- OK, you got it.
-
- In 1982, Spirit did a thing where all the horns got in little circles
- of 6 to 10 players, arms outstretched around the perimeter of the
- circle (this was in the drum solo). At one point, we suddenly turned
- inward and contracted the circles, with horns pointing inward, all
- the way down to a very compact clump.
-
- We all just KNEW that this was sure to catch a judge, beacuse of the
- way the circles originally formed. We were all in big arcs that split
- up to form the circles, so it was just a matter of time.
-
- My circle finally did catch one, but he was smart enough to just find
- the center and stand there. Unfortunately, this was before the days
- of really fast-moving drill, and the circles were stationary on the
- field.
