soccerguy315 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Anyways, during retreat your season is not over. You are on the field, in uniform, in front of a huge audience. You're still performing, and still representing your corps. That doesn't mean you have to be harda##es like Cadets, but keep in mind how your behavior reflects on your corps. And it seems like most members do understand this. I'd say the disastrous retreat in 2008 had something to do with it. Yes, perhaps people would prefer if the Cadets showed up drunk and puking like some other corps... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just an age out who was having fun. In all honesty, you guys take this activity way too seriously if you're going to make an example out of them. How about you call out the bluecoats percussion who were a real problem that night? Drinking before retreat and destroying equipment doesn't sound like a smart idea.

George Dixon Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 It could be as simple as the entire corps saluting the winning corps as they exit the field, just like a traditional military unit passing the reviewing stand (just carry the horns in the left hands). (read GH's facebook post, but don't see how adding a salute as they quickly exit would be a problem, and it would help clear up for the uneducated in the stands that no disrespect was intended). the drum majors did salute!!

c.l. Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I remember Cavies falling all over the place when that happened. I remember seeing pics of BD looking like they had just been punched in the gut ..... weren't they undefeated up until that point? Anything else happen? May have been answered, not sure, or just not care at this point. Cavies beat BD in Allentown the week prior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he made a major infraction or anything like that (he at least wasn't throwing jolly ranchers and giggling like a schoolgirl), though I think it speaks volumes that some people still get hyper-defensive about that retreat even six years on. I don't care what shenanigans a corps gets up to in retreat as long as they keep it inside their ten yards. And yes, BC was at fault that night. I don't mind saying it. At least that hasn't been repeated since. Who gives a ####. He was just chilling out and preparing for his part in immortal. I can name at least one person who gives a ####. Hint: He's in the picture too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skevinp Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 .. Sorry to interrupt the highly positive dialogue, but it looks like Finals VOD is finally up for Live + DVD/Bluray subscribers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
