IllianaLancerContra Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Maybe Fiddler on the Roof? Or maybe a show about dogs including ‘Bingo (was his name-o)’ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Ream Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 i'll be very curious to see if they pick up where they left off in 2022. luckily, being able to hold numbers shouldn't hurt them with the early performance times they'll deal with til San Antonio if they deserve the placement 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure it will matter. I went to TOC shows where BD went on first in the daylight and it didn’t matter. They still won the shows. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But reading Reddit it seems many potential members were skeptical about their ability to field (& I’m not 100% sure they are out of woods yet, but the trees are much less dense) and auditioned elsewhere. So, talent level top-to-bottom may not be what it was in 2022. And we’ll see what top staff can do with the members they have. Philosophical question- Is it better to have a standard that potentially members need to meet, even if that means a smaller Corps (say 100 members); or do you lower standards so you can march a full Corps?

I think a lot of talented musicians and auxiliary are very interested in bringing the corps back to top 5 status. Can't wait to see what their show will be. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You march a full corps and TEACH what you need to win. You have so much practice time for so little shows that go on late in the years. There are no excuses to being able to get a great show on the field. Edited January 13 by Mello Dude 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg_orangecounty Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Desperate times call for desperate measures. Might be a good year to dust-off bottle dance to help restore momentum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
