With all due respect, as section leader with basically zero percussion staff on tour, I feel that our entirely new snare line and the rest of the battery held their own quite well with Fred's percussion book. I once saw some recaps on soundmachine or elsewhere indicating that percussion in prelims recap was in the middle of the pack.

1962 Garfield Cadets : "Le Regiment de Sambre et Meuse" (Off the Line):

Living here in Denver, I'm excited to see Troopers and Boston in Cheyenne and then the first head-heads of Troopers vs. Blue Knights & Boston vs. Blue Devils the following day in Ft. Collins. I volunteer for Blue Knights each year working the corps entrance tunnel. I love interacting with staff and seeing the rookie kids faces each year.

Sounds like Michael Cesario will make top 12.

I think we call this WGI.

I've slept in stadium bleachers under the stars with my sleeping bag while on tour BITD.

Yes, Mike. Bob & I did a sort of late "open flam" to Froggy's 1/2 note triplet the judges would tick until he changed it later in the season to unison after giving up on explaining to the judges. The marching timpani book is what stands out most to me right now. I believe the Shriners show was our best performance and audio recording that season. I remember that a lot of the book got "hosed" for nationals.

That was me in 1971 thanks to George Tuthill and the thrill of a great tour schedule.

As long as they use Ken Norman's MacConnachy Square charts, I'm okay with that.

Houston Oilers = Tennessee Titans? Delaware Crossmen = San Antonio ?

"Never put your own money in the show!": The Producers

Probably because BD usually scrubs all BD Flomarching in YouTube but leaves Victory lap performance and/or their own headcam multicam. This was my first high-cam only viewing of BD 2017.

A squad of plates wearing Bob Dylan style "harmonica neck braces".

Professionals carry a variety of harmonicas for different keys, octave ranges, etc. I suppose each will be miced-up for amplification in the pit or out on platforms. Harmonica company endorsement ads will air during FloMarching.

So, I just watched The Hateful 8. (Source music). I don't see this storyline translating well to general audiences.

2023 Production : "The Zone: Part 2" by The EERIE Cadets.?

This sounds more like crossed sabers and hurricane storms to me. Oh well. Stan Kenton moved from NY Kingsmen to Muchachos to Madison. Appalachian Spring and Young Person's got a reboot in Garfield so no brands are sacred.

Back to the Bible with Jonah as a follow up to David & Goliath?

This group of 8th-12th grade kids kicks butt in execution.

So now, 3 minutes of dancing to synth track before we pick up our instruments followed by 5 minutes of brass playing minus 2 minutes of battery features?

I'll raise you a St. Catherine's Queensmen please.

Why would Cadets ever find this acceptable?

But tech staff, health staff, food staff could share busses with corps member like BITD and eliminate the need for RVs, staff vans, staff van Drivers (who also eat food), etc.

My votes: #1. Yes #2. No #3. Yes #4. No #5. Yes #6. Yes (Perhaps a poll savvy poster could post individual Yes/No polls for each proposal?)

So did the "Colors!" narration show in 2004. LOL!
