It was fantastic. And way back when my younger sister was still marching in our (very competitive) HS band they won ACC's only to get back to the busses and find out someone let air out of most the tires. 😞 Wow. That’s some serious band stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wouldn’t let the band compete because we had kids who needed help with self confidence. He knew if we competed those kids would catch crap for their non-talent. “Do you think other band members would give them crap “. “Not the other kids... the ### #### band parents!”. (Yeah he swore too and chain smoked like a chimney) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A NJ show with Cadets, SCV, and what turned out to be the best 12th-place show I've ever seen (Sky Ryders). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved so many shows that year - Regiment for example with that winter in white rebuilding show. VK was a blast, Sky Ryders, Cavaliers, etc etc etc... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
