Dave_G Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 They once scored a 19.9 in brass... just to feel what mediocrity was like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CitBos Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Lucas Oil Stadium's roof opens just for them.They use marching CLEATS because their drill is so fast. The play drums so hard, their heads aren't made of kevlar, but of STEEL. Their Quarterfinals performance is broadcast PERFECTLY in 1080p and 7.1 Surround Sound. Each brass player can play soprano, mellophone, euphonium, french horn, baritone and contra... SIMULTANEOUSLY. Their pit plays four-mallet passages, with one mallet. Phantom Regiment stole the wedge/leg-kick from them, but have yet to master the final part: LEVITATION. Their company fronts step over the guard members, but the guard is in columns of 10. They won DCI using narration. ...while the guard is laying the long way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGarrett Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 They get a completely new uniform... in a completely different style and look from the last one... for every show. Cities and towns they pass through as they travel beg them to stop and practice there... There is a waiting list for any members willing to be reproductive volunteers... Great Chefs from around the world come to cook for them in their mobile chuck wagons... for free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
year1buick Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Cities make up holidays just so they'll march in their parades. Field turf is greener after their rehearsals. School boards sue each other just for the right to host them. Their laundry washes itself. Composers pay them to play their music. They are...the most interesting corps in the world.

CoHmempho04 Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 They won DCI using narration. that's just crazy talk.... If you did that on purpose. That was hilarious. :thumbup: The rain did NOT cause the "flood in 2006 at the Georgia Dome" They were playing outside (IN THE RAIN) and it tore a hole in the roof.

EuphD09 Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 They decided to take the summer off one year to be fair to the other corps...and their B corps won WC finals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Western Burger Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 They change uniforms in between movements, but nobody knows where or how they do it. Standard guard equipment? 10 foot poles in each hand. Their drum major conducts on the front and back sideline at the same time. Brandt Crocker once burst into tears announcing their program title. They occasionally perform without the front ensemble, and use their marching marimba and marching tam tam instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markdewine Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 The Drum Major can march in 4/4 while conducting 12/8 with his left hand, and 7/8 with his right hand while the horns perfom in 3/4 and the percussion in 5/4. (Unfortunately, this makes him look like a spastic epileptic hunchback with MS.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitcorps Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 (edited) Its ok for the marchers to listen forward to the pit. Their only tie came from playing a 105 minute show. They received first place. 7 times that night. The dr. beat listens to them for tempo. Edited November 9, 2009 by pitcorps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommytimp Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 They don't march in any tempo. Time stands still for them. The left a shoe factory on the field at Finals retreat last year. No one knows who their director is or what he looks like, because to make himself known on the material plane might cause the universe to tear apart.
