It highlights three classes: • Class I – The nursery, consisting of the Noviciate, the Minerval, and Illuminatus minor. •• Class II – The Masonic grades. The three "blue lodge" grades of Apprentice, Companion, and Master were separated from the higher "Scottish" grades of Scottish Novice and Scottish Knight. ••• Class III – The Mysteries. The lesser mysteries were the grades of Priest and Prince, followed by the greater mysteries in the grades of Mage and King. Its a shame that " The World's Foremost Authority ", the esteemed Professor Irwin Corey, is no longer with us to confirm your analysis, as I believe you have it absolutely correct here. However, to be certain, we might want to ask Larry what he thinks, imo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without any real knowledge of their meaning, I said "BAC'. She rolled her eyes and went back to her sewing table. Hopefully she'll still be working on another quilt Fri. & Sat. night so I can use the big TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you treat that as an anagram, you get 7491, '74 and '91 being two times when Boston played parts of Conquest in their show. Eerie. Now, if you really do your research and look deeper, you'll find that sometime in their history Boston has at one time or another finished 7th and 9th, with 4th being within reach this year. Could they be saying musically they want 4th this year, and then 1st next year? I think so, at least that's the first thing I thought when I heard their show last night and heard those notes. Think about it. Edited August 7, 2018 by wvu80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Ream Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 4 hours ago, craiga said: Wow! Some of you guys are WAY over thinking this. The dots and loud notes are the quarter notes from the Conquest "hits"....the source material for this long-played Boston music is Captain from Castile, a 1947 movie from starring Tyrone Power. The corps has played various versions and snippets of this since the 1960s. It is not Morse code. In fact, many of the BAC members (past and present) have tattoos of these notes. As for the extra "note" at the end, it is there in the original Alfred Newman soundtrack as the first note of the next musical phrase. and makes one hell of a release! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KVG_DC Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 I heard if you play the hits backwards at half speed, the voice of Satan will compel you to murder your parents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a time when people could up-vote or down-vote rather than the current "like", "haha", etc. reactions. So they would have gotten more down-votes than up-votes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
