ugh here we go. If Dan and the gang (much better then Kool and the gang btw) shows up then it would be difficult for me not to be there. FYI....if you are ever with Dan and you stop by a Del Taco....do not....i repeat...do not....order the Big Fat Tacos. You've been warned

I find it absolutely hilarious that Lee got attacked for adding a link to a movie he produced on his signature. Lee, i guess you're only supposed to add all drum coprs related things, as well as every freakin hs band and girls bell corps you've ever even thought about writing parts for, to your sig. Seriously, if i had produced a movie you can be ###### sure i would freakin promote it. Why do people hate you so much Lee? Take a shower, see if that helps.

Jeff Ream for President!!!!!

Can we please stop talking about the ###### penalty. If not can we at least agree to stop trying to compare one to another. There is no conspiracy theory. Our guys stepped over a line a couple times. Someone from Bush turned the wrong way last year. Who cares. We had a great time performing and i am sure everyone else who has ever gotten a penalty did too. Congrats to all corps for living through the conditions this year. Can't wait to hopefully have a drier show next year. Now i must go work all this alcohol out of my system from the week of finals.

Geoff, i do believe at some point we were talking right outside of everyones hotel room. he he

Good times...Good times

Agreed ^0^ Good luck in your meeting this week my friend.

I am indeed alive and well. Thanks everyone who emailed me for your concern. Renegades i posted a long drawn out message on our forum. Again thanks much for caring, everything is ok. Now back to your regularly scheduled program.

Thank Ye!! And I was sworn to secrecy so i cannot tell you what the show is, unless of course there is money or alcohol or a combination of the two involved, then all bets are off. ^0^

I know what it is...I know I know!!!! Pick me!!!! Pick me!!!!

Not really sure about the tempo, although i am sure it was 200+, but SCV 91 was mighty quick for pretty much the whole closer. If i remember correctly it was definitely over 200 bpm's. Good times.

He put us in 6th. That's frickin classic. #### if we get 6th again that will be 3 in a row. 666. How much more Evil can we get? he he ^0^ **counting the minutes till i get on the plane!!!**

Calvin, dude, no hype needed. Remember, all you need to know is when to get on the bus (or plane) and when to kick ###!

For me the one i witnessed was 92 cadets. As i said in another thread, they were an absolute mess in Allentown that year, and got like 5th or 6th at preview. By then end they were challenging for the title and putting out one #### of a show.

Asolutely loved this show. I remember the first time we actually got to see them that year was Allentown if memory serves. They were, for lack of a better term, a frickin mess. I was watching the drumline warm-up, and they were breaking on music. Staff was yelling. Kids were getting frustrated with each other. They were just in disarray. Saw the show that night and wasn't all that impressed. Then i saw them @ semi's and was blown away. Talk about turning around your season. I will not say they should have won, but if they had i would not have complained.

I am in TOTAL agreement on that one. Especially in the 90's. I know at the time some hated it, but i specifically remember 93. Everytime i saw them that year i was amazed by their closer. From the downbeat to the end, it was awesome. The tension built up throughout, and then the final release was just awe inspiring. Ahhhhhhhh i miss me some star.

OK....who told Jeff about the super stealth new ending of our show? And does anyone know where we can get any lil old ladies or cub scouts? Edited because i can't spell

Some other people beat me to it, but i will chime in here as well. Although i could really have done without the vocalization part, those guys and gals could straight up play. There's a reason that they have won numerous drum titles in recent years. My biggest problem with the show was i would rather have heard them play the stuff they were vocalizing, but let's have no more baseless discussions about them not deserving a drum title.

I will miss you big guy. You will definitely be in our minds for the remainder of the season. Keep your head own. Take care of yourself. See you next year on the field!

Jeff, I voted on the field, but if there is only one judge, i think he/she should definitely be in the stands to get a better ensemble and balance picture.

I voted for 92 only because they MADE me watch them that year. I was always visually drawn to what they were doing every time i saw them that year. In no way do i think that was the best cadets guard ever technically speaking, but if they can keep the attention of this drummer for more then 3 seconds, they did something right. 93 rocked as well. I kind of base my opinions off of shows that i see live, as i believe the videos never do the guard justice. anyway, back to your regularly scheduled postings.

I have been thinking about this, and i believe the guy that stopped may have been correct. If i remember right, Saturday night when they did the pinwheels to play at the crowd, they were centered on the 50. Sunday night with the train wreck happening, they ended up centered on the 40 or 45. Either way, something was definately wrong last night. Ouch, and it was a visual ouch that lasted all performance long. To quote a friend of mine, they were so bad visually that it was "uncomfortable to watch." Especially considering we have come to expect them to be at least adequate visually. Oh well, all i can say is clean clean clean and we'll see come finals.

I kinda liked the new unis. I am a big fan of the old school, "normal" SCV look, but i think the new unis will grow on people. They're a little "different" if you will, but they still look like SCV, and that's all that really matters.

Oh, and FYI, i believe his name is Scott Steward with a d, not a t. Unimportant, but oh well, i'm workin on my post count. :P

Say what you will, but i believe the main reason he didn't march in 94 was karma. He kinda screwed us in 93, so it was only fitting in my opinion that he missed out on the only chance he had at a ring. He was a good friend at one time and a GREAT soloist, there is no doubt about that. I just wish he had spoken to some of his friends a bit before making such a decision. Oh well. Live and learn.
