Liahona Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I do not understand. It was a JOKE..nothing to get... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 (edited) Personally, no apology will be forthcoming from me. I was simply attempting to answer a question as posed. I was of the belief that doing so was still allowed in the United States of America. As for best wishes for BAC...I'm sure that both Ghost and Liahona (among others) will attest to the fact that I have become a rather huge fan of the Crusaders. As such, I am incredibly excited about their prospects for 2016. But, we know your heart is still in Casper, WY HT. As for tonight's scores compared to previous years, scoring sheets, etc. sometimes it might come down to how mm of any corps handle the jitters the first couple of shows, especially when the Oil Can is your first performance.

BRASSO Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 (edited) But, we know your heart is still in Casper, WY HT. As for tonight's scores compared to previous years, scoring sheets, etc. sometimes it might come down to how mm of any corps handle the jitters the first couple of shows, especially when the Oil Can is your first performance. Or... more likely.... with the first look of the season... judges go conservative and use last season's placements as their benchmark for their 1st show's placements and scores.

craiga Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I chatted with several corps members online a short time ago. They are beyond excited. I think the vets who have been around a bit know what they have this year. Since I haven't seen anyone else, I have no predictions about tonight, but it would not be shocking to me of they end up somewhere mid-pack among this particular group. It's an experienced judging panel tonight, so if the kids throw down, who knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think with the staff they have they should have had a few good days this week and made what looked great Saturday night, be even better. I can't imagine them not starting out much stronger than last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craiga Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I agree. Brian Murphy is with the corps right now, and Chris Holland flew out this afternoon. The kids are in great hands! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a large portion of my drum corps heart is in Casper, Ghost. But as per our extensive, one-day conversation last summer, you know that my true heart is, always was, and always will be in New England...and more specifically, in Boston. Can't deny the genetics, after all. And besides...though I've never been considered to be a big-hearted person, there's still plenty to go around.
