- Just discovered the network. Pretty cool. Lots of juicy gossip!! I do have a
- question to the people who think that Madison made a mistake with their
- muscial selection. Who did you march with and when?? Did you march Scouts or
- know their staff. I marched in '91 and had a great year. However, I always
- wanted to play some of the older Scouts music. I have a lot of recordings and
- some of my favorite ones are old Scout shows. Ask anyone who has ever marched
- in the corps and they will tell you that they have always wanted to play one
- song(from the past) more than any other. Mine is "Strawberry Soup". Even
- before I marched the staff had wanted to pull out this and other songs for one
- more time. The Scouts may get slammed for playing old tunes and "regressing
- DCI", but mark my words the members of the corps will be having the most fun
- of any other corps on the field. It says something about a show when you have
- members from as far back as '88 and'89 returning to march because of the music.
- As for the "all-knowing" men in green shirts, my History professor put it best
- when he said lots of people in this world are "OFTEN WRONG BUT NEVER IN DOUBT".
- This is my age-out year and I plan on living it to the fullest. So what if
- top 5 is not in the cards this year. I don't march with the Scouts for the
- reason of winning or placing in the top5. This activity was ultimately founded
- on the people sitting in the stands and a good crowd response beats anything
- else. Like I said before, this is only my opinion but I kind of doubt I'm
- alone. Oh, by the way, the Scouts ARE NOT playing "Remembrance" after all.
- They are arranging a new piece.
- I'm interested in getting a response to this article so someone answer if you
- have time. If any Souts alumnae ever make it up to Boone, NC look me up. I
- live at the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity house on King Street.
- Peace
