SkyDog Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 (edited) The 5-Time DCA World Champions and penultimate percussion powerhouse... I think you might want to word that differently. Being next to last in percussion isn't something most people would brag about. ;-) Main Entry: pen·ul·ti·mate Pronunciation: pi-'n&l-t&-m&t Function: adjective 1 : next to the last <the penultimate chapter of a book> 2 : of or relating to a penult <a penultimate accent> - pen·ul·ti·mate·ly adverb ...maybe "perennial percussion powerhouse"?

Nope. DCA judging can put down on paper whatever they like. Take a listen to last season. I was proud of that. Coming from nothing in June to playing better than most lines did last season is something I am proud of....scores are just numbers on pages. Check out: www.myspace.com\123brigs for a taste of what last years drum line really sounded like. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrishDish1002 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 and by nothing, he really does mean nothing. The drum line was definitely struggling last Winter/Spring. Our recruiters did their thing and the staff did an amazing job. They're proud of what they did Finals night. and they should be. We all are. First, Fourth, or 72nd place.

cymbal_steve Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Who's teaching the cymbal line this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaraNYC Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 (edited) Pssst...I think the poster's point was not the actual placement from last summer. Rather he's being fussy about Perna's use of the word penultimate. Of course I know better than to quibble with Chris about the use of the english language, him being a lit major and all ;) but I'm assuming he meant definition #2 - of or relating to a penult <a penultimate accent> instead of "next to last". Good luck Chris, I'm sure you are going to have another great line this season when all is said and done!

Peerno Posted January 16, 2006 Author Share Posted January 16, 2006 Who's teaching the cymbal line this year? Tom Case, JR. is teching the cymbal line, and we are using the Hannum approach. Come out to the next camp if you are interested. Cp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cp You tell big man TC that Steve said hi. I helped him out when he was the cymbal tech at Surf. I was the cymbal tech for Bucs the past 3 seasons. Good luck, always love seeing more cymbal lines out there. How's the interest for lids so far? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
