It is nice to know they had a stage big enough for all the toys AND the ego.

IMO (and of course I am right!! lol) If there was ANY advantage whatsoever (physics, anatomy, etc) derived from playing with an underhand grip on a flat drum, we'd be gripping both sticks underhanded. I prefer for snare lines to use traditional grip, but I'm not afraid to admit it is purely aesthetic.

They would still win easily.

Ugh. People who have a bias are biased.

Let's not argue over Cox and Dix!

LOL. I was countering absurdity with absurdity.

Bucs quad line played more notes in 30 seconds than the combined tenor drum lines of DCI and DCA for the entire decade of 1970.

Old people who use commas instead of periods are funny. :ph34r:

LOL. No. Sorry Sharpie!

2007 Blue Knights. My favourite BK show of this decade.

So corps shouldn't make changes or additions on finals weekend?

I had a nice drive home Monday!

LOL. I love hearing stories like these. I noticed this weekend one of the points on her crown was broken and held on with screws...

I think there is just way more of a "parking lot rock star" culture instilled in percussionists that you don't see with the brass or colour guard. I don't know how else to describe it.

It was the Pledge of Allegiance, and yes, us Canadians had to say it too.

Can you guys get Alexander Keith's anywhere in the US?

I was born in 1981.

The "Gold" shows were 1997-1999.

But what if he had Govies over Grennies by a couple tenths?

They awarded Best Honour Guard, Best Drum Major, and Best Colourguard - all to Hurcs. They did not award Best Percussion (Hurcs) Best Brass (Empire) or High GE (Empire.

I highly doubt you will find anyone from Empire complaining about our rehearsal facilities on Saturday. The popcorn was hot, the drinks were cold, and the seats were more comfortable than the bus...when G.I. JOE was over we left the theater and it had stopped raining. Oh ya, our field was pretty decent too.

Then why not use an underhand grip on the left AND right hand?

I'm afraid you did put words in his mouth, or completely misunderstood the post. You added the words "supposed" and "allowed", not him.
