Congrats, Jeff!! (...or is it Mr. Spanos now?) Jeff's rookie year was my age-out year at Madison! Should be an interesting time in Madison's history. Looking forward to seeing what happens.... Tacco

Sometimes, if you're having issues with the link, it helps to "right-click" your mouse and "save as target" to your desktop. See if that helps you out! Tacco

Check out the Blue Stars' February Camp Video-- HERE, it includes some bits and pieces of this year's show music! Enjoy, Tacco

My apologies! Respectfully, TACCO

Opinion about the context of the rule change aside, I understood the proposal on first viewing to be-- * if the corps chooses to keep the soundboard on the field of competition (boundaries set for marching members), then a member of the corps must operate it. * if the corps choses to place the soundboard outside of the field of competition (between the front barrier and the stands, but not in the stands), then it can be run by a non-member of the corps.

I think it would be cool if all the corps got out to the West Coast a week before final's week and did a bunch of shows up and down the coast!!!!! Tacco

Thanks for the kind words Brent.

Happy New Year to everyone and I certainly hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday Season! The Blue Stars will be holding our 3rd and final audition camp on the weekend of January 20-22, 2006! This camp will, once again, be hosted at Irondale High School in New Brighton, MN and will begin with registration on Friday evening at 6:30pm. Rehearsal starts at 7:30pm on Friday and concludes with a performance at 2:00pm on Sunday that is open to the public! There are still a few spots that we have not offered contracts for, so there is still time if you are interested in being a part of this historic season for the Blue Stars! We will be marching 72 brass and the percussion and guard numbers are still being evaluated to fit under the 135 cut-off! The January Camp promises to be exciting as we set our 2006 membership, meet a few of the design team, dive into more music, and keep enjoying the journey! If you are interested in attending this camp or finding out more about what 2006 holds for the Blue Stars, please visit OUR WEBSITE or contact our corps'director Chad at chad.armbruster@bluestars.org.

In response to the battery-less ballad not being invented prior to 1989. Scout's ballad in 1988 had no battery percussion. Not saying we were first, but it was prior to 1989......just for clarification's sake! :) Tacco

2nd Audition Camp for the 2006 Blue Stars is happening this weekend!! (December 16-18, 2005) It's not too late to be a part of it right now, but one week from today may be a different story! Tacco
