BRASSO Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 " Most people tell us they have their best dreams at night when they are fast asleep. But for the very few, they tell us they have their very best dreams during the day, when they are wide awake. Oh what wondrous dreams these dreams are. ".................

BAC91 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 6 hours ago, LabMaster said: Volunteering for Boston would be greatly appreciated and that appreciation is not limited to Boston. ALL of these organizations rely on volunteers and with corps touring with such large members and staffs, many volunteers are sorely needed to help in so many areas. I liken the task sharing to what is done on an aircraft carrier. Although I did not serve on one, I realized the crew of an aircraft carrier is huge and with many people doing small specific tasks, the tasks done are executed efficiently and effectively. For a corps, it works the same way and helps reduce volunteer burnout. Whether you volunteer for a season, partial season, off season or for a day, it is all appreciated. Take tickets at their home show, be on gate control, help park cars and busses, sell 50/50 tickets. Any skills you can offer? Former members and other former corps members have help put equipment trucks and food trailers together. They have electricians, carpenters, painters, computer savvy folks. It goes on and on. Anything, literally anything, helps. And best of all, you might get to know the kids and they will amaze you. One thing I always hear about Boston's MM's is "they are so nice" and I suspect this is true in all corps. So meet the kids, staff and other volunteers and enjoy the summer of your life. Next best thing to marching. So don't be afraid, go ahead and ask. The corps and you will be happy you did. As a volunteer since '93, I can say the BAMs are awesome! So are the male volunteers. BAC welcomes everybody. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call me crazy, but that is a fairly bright tempo there. And I think there are other sections they are faster. Maybe we are all somewhat desensitized to fast drill moves where fast doesn't seem fast so much. Like rifles and sabers tossing 8's and 9's. Or lengthy triple tonguing passages. It's no big deal these days. Well, for some. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's easy to be fooled into thinking a corps isn't moving very fast when viewed from that perspective. But crossing 20 yards in 4-5 seconds isn't a joke 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like watching hockey from the nosebleeds. You don't realize how fast the skaters are moving. Get down to ice level and it's a whole different story. That little snippet had Boston moving about 180 bpm I believe. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
