They haven't done anything for him yet.  I have a feeling he isn't in Drum
Corps to get recognition or an award.  He could get that in a variety of easier
and cheaper ways.

No, but most of those that cheered did so because of the Star getting third,
not because the Cavies were first.  No one knew where the Cavies would finish.

Never said you were a Cavies fan, just a low life Star hater.  I dislike the
Bluecoats quite a bit.  But I will NOT go around on a channel meant to discuss
ideas and flame them for petty reasons.  Star has money, flaming them for that
is petty in my book.  Everyone in DCI should be a big happy family, except
those with money.  Leave them out, right?

My name isn't Nick.  My name is Chris.  No, I haven't marched BD.  Just love
them more than anyone else.  Who'd you march with?
