HornTeacher Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Congratulations, Cru, on your wonderful improvement tonight. I applaud you. And that comes from a life-long Trooper fan. But quality inspires even greater quality. We're coming for you,..as you wlll with us. Competition begets competition. But friendly and mutually-respected rivalries always win out in the end. We respect you...just as I'm sure that your respect us. It's a long road. Hitch up your pants, and get the kneepads on. Let's both carry each other into a finals berth based on our shared desire for greatness. You won tonight...be proud of that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's both carry each other into a finals berth based on our shared desire for greatness. You won tonight...be proud of that. Friendly competition yes. But don't forget tradition. Tonight, those of us in Pittsburgh witnessed the Boston Crusaders drum majors sprint out in front of the Troopers drum major while the majors where entering in retreat for scores. Remember to respect tradiion and that you represent the other 147 members of your drum corps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRASSO Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 (edited) Friendly competition yes. But don't forget tradition. Tonight, those of us in Pittsburgh witnessed the Boston Crusaders drum majors sprint out in front of the Troopers drum major while the majors where entering in retreat for scores. Remember to respect tradiion and that you represent the other 147 members of your drum corps. BAC DM's should realize that a sprint is not needed in these circumstances with the Troopers DM. It would be far better if they learned to crab crawl it instead to their position in line. That should accomplish the same aim instead of the full out sprint. ( oh, just kidding.. the relationship, respect, etc both these 2 Corps have for one another goes back before some of these other DCI Corps Directors, staffers, marchers, could stand and walk, let alone sprint anywhere.)

lumbargleeful Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Caring about drum major salutes, retreat traditions, and odd militaristic values that have little to no bearing on the actual direction of the activity and have no real connection to today's youth..... is ridiculous. If anything, the Troopers DM stuff is a time waster, and one of the reasons why full retreat has gone by the wayside. I'll pass on watching Gabe take 25 minutes to come out on the field with the premise being, "But that's the way we did it in 1976!" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must say.. this was not a very gleeful filled commentary on DCI retreats, lumbargleeful.( lol!) Edited June 25, 2015 by BRASSO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lurk 99.9% of the time, so when I do come out to play, I can be rather salty. That said, you're one of my favorite contributors and definitely someone I follow on here for good discussion. My slight, trolling, aside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
