Powder Springs is in the Eastern time zone right?
Also, someone posted in a review of last night's show that the trumpet soloist in Spirit's ballad fracked his solo and had an ulcer inside his mouth.
Has anyone heard anything about this?
NASCAR, Bud, and Drumcorps do go together.
In 2003 Spirit sold newspapers as a fundraiser in the campgrounds at the Talledega (sp?) NASCAR race. We literally waded through mud and beer can pyramids to try to sell $1 Sunday newspapers to drunks for $3 who refused to believe that it was a fund raiser and thought we were ripping them off.
I'll never forget some of the things I saw there.
I don't think they've done that since then.
You make a great point. With this show and other movie/themed shows.
I too, have not seen the Godfather movies but I plan to before I see BD this year.
I can't believe no one has mentioned this.
9 people have voted in favor of banning ALL wind instruments.
That would include banning trumpets, melophones, baritones, euphoniums, and tubas. Yes, drumcorps would be amazing with no wind instruments.
Does anyone have a friend in the stands tonight to phone in some scores or do we have to wait on DCI tonight as well?
With all the talk recently about people going to this show we should have some insiders.

A friend of mine in Spirit just called from the bus on the way to the show. He said the corps is very excited about the show tonight and can't wait to get on the field.
Good luck guys!
Thanks for the review. The last time I saw them was on Memorial day. That show is going to be great. I think they will make finals as well.
Good luck tonight guys!!!
GO SPIRIT!!
I really believe you would get the same exact quality from the corps. Corps' members/staff push themselves not for the next tenth, but to make the absolute best product that they can. At least that's what my corps did.
