Just wondering, does anyone know why Spirit doesn't use Gaines anymore? I thought he wrote for them in 04 and 05?

If I remember correctly from the post at the time, he decided not to come back so he could concentrate more on other things, but I'm not exactly sure.

As for Brubaker, yes, he wrote for the Cavies from the early 80s (not sure of the year, maybe 81 or 82?) through 92. I believe he only wrote the opener in 92 because he was sick at the time. The rest of the show in 92 was Jeff Fiedler, Greg Protlacki (i'm sure I didn't spell that write), and even Michael Gaines making his outdoor drill writing debut!

Basically, without Brubaker, there is no Michael Gaines, Pete Weber, Greg Protlacki, Mitch Rogers, or Jamey Thompson.

how anyone could even consider jamey thompson is beyond me. That's why he's not even there anymore.

this is purely between Gaines and Weber (and maybe a little Sacktig) and Gaines wins.

For as much as I havent liked the past 2 cavies shows as a package, i can still enjoy their drill. Normally, the pit and drum breaks at 10 second intervals kinda bug me, but as far as raw drill goes, i still love what he does. Im especially amazed at his ability to get the instruments in the right place while doing all those kaleidoscopic moves, and its a skill i hope to learn to emulate (at least in part). I give Weber props for probably being the new face of inovation in drill, at least to me. I love sacktig as well, but feel like he was kinda down up till 06. 2007 was really a step in the right direction, and as soon as i saw his drill at spring training, i thought of corps like the cavaliers and scv. He seemed to take the some good concepts from them, while still maintaining the cadets visual identity.
