So I am sitting at the gate waiting to board my flight, and Dan Potter is on my flight, sitting in the next row of seats. 

I should show him the vid of my crazy kid photo bombing and doing the worm behind him at the age out ceremony lol.

Do it.  I bet he'd love that.

My favorite thing is that he starts doing the reverse worm just as Potter says “We look forward to seeing the way you change this world!” 😂😂

I believe there were about 38 ageouts, including a large portion of the snare line. I think that’s actually fewer ageouts than last year and maybe fewer than 2023.

There encouraging as it’s my sense kids who march there often end up wanting to stay rather than go ring chasing. 
 

And while losing a lot of the snares is a thing, retaining the Pulse crew will definitely draw talent to them.

A little late to the game on this, but one of the judges had Mandarins over BD in Music Analysis Quarterfinals night. 

Congrats to the Mandarins! That's the first time in corps history they have beaten BD in any subcaption/caption.
