[Barifonium]

I'll be posting my thoughts periodically, via some of the best seats in the house that no one bothered to show up for for some reason.

Prosperie for Prelims is an absolute treat for every last percussion session performing today. Even the tiniest groups getting to hear his opinion should mean wonders for their members. Honest yet pleasant, absolute class. I don't think there is one judge I love and respect more in this activity than Jeff Prosperie.

My view for today:

[KVG_DC]

Playing the national anthem solo in a nearly empty dome while you know you're being live streamed has to be nerve wracking.

[Eleran]

Alright. In my seat. Let's go!

Ps - love the Lucas Oil cushy seats. Now if only they had built-in phone chargers ...

[DrumManTx]

Ahh!

Was in Central Time.

Gonna go get some breakfast moms and I'll be back.

So our drill designer told us to aim our horns to the "o" in "oil" for the box at prelims/semis in 2011, but in terms of seating, the center is actually below the "L" in Oil.
