lindap Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 (edited) Madonna had a great guard! 2 of my favs in 1 day; football and pageantry edit: for 35 years we (drum corps folks) have watched the game and half time. Bob (one of our former corps directors) says to me 'How many snare drums Linda?'. I said 'Too many to count!' and I gave him 2 :thumbup: Edited February 6, 2012 by lindap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimF-LowBari Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 (edited) So guess it would be worth while to watch on the DVR when I get home eh? Last night we went out for my wifes' oh #### 5-0 and saw the pre-game National Anthem and the rest at the resturant. LMAO, TV was 40 feet away thru a plate glass window and couldn't hear any sound. Drum line look great to me though and I'm a horn player. Halftime I was busy getting the in-laws home so no idea what went on except some woman #### close to my age was doing something. And yeah... DVR'ed for some commercials I want to catch. Bue-ler..... Edited February 6, 2012 by JimF-LowBari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCIHasBeen Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Not a football fan...Of either kind...Now that they've started posting all the ad spots on YouTube ahead of the game, I've got no incentive to watch at all (Madonna notwithstanding.)

En929 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I think the Super Bowl is the perfect time to have one of our top drum corps perform a couple of songs for everybody to give exposure to the activity. p.s. I'm sorry. I couldn't help adding this to this thread. It's just my 2 cents lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just my 2 cents lol LOL, NY Daily News had a funny article about the SB halftime shows the last couple of years and lot of it was based on the age of the performers (Springsteen, Madonna, Who, U2, etc, etc). Writers suggestion for 2013 was Wierd Al Yankovitch. ".... Madonna couldn't do Like a Virgin at the SB, at least Al could do Like A Surgeon...". Yeah and Al's getting up there too..... Thinking of youth in a DC made me think of the "age based" article. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollo Tomasi Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 The actual percussion playing was recorded by the Cadets. Per George Hopkins via Facebook: " I betcha I know who pre-recorded the percussion piece with Madonna :-) about a month ago. All was piped in for television and live performance. Great job by all" I'm curious to know if The Cadets had to sign a non-disclosure agreement that permanently forbids them to promote their involvement in prerecording portions for the halftime production. Other groups involved in last nights events had to refrain from disclosing their involvement until shortly before the event, but could eventually announce their participation. If the Cadets did record portions for lsst evening's halftime show, it's sad that they can't take credit for it. It's even sadder that George may have circumvented said agreement with his Facebook antics last evening (posts that now appear to have been removed by the user). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone can correct me if I am wrong but I believe he was center Snare in 2004-2005. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Hop actually say it was the Cadets....or just imply? Maybe he didn't circumvent anything.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
