George Dixon Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 So - as some of you know I've been laying low. I did get a video and call from a friend who was at the camp over the weekend I guess the big thing to share is the brass line is set - and a much more powerful and aggressive book/approach than same time last year My buddy - who marched elsewhere (BD) but is a pretty tough critic - was impressed by the book and the brass. 70 some in attendance. He said it reminded him of the 2007 line in terms of sound/power. I loved that line so when he said that it surprised me. Anyway - that's all I got.

Right. But why? BD performs less and rehearses and rests more because they don't need the performance fees to offset costs. No doubt other corps would manage their schedules more strategically too if they had the option financially. HH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G. your comments match Dans' post and he was at camp Sounds great (pun intended.) How they sound with the feet will be all telling. This is where 2007 shone. PS. After tomorrow, Mardi Gras, I'll be working on some special projects and will not be on for about six weeks. Not a health problem, just something special. See you for Śmigus-dyngus.
