inbetween Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 I very much enjoyed the small performances between corps at the Indy celebration. I would be interested to see something like that continued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't that be a hoot? (Leave the pitchforks in the barn and hold the 'dinosaur' comments. I'm just kidding...really...mostly.) Love that idea! And can we also add National Squads and penalties for dropped/grounded equipment? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldSnareDrummer Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Love the idea too, but geez, how many judges were even alive during the tick era? Ask a current MM what a tick does to your score and see the response you get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now they also would have to worry about running into props. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironlips Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Folks, I was kidding...really. But it could be fun to give every fan a score sheet and have them tick from their seats, or even judge the current system, then text their numbers to an unofficial scorekeeper who posts them on the big screen. I might go to Indy to see that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok I did all those Sr circuits 🤪 Fun idea thought… Edited January 26, 2022 by JimF-LowBari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the experiments in my chemistry set was getting the mercury out of mercurochrome. The chemistry set also had the "recipe" for balck powder (sulphur ,salt peter and charcoal). In high school we used Mercury in Physics class to study wave motions. Different world. Speaking of "Different World" : its a great song by Bucky Covington . We used mercury from broken thermometers as a puck for playing hockey using meter-sticks. In my current college lab if a mercury thermometer was broken we would evacuate the building. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
