Not quite sure that that job entails, but most/all of last year's perc staff is returning, so would seem to be a plus. https://cavaliers.org/news-blog/2022/9/25/template-staff-announcement Edited October 22, 2022 by Slingerland 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you practice in the Wildcat Stadium? Or across the street in the park there? Just trying to imagine where y'all woulda been. That's so flippin' cool. Thanks for filling in my HS's legacy in the activity. Means a lot to me! Noice! Wonder who! I was the only one from Texas in the guard for most of the time I marched. Or my memory's failing me which is certainly possible. My memory can be testy from those times, which I why I've worked to corroborate what I can recall with others. Also went to TWU so you're reminding me of lots of wonderful memories in Denton too. 🙂 This guy gets it. 😉 That problem is tough to resolve from the outside. In this particular case, I'm grateful for the small drum corps world. @year1buick is always a delight. Madison stayed/practiced at Lake Highlands for 1991 finals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Frank Troyka was our tour manager.) Regiment also housed there and held a clinic in 92.  It also just dawned on me that I took several biology classes at UNT back in 2004-2006ish with someone who must’ve been one of your section mates at SCV back in the day. (Drum corps is a small world...) To this very day Sky Ryders performances were some of my fondest memories of the early/mid 80's and were part of the reason that I marched DCI. So THANK YHOU 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balance and blend from the box standpoints is also a focus. These types of jobs in drum corps have been around for decades and people like Tom know how to fit all the musical nuances together into the whole. He is in a small group of people in the country that are masters at this job. Edited October 23, 2022 by njthundrrd 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
