This is very exciting. When you consider what last year's corps was able to do with a lot of rookies, I like the prospects of what it can do with this many vets. Watch out.

liebot Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 That's more vets in the hornline than they've had in the whole corps the past two years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRASSO Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 (edited) That's more vets in the hornline than they've had in the whole corps the past two years. the poster above said that The Crossmen have " 42 returning horn vets ". Your follow up comment to that is " That's more vets ( 42 ) in the hornline than they've had in the whole corps the past two years ". You might want to either rephrase your comments or recheck your facts, as there is no way in the world that this comment is remotely close to being accurate.

The number of vets in the hornline for the 2009 (42) is more than the number of vets they have had in the entire corps for either the 2007 or 2008 seasons. Yes, that is correct. Edit: So I just did some fact-checking. I should say that the number of vets in the hornline for the 2009 season is roughly equal to the number of vets in the corps for either the 2007 or 2008 seasons.

Yes, that is correct. This IS very accurate. And the fact that there are 19 coming back in the percussion section is almost unheard of for the Crossmen...well since 2004 anyway. All 9 snares are vets this year in fact. I think they even have some 07 vets returning for 09 who didn't march 08 in some sections. Very promising season indeed.
