That's the nature of the Open Class beast. Scores fluctuate often. Like somebody else already mentioned, the spread is key.

Just a simple question, what's a good guard to band ratio? What factors go into setting a number going into auditions? Quantity over quality? I would appreciate some insight for this brass guy.

Thanks for this bit of info! Gonna be a scorcher. Looking forward to the show, as always!

I'm rather fond of 2005 Capital Regiment. Evil, creepy, and loud. Loved the music that year.

Great review! Thanks for posting!

That's Andre, the guy can work wonders with hornlines. He'll have them all classically trained before the summer is done. Great teacher. I can't wait to hear the hornline live.

I'll take this as one that sticks out in my mind. For the new millennium, I like '01 Cadets. Every element of that show is taken to the musical limit as far as difficulty. Young Person's Guide had the complex rhythm, Vide Cor Meum requires such control to keep the emotion pushing like they pulled it off, and Farandole at the tempo they took it was insanity. Moondance was fun, not nearly as technical as the others, but the whole package was fantastic in terms of difficulty.

Psst....... We had holes last year too, but, don't tell anyone.

Your sentiments are very much appreciated, oldguard. A very driven and rewarding summer all came full circle come finals.

I was pretty pumped up for the Rose Bowl performance. I know most of us were. Performing in the Rose Bowl was one of our hype's. Then, it got scrapped last second. But, being on the field for finals retreat was pretty amazing.

Memphis is definetly going to make D3 very interesting this year. They got some good stuff brewing.

I think Boston did it in '04.

I know for sure that Memphis is D3 this year.

You can't help but completely crank up Bacchanale at the end. If I had a nickel for every strange look I got at a red light.......
