liebot Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 The "You Eat After" comes from back in the day when both Cadets and Crossmen had spring training in the same basic location, except Crossmen had to walk a ways to get from the sleeping area/food truck to get to their rehearsal site. Cadets were closer, and when they saw Crossmen walking back from rehearsal they'd end their rehearsal real fast and run to get in line before Crossmen got there. Not a huge deal, but I can imagine it'd suck eating last every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know with sully, we were lucky if he stopped rehearsal 5 minutes into lunch and didnt talk to us for too long afterwards. I just cant see it happening that often knowing those guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUFreak Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 The last time that the Cadets and Crossmen shared a spring training location was in 2002. At that time the Cadets moved in about a week before we did and had rehearsal fields that were closer to the dorm aka slinky field (but to be perfectly honest I think were in worse shape than what we had up the hill). There were schedules that depicted when each of us would eat, just like there is in any high school where they don't want 260 hungry kids attacking the food truck at the same time. I don't remember who ate first each time but there was always plenty of food so it really didn't matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was always punctual about rehearsal times when he was with Crossmen this year.

He of course was shocked that george would suggest such a crazy idea... :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
la mejor Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Looking at the Crossmen website...they have got a great staff lined up. Surprised no one had said anything about Jaime Oakley going over there. Good luck to Crossmen this season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrumCorpsRadio Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 ...A great, and very young, staff lined up. Coupled with the veteran/experienced members staying on board as designers and consultants, I think it's great to see relative newcomers to the caption head and instructional positions. And most of them are Crossmen alumni as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
