not sure where he got the information though.

Hope to see some of our Tri-State area members there.


   
   

Noice!!

I will be there, camera in hand... if I can swing a Wednesday off.

I'll be there!!

 No Hurricane this year I hope.  Screwed everything up last year.  

  Poor people in the south are still recovering.

Why the heck is it on a Wednesday? I'll try and make it. Not sure though because of marching band.

Skip band for a day. Thats what I did last year, and as long as you're not a freshman your director most likely won't care. I just told him the first day of band camp that I would have to miss one day, and he said sure, just make sure you know the music on Thurs.

I wont be able to go!

Too  far away!

That sounds like the perfect airshow

If only it had the late Jimmy Franklin and Bobby Younkins

I'd deffo go... except for the minor inconvenience it's the wrong side of the pond!

It's not just that. Apparently the field show is supposed to be the most intense we've ever done, and I'm not sure if I can miss a day. Ah well, we'll see.

Why the heck is it on a Wednesday?

I agree. It seems a very strange time to hold a air show.

Some advice. If you are going to go, BRING FOOD! Last year my dad spent $20 for a Philly, 2 large sodas, and 2 slices of pizza, what a ripoff! ]

Flyboy, as long as you demonsrate that you know the music and can pick up on the show quickly, you should be fine. Your first game shouldn't be for another 2.5 to 3.5 weeks anyway. We too are doing our most complex show in the last 15 years. But my director said it wouldn't kill him to miss two people, even though I am, at the moment, they only Sousaphone.

Ah well. We'll see then.

I guess that seals it for me. As much as I'd like to meet up with you guys, it's not worth bugging my dad to take time off work and  take me. Plus our marching show is rather intense this year and I can't miss the day rehearsals.

Some other time though.
