Was with them most of the day yesterday and it was very apparent that this is a top concern. Not sure if it was learned due to the what happened in Broken Arrow but I am pretty confident that it wont happen again. As a former director I can say it’s easy to forget hydration. I always kept a parent around who made sure water breaks happened regularly. You get so into your head that, before you know it, more time has gone by than you realize. Kids are afraid to say anything, more so afraid of their peers thinking they are weak. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just not sure what the big deal is. They missed one show. So what. It doesn't even really matter what the reason is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRomoter Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 As to the percussion feeling they are letting down the rest of the corps, if you’re reading this I want to remind you that you are among the very best in the entire world. Not being the very best is all in context. Stick with it and make improvements, but remember, you are at a level that most dare not dream of. You have a lot to be proud of for even being selected. We are rooting for you, and placement isn’t the be all end all. All of us love the show, and you are a part of the resurgence of a great and storied organization. SUTA! 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can say at Cadets rehearsal, their drum major often pushes a lot for water breaks which is a great reminder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOneWhoKnows Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 As I said the day of the show that they pulled out, for them to not even do a standstill performance instead, shows that it was a serious problem with the performers and they made the right call. If you're mad about that then you need to reevaluate your life. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s discuss something else. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the ones they have now, but don't fall down the hole of "more cowbell". Lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still not a big fan of tarps but the way the ones revealed so far are being used is pretty brilliant. Maybe its the new expression of Phabric Wedgiment for the 21st century... Heh. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drumhead31 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Actually I think percussion has improved the most of any section since the beginning of the season. The percussion designer posted the drum judge tape from the Olathe show and it was actually a very detailed and positive review of the writing and performance, with some great comments on where things need some work. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
