Actually I love SCV. I am a BD Honk, but I love and support all my Cali corps. When SCV won in 2018, I was happy cause the title was staying in California. When my son makes the jump to world class next year, I will be happy and 100% support him in wherever he goes. At the end of the day, he is the one marching, it's his goals, his dreams, I will never tell him (or his big sister) what or where they should go or do for my personal agenda. When it comes to my kids happiness in being able to go do they want to do, my fandom takes a backseat. I just want him to find a corps that he is comfortable and happy with, that meets the expectations and goals he has set for himself. That's what's most important to me. At the moment he loves Gold and is having a blast. He loves the staff, the members and culture. Doesn't get any better than that. 11 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chasing a ring is great and there's nothing wrong with it. Growing as a person and performer and going out there and having fun though...that's the part you remember forever. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in the back of your head that 10 years after he ages-out you & he can talk trash about the other's Corps. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if you are a football fan or not, but Landon Collins who is currently a Safety for the Washington Commanders in the NFL, I remember when he made his college choice on ESPN back in 2011-2012 timeframe. Landon was from Louisiana, and his entire family to include his mom was LSU fans. Alabama and LSU were the deciding factor as to where he would go. Landon chose Alabama. His mom was sitting next to him and got ###### he wasn't going to LSU. She made some comments and had a serious attitude problem the rest of the segment. I remember watching and feeling bad for Landon. It was his choice to go where he thought he could succeed the best, and i felt his mom took that away from him by letting her fandom and her personal feelings upstage her son's proudest accomplishment. That moment wasn't about her, it was about Landon. Yes as the parent she played a huge role in his success to that point, but again it was Landon's decision and his moment. I remembered thinking at the time, I would never do that to my kids. Which is why i think the way i do now regarding my son and where he chooses to march. Seeing what Landon Collins' mom did to him on national tv made me realize that's not the way I want to act if faced with a similar situation with my kids. Some may disagree, and I respect what they think, but that's my feelings and opinion. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a degree of success on the field, but what has come out concerning behind-the-scenes behavior by some staff and student athletes is disturbing. We'll see how the Washington Commies do this year. They didn't take my suggestion for a new name - The Washington Seconds. As in the second best NFL team that plays its home games in Maryland.

He's good with a California corps; I wanna see his kid go to Cavaliers or Crown! That'll make Chief's head explode! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
