaching drum corps - 3 years teaching high school - 10 years marching indoor guard - 11 years teaching indoor - 7 years wow i look old....

THANK YOU VERY MUCH! someone got to it before i did.. plus.. be on the look out.. i think they will be better this year than last...

best of luck
