Staxrocks93 Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Saw the corps for the first time last night - great corps, great kids, great performance ... After the day they had - planes, trains, and automobiles - pushing the buses, moving all their equipment by hand, no showers, no practice ... and then to perform with that much professionalism was amazing. Getting wrapped up in scoring and placement is foolish in a judged sport. What these kids are learning is much bigger than what place you come in. We are all lucky that kids like these are involved in the activity. Another educated person! Now this is what I am talking about. You can say that again, trains, planes and automobiles.....life's lessons, though at the time you wonder what in the world am I doing here? There is a reason, and you are right....it doesn't matter the place you take, it is the obstacles you face and conquer that make you winners! Pioneer, you should be proud!

They did endure quite a bit yesterday and pulled out one he#@ of a show. There are a couple of great reviews and somebody took awesome pictures as well. I got to see my kids in photos and it was great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The schedule these kids keep is not easy under the best of circumstances, but to have everything go wrong and yet come out and score the highest they have all year shows what these kids are made of. It is my firm belief that 2010, for Pioneer, will be remembered as the year that the turnaround began. Let's hope they keep staff and get a lot of returning veterans for next year. Getting ready to leave for Indianapolis and can't wait for Thursday. Great show last night Pioneer, Get them in Toledo. Better every day.

PioCanada Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Wow, I had no idea that the transportation issues had been that rough. I was talking with Roman last night before the show, and he had said they had a few issues, but he didn't elaborate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warsawstory Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 What were the issues? I hope no one was actually put in harms way. Also, who do I contact about ideas for recruiting? I do have Roman's direct number but he doesn't need more on his plate. Better Every Day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PioCanada Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Your best bet would be to call the office. I think Murray is around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
