Jeff Ream Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 Sun had some of that B.S. going on at various times in their history, too. I shared some stuff with Ben in a PM. That crapola is never helpful, ever. No. it caused me to walk out of a friends wedding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaminbenb Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Well as I've said a couple times...and thank GOD for people like Skee pulling me aside one time and having this conversation with me early on...the fact that people move on should not be a catalyst for hatred, there shouldn't be shame in LIKING another corps. Skee made no bones about it that he was an old Skyliner fan (and case in point he's marching with their alums) Over the years people that have left a corps for one reason or another and moved on to another one never bugged me..but I've sure seen my share (apart from my own) of people getting chastised for it... IIRC, I think there were even a few that weren't too thrilled with Bobby Gibson and his father coming to Westshore from Rochester..most of the guys I knew were cool with it, but there were a few. I always tried to watch everyone at least once, and always had a few friends in other corps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaminbenb Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 honestly......if the 6 week corps had not gotten so #### faced after Reading, they would have had a better relims run. Talked to a few people in Wildwood this past weekend who were around in 82, and they said "we didn't know how to win, so we panicked" Getting **** faced after the Reading show IS a tradition, though (even in Bucs ) Basically what they told you was correct. We weren't prepared for that year, and our drum line held us back. (Didn't we win horns, but lose everything else? I wish corpsreps had access to the prelims/finals recaps) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaminbenb Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 it is just you on Sicarus now we'd end up Thurstonizing the parts....no single 9 for us...Stauffer and Moyer would shoot me for suggesting it! But truthfully with THAT tune...the leg line shouldn't really be involved until..well..the leg line should tacit! The pit could have a moment in the sun!

I wish corpsreps had access to the prelims/finals recaps) Skyliners took high horns at finals in '82. We (Sun) won drums... we and 'Shore tied for GE... and Hurcs won visual. Hurcs won the Visual trophy... which was the combined execution and Visual GE score. But if you look at the recaps... from what I remember... we (Sun) actually took visual execution, by a small margin over Hurcs. Amazing that a corps that couldn't march to save its life at the beginning of that season came all the way back to march really well by championships. We worked our butts off that summer.

Ok...that makes more sense (and it goes without saying that you guys wons drums...frikkin Delucia.... ) And WTF was that "high visual" crap? IIRC, wasn't that some new award that year??? I seem to remember someone making a crack to the affect of it was the "we're giving the Hurcs something until Harvey retires" award... I don't know...something about it sticks in my mind...maybe if I drank a six pack Millers it will come back to me ) (we need a puking emoticon) <----there hows that one (I can't drink donestic commercial beer anymore) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaminbenb Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 sadly history repeated itself with the traitor BS in 98. i'll get there some decade and again 14 years later Just thinking ahead...who's going to "enlighten" us with stories from 84-98? (well 90-something) No one here marched those years, from what I can remember?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Ream Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 Yeah, I don't get why a lot of people don't like it (coughcoughjeffcoughcough) In fact a bunch of people BITD didn't like it...But I always thought it was a neat tune, and we played the crap out of it! (Not to mention "bongo fury" :tongue:/> ) Same with No More Blues in 83. Not a lot of people that that was a great tune, but I liked it. (although I wasn't a fan of the tune for the drum solo..."The Entertainer"...but I GET why it ended up that way given the cluster**** way that drum solo got written. I forget the original tune for it though.) The thing that bugged me was in 81 after we did John Mile's "Music" as an exit the whole year (and did the singing at the beginning of the year until too many judges were going "why bother") The actual "ending" of that song was pretty good...but Larry for some reason thought we were going to get extra GE points at the end of the show if we stuck the tag of Impossible Dream in for finals! (and if I remember correctly we ONLY did it at finals, not prelims) they never should have changed the ending in 81 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Ream Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 Oops. LOL I just remember the horn book... cool brass chart. for what we do, Icarus just moves too slow. It makes Claire's Song seem downright blazing. Now Love for Sale....bring it on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
