ItsOnTheField Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I'm having a really difficult time with this discussion because there are so many differences from group to group and even in different parts of the country. While it would be nice to have definitions all the same...who decides what id "correct" or the best? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pit Kitteh Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 JDI-Junior Drill Instructor=Somebody who thinks that they know everything, but clearly does not. Juck dat gada goosh- Frequently used drum lick that occur at the end of a piece. bag- short for "bag of sh##"-something that sucks. HELP THE PIT!- Roughly translated, this means that a tornado is bearing down on the rehearsal field and it's time to run for our lives because the staff ignored the constant tornado warnings that were issued. This is also probably the only time that the pit will get help from the rest of the corps in quickly moving all pit related flotsam. We also played The Game in 'coats.
