fabulousfm Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 The .3 penalty for Chops was because our warm-up was to long. The percussion took a little "liberty" with the on-fileld warm-up....

muzzicman1 Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 (edited) Home shows are awesome!The wind was ridiculous and had a huge effect on all performances, but again, the midwest seniors are cooking. It was great to add Chops to the DCA-C scenario. Can't wait for the big show in Scranton. (Matt, only your staff and the judges know about the reasons for penalties being assessed. It's on one of the judge's sheets.) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I thoroughly enjoyed this show. It was awesome to see Govies in their home show along with MBI. Chops was way better than I expected, loved their color guard, which did a terrific job considering the wind was pushing us all over the field...lol. Kilties were better than I expected also, AND I have to give their guard a big thumbs up, as they had to fight the elements, yet did a terrific job. MBI will be in the thick of it at Scranton, horns can be louder though, which I expect they will be. It was a good show considering the 1:30 pm start, but all in all a great show Govies!!! Thanks for the memories. Billy Collins Chicago Royalairs 05 Edited July 19, 2005 by muzzicman1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoothy Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Billy, your corps was excellent as well. God Bless the Child is one of my personal favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopBass Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Who cares about scores? A big thanks to Kilties and all who entertained us with the singing! You were thoroughly enjoyed by all, and the shocked faces of some of the younger members of our corps were priceless. I only wish that I had got my camera out sooner, but I had other things on my mind, and palette. Brent, can we change our corps song to one more colorful like the Kilties? But, speaking of scores... how much did we get in penalties for having the drumline & colorguard be six minutes late to the field? ha ha OOPS! I always say "Drums, we're late!", but this time it was true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearing you guys sing it at the finale in Hastings was a goose bump moment! Very cool! See you this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original El Guapo Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Im getting use to the mix corps retreat. I like talking with other people who share the same passion as I. The field at St. Peters was one of the best I have ever marched on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallipygianKing Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Im getting use to the mix corps retreat. I like talking with other people who share the same passion as I. Yes and no. I much prefer the traditional retreat, mostly because we in Chops have our own retreat traditions that we just can't carry out (or pass on to the rookies) very easily. And by "traditions" I mean "being as irreverent as possible without crossing the lines or making too loud of noises". "Duck, duck, gray duck", anyone? :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoothy Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 That's "Duck, duck, goose", Matt. Grey duck is solely a Minnesota mutation of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original El Guapo Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Getting the chance to chat with some Brass sopranos was very cool. Dont get to do that very often. Dont know if I will every get a chance now after they have heard our "corps song"..hehehehehe b**bs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallipygianKing Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 That's "Duck, duck, goose", Matt.Grey duck is solely a Minnesota mutation of the game. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And Chops is from Minnesota. So it's fitting. And saying "goose" isn't as fun as saying "gray duck" anyway. We did get to play on the parade route in Robbinsdale, though. Slow parade, that one was.
