That is incredible - as a Crossmen Dad, that is a great milestone for them - thanks for sharing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was all set to believe scores would reach 120 because you said so. 🙂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stronkulated. Ok -- now conjugate it in all the tenses. On second thought -- please don't! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you play Beethoven and Taylor Swift for 100 people and ask them whom they like best, chances are 99 of them are going to say Taylor Swift. Nothing about the judging sheets should in any way be a popularity contest. What I, as an audience member, might find engaging could be total different from what you, an audience member, find engaging. The moment we start rewarding popularity because the moment we lose all individuality in our corps. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally ruined my night, because show’s today don’t hold a candle to Regiment ‘93. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest tots were on crown, then bluecoats, and now Boston. I think in the next year it will transition to mandarins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
