Cornhusker Summer Music Games 2007

Well, here are the results.

The Cadets — 91.050
Phantom Regiment — 90.100
Santa Clara Vanguard — 87.600
Blue Stars — 80.400
The Academy — 79.350
Troopers — 74.900

It was a good show, overall–much better than Omaha, and not just because the corps were five or so weeks cleaner. It was in Memorial Stadium, home of the Huskers. There are […]

Off to Omaha

Well, not yet.
I am excited for Wednesday, as I’ll be taking in the sights (and wonderful sounds) of the Omaha Summer Music Games in Omaha, NE. Mostly, I’ll just be excited to see Regiment, as I didn’t get to see any corps last summer.
The real excitement will be a little closer to home. Memorial Stadium […]

Pipestone native featured on DCI.org

Pipestone native James Andrzejek is featured on DCI.org’s “Aria” interview today.

Blast!

I suck at updating this thing.
Anyway, I’ve been doing well. Busy, but well. And hopefully now things will calm down a bit — but I know that’s unlikely.
Today was a really good day. Aside from being (basically) the last day of Coyote marching band for the year, we freaking beat North Dakota, 42-30. UND had […]

Randomness and the Regiment

Hello, all.
I feel like I can finally take a breath and relax. This is the first weekend we haven’t had any marching band since the weekend of Pursuit of Excellence, and next weekend is the last weekend we have anything. If the ‘Yotes make the playoffs, they might ask us to do some pep band, […]

Rick Valenzuela Steps Down as Vanguard Director

Press Release
I heard about this yesterday. Wonder if it has anything to do with Vanguard’s placement this year.
Also, I am told that Michael Gaines will be doing drill design for SCV next year — I would guess that means he’s done in Rosemont.
In other news, the Regiment audition app is available for download. I should […]

Gross.

Lords of the Ring

Thanks to MEG for this. This is awesome.
THE LORDS OF THE RING
The world is changed…
I taste it in the purple stuff…
I feel it in the artificial turf…
I smell it in the summer air…
Much that once was, is now lost. For none now live who remember it.
It began with the forging of the great rings […]
