  1. Glad to hear the Brigs are stil PERFORMING!
  2. Like I said, I very much appreciated ES gesture and respect for the uniformed services and our nation. I know the corps and honor guard meant no disrespect. It was something that bugged me in the moment for which I soon after started the thread (#### iPhone and ready-access internet).
  3. Since I started this thread, I'll explain. I did not take issue with ES use of uniformed personnel in their show. My question stemmed from retreat and the folks in uniform saluting the drumline as it returned to the block. It kinda rubbed me the wrong way in the moment. It runs contrary to military customs and courtesies where only the Colors and officers of higher rank are saluted. The proper thing to do would have been to call the honor guard to attention. They also were positioned in front of the Colors which I also found odd. Thanks for your support.
  4. The Wayne Valley High School Marching Band of Wayne, NJ is looking for an individual to design and instruct a small, relatively novice guard for the coming season. Good stipend and a chance to help rebuild a great guard program. Ideal candidate should be creative with instructional and corps and/or indoor experience. Please email any inquiries to: Nicholas Greeson, Director ngreeson@wayneschools.com
  5. The Wayne Valley HS Marching Band in Wayne, NJ is searching for two percussion instructors for the 2009 season. Performance backgrounds in battery and keyboards preferred. Great opportunity for someone looking to get in to teaching. Interested parties, please email ngreeson@wayneschools.com
  6. Me too Tom. I'll never forget rehearsing at Buc Field late in the season and coming out of the blue room at the end of an ensemble run of the Bartok. I had no idea we were that friekin' LOUD!!!
  7. Apology not necessary. It's our corps family's big night and it was so nice to see a great turnout for the alumni corps. From my vantage point on the 30 you guys were great in throwing down the Old Bucs' standards (just wish I could of heard Sylvia!) From a young Buc, I could be nothing but proud of our alumni!
  8. Joe was one of the first people to welcome me to the hornline in my Bucs rookie year in 2000. This is a fitting tribute to a fine young man whom was loved by those whom he worked and performed with.
  9. darn it<**>, I had a 10-footer with some sweet springboard action... ^0^
  10. I recieved my DVD today, one corps-full package. Price was good. Video and audio were quite good with the exception of a few one-second 'pulls' in the video. The tech stuff in terms of menus, view options (or lack thereof) was disappointing. Decent value for the price paid
  11. Thank God we got the tenth of a point itch scratched this year!
