Michael Boo Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Hire the best cleaner in the biz - Todd Ryan! And for brass, I'd get Jimmy Elvord out of retirement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tito John Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I blinked a couple of times at the realization that there are only two weeks left. Having a kid in contention makes a lot of difference. :) Time goes fast. Isn't it dangerous to revamp a major part of the show for Indy? As good as the kids are, wouldn't there be a risk in trying to keep two drills in mind in the runup? Or is this often done? There were a couple of comments about the new Cavies finale, which I'll see Sunday morning, I guess. While it's clear the other top corps have cleaned things up and closed the gap with them, did the first two times through a new drill have anything to do with them being elbowed aside at the top?

mckdan Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Troop - Eliminate the tarp. Get rid of all computers, cell phones, digital music players and video games for the last 10 days of the season. Go old school and never leave the practice field except to eat, sleep, and the rare restroom breaks! On the buses the percussion and horns go over every note of the music from the opening phrase to the final cut off! Not a word is to be said on the practice field except for instructor input! We did this in '79 and the results were amazing! GO TROOOOOOOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :thumbup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Coffey Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Okay you've got 2 weeks to get your favorite corps a higher score/placement what would you do? I can't get into specifics without getting into serious trouble vi-a-vis "The Company", but it involves: 1) Wads of cash 2) Large Manila (yes, from the Phillipines) envelopes 3) Ninja couriers 4) And our secret weapon - Louis the Wonder Chimp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Coffey Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 re: your photo. I dated her in college. Let's just say that those diapers she carried around had far different uses back then. Like, for when boyfriend was a bad, bad, BAD little boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griego4m Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Crossmen: Rewrite parts of the drill that are obviously not working, especially in the ballad. Speed up the tempo of the opener and face the stands, not backfield. Work the mellos because they are so far the weakest section of the corp. Speed up the tempo of the closer.
