i agree with the both of you and will not reveal last name either. have not seen him in awhile.

bump

think of Cru, they worked their butts off and yet no one has mentioned them??? prelims for them was a great show and they deserved a finals spot in my imho. looked to me that they made great strides from St john fisher show. they totally were enjoyable. hope this does not keep them from coming out strong next year. they work hard and always have. just because u r small does not mean you are not a force to be reckoned with. GO CRU!!!!

they were great and deserved all the praise they got. drumline awesome, guard great, hornline switching from trumpets to contras wonderful!! They can take me out to the ball game anytime. for their first year i think they should be very very proud of their accomplishments. hope they are a force to be reconned (?) with next year hope they return. breath of fresh air to drum corps. they have freakin' fun out there and it shows. would love to be a member of that organization.

i always loved that quote from George Gobel

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU KEVIN
