Interestingly, this also brings many family matchups; husband/wife, father/daughter, etc. combinations who will be competing against each other. Should be a great time for all.

Mini Corps is alive and well in Massachusetts! Good luck to the Defenders. I know for a fact that they've got some players! My loyalties are mixed. My daughter's playing with Defenders (where I teach and arrange the music) and I'm performing with Mass Brass. If I lose to my daughter, I'll never hear the end of it! A good thing it won't happrn (this year!). "The Saint" Edited August 22, 2008 by standor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your embarassment will be restricted to the all-to-few holiday gatherings. I'm competing against my wife! I'll have to start putting in overtime just to escape; the torment will be continuous; only death will give me relief... and I don't care who's.
