kevingamin Posted September 3, 2016 Author Share Posted September 3, 2016 Key Poulan has joined me in the box. Unfortunately, he didn't bring a computer and I only brought one with me this year, so Key will be posting from his phone. Have fun, Key!

kevingamin Posted September 3, 2016 Author Share Posted September 3, 2016 10 brass, 6 marching percussion, 7 pit, and one drum major. I'll get a guard count once they're all visible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted September 3, 2016 Author Share Posted September 3, 2016 Half the guard has changed to flowing emerald dresses. The drum major appears to have stolen David Bruni's jacket from 2010. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
