TX Suh-nare

I'm amazed at the cleanliness of the show. It's one thing if they just went out there and did a show, but they marched almost perfect drill and paly pretty darn well! Good thing I age out before they get to a decent age, or else I might get replaced by these guys!

It's kind of exciting being a senior. All of the things you think you could do better than the class before you, you have a chance to correct them. I'm also excited that bnd camp finally ended. I never was the biggest band camp fan (especially when it meant 8 to 8s for three weeks), but I just felt like I was on tour hangover or something. As soon as I got home, I ws in band camp 8 to 8s nine hours later. Right now, I'm on "GIVE ME A BREAK" mode. Oh well, no rest for the weary.

Word going around during tour (back when Academy was making 7th place in the rankings) was they could be the next Star of Indiana, the corps that just ws good all the time. The hornline did have problems, And their drum book especially seemed like it could have had more "beef" if you will (especially if you have future Hall of Famer Glen Crosby teaching you), but there was a lot of good in that show, and they defidently had a swagger about them that set them apart from the other corps nearby them. Whether or not they rock finals as the 2nd generation Star is to be determined later. What you can expect is a corps that should (in my opinion) break top 6 by 2012. Or, in my fantasy world, get silver to the TROOPERS!!! HAHAHA! I wish!

Another question. I heard that good 'ol Bones made a guest appearance somewhere in the show, but I never got to see it. Is this true?

haha, thanks for the support!

I gotta warn you though, whoever runs that DCI one took three weeks to answer my friend request...and they don't have a lot of good stuff on the music player.

Hope so, I've got Troopers training camp, and I don't want it to suck... (Seriously) How cold will it be in Cheyenne this wwekend?

Oh shut your freaking mouth!

I know we've killed this topic a couple of times, but I've got a good one now... If you found DCI's AND BOA's official Mypace pages

Someone please translate that from Ebonics please... What's worse...peeing in a trombone, or on a trombone player?

Jared from Subway=what happened to that guy?

dread=locks

Depends...do you count your thumb as a finger? If so....42. How many licks of a trumpeter's mouthpiece does it take to end up in Methodist Hospital's ICU?

What's the problem with Reliant Staduim? Isn't it the newest NFL Stadium to date? Besides, this would bring in more revenue than an entire collection of Houston Texans Season Passes.

What's the crappiest suburb of Dallas? (haha, H-Town all the way!) Because Brad Lidge sucks.

Snares are ALWAYS before tenors...usually because the tenor line is off feeling each other anyway, so there's no conflict.

One thing also is health problems. Noone really knows or talks about it, but 40-45 lns of tenor action is genocide on your back. If the average person crries 25% of their body weight on their back can ruin their back before adulthood. One report recommends 150 lb people shouldn't hold more than 22 1/2 lbs on weight with their back. http://www.icpa4kids.org/research/articles...ewsletter-2.htm Here's the site. It's designed for backpacks, but any marching instrument could easily apply.

Q: What? A: Because tubas are unloved and highly underappreciated.

Amen to that, brother. Thou shalt not give credit to thy band on ANY forum or public setting Thou shalt not degrade another band in any forum or public setting Thou shalt obey seniority first, then sectionority second (lead tpts go before 3rd parts, drumline goes to front of the food lines...you know the drill)

That's about as clear sign of the apocolypse as I've ever seen.

She's been trying to forget about us...

It sounds kinda stupid, but it also seems some people can't shake off the Europe bug, even though the trip is cancelled. I'm not a superstitious guy, but Europe does things to corps, like the Blue Devils or Glassmen (like makes them make crappy shows). It just seems like the Cavies are doing a Europe-tailored show for an all-American audience. Looking at the prior experience, that never turns out that well.

Who doesn't? Which is cooler, St. Patty's Day or Memorial Day?

TTR: What the crap does "TTR" mean?

I wouldn't know. I've slept through most of it. Does anyone think 300 is NOT the greatest movie ever? (If so, then I will fight you. )
