Yeah, you really can't compare the '84 show to anything else in drum
corps.  Wow.  Wow.

   I don't really like 'repeat' or 'best of' shows in general, I guess. 
   Maybe my attention span is too short, but if I've heard it before, 
   basically the same, then I'm not interested. Short signature things are 
   OK, but if it's an actual part of the *show* instead of just a coda, 
   forget it. Lots of people may get excited at the thought of the Scouts 
   rehashing 'Slaughter' or whatever but not me. I can listen to records.

   I also tend to think that it's not fair to the kids in the corps. Sure,
   music is music, but there will inevitably be comparisons to the last
   time the corps played the music, and who needs that?

   And, when you have the immense power to expose people to new (or old 
   but as yet unperformed by D&BC) music, why would you *want* to repeat 
   yourself?

Oh boy, Aaron.  This is so well stated; I couldn't ever put it better
myself.  Too many examples come to mind (I turned off to the Blue
Devils for a while because of this, and the Vanguard disappointed me
when they'd carry over parts of shows to the next year; I felt that
was a terrible crime to commit against the kids, but maybe somebody
else has a different perspective on it that could change my mind). 

   On the other hand, I can watch 'Dragnet' reruns for hours on 
   Nickelodeon. Call me fickle.

Okay, you asked for it.  Maybe we should call you Aaron "Fickle"
Oppenheimer (is that really what the "f" is for?).

Fantasy on an Irish Washerwoman's Song.  (A combination of the old

played it in wind ensemble.)

Personally, I thought it was the highest-placing HS Band show ever to
appear at DCI.  When they were beating some of the big names, I about
puked.  (And I really liked them in 1988.)

They came out clean, and the other big corps leapfrogged them at the end
of the season.  So they decided to up the difficulty level a bit in
1990.  Boy did they ever.

Later,

Sorry...there are no top 12 corps who use matched grip on snare anymore.
In fact, I'm fairly confident that all top 25 use one form or another of
traditional grip.  Going into a top 12 corps auditions cold, with no corps
experience or use of traditional, your friend should probably set his
sights realistically on bass drum (which can be a blast, too.)  Another
option is to get some experience with a 13-25 corps, work on traditional
playing, and try out for a top-12 line in 1994.

It's a NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug).  Think of it as a
more potent and powerful form of aspirin or ibuprofen.

First, these are expensive, and you'd be wasting them--presumably your girl-
friend has a real use for them.  Second, if you were lucky, you'd probably
puke.  You could really irritate your stomach.  These are without any kind of
psychotropic action.  Don't waste your time.

   They're supposed to give your brain the nutrients it uses while
thinking, thus keeping it from being deplpeted and not tire out.

  No because they don't really work and it would be bad marketing to
say so.

  The placebo effect.  I hate to bring you down but most of them don't even
get into the blood stream, the stomach or enzymes from even lower convert them
to things your body thinks they ought to be.  Those that get into the blood stream don't cross the blood brain barrior. (Not much does or you would die).
If they did get across the barrior they would run into a rate limiting
problem.  Your brain can only use a certain amount of the stuff at a time
and there's an abundance already.  Nobody has found any evidence of a real 
brain drug with the possible exeption of simple sugars and carbohydrates.

>  What is the current legislation concerning "smart drug" distribution?

  The FDA is a bunch of losers.  They don't want you taking anything
that they wouldn't take themselves if that.  Regardless of smart drugs
effectiveness you ought to be able to take them if you want (most research
labels these drugs pretty much harmless) but not according to the FDA.
If the FDA had it's way you wouldn't be allowed to take vitamen C.  I'm 
afraid smart drugs will never get in the market after the FDA ruling go into
effect.

>           How,  when,  and where were they discovered?

  When the chemicals that your brain uses the most of were isolated (neuro-
science research) they immediatly experimented with hieghtening levels of
the chemicals.  For the reasons above, plus no significant findings, they
lost intrest, mostly, in it.

First, you might want to go to a library and look up the drug in a

Thanks to all who responded to my inquiry about the U.S. prices on
Radio Shack scanners.  I've taken the Canadian and American prices
and created a comparison table as shown below.

The price to the left of the backslash is the current catalogue price
in the respective country.  The price to the right of the backslash 
has had the applicable taxes added.  In Ontario, Canada, this means
7% GST and 8% PST.  I used New York as a model for the U.S. and added
a 7% sales tax, which would be charged at point of sale to any Canadian
buying at a Radio Shack store in that state.

The third price on the far right in the American example has been corrected
for the difference in currency.  I used an arbitrary figure of 25% for
conversion purposes; obviously this value fluctuates.

I've omitted the PRO 39, as this model is not available in Canada.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Model  |  Canadian Catalogue                 |   U.S. Catalogue             
-------|-------------------------------------|------------------------
PRO 41 | $159.95/183.94  sale $139.95/160.94 | $119.95/128.35/160.44
PRO 42 | $179.95/206.94                      | $139.95/149.75/187.19
PRO 36 | $259.95/298.94  sale $199.95/229.94 | $169.95/181.85/227.31
PRO 35 | $299.95/344.94                      | $199.95/213.95/267.44
PRO 43 | $429.95/494.44                      | $349.95/374.45/468.06
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Soooo..... here's the bottom line for Canadians contemplating a little
cross-border shopping:

PRO 41: About $23.50 cheaper in the U.S., but you'd only save fifty cents
        if you bought one this month since it's on sale in Canada.

PRO 42: You'd save about twenty bucks on this one.

PRO 36: It's about $72 cheaper stateside, but again the sale comes into
        play.  You'd save $2.63 if you bought one this month.

PRO 35: This model is $77.50 cheaper in the U.S.

PRO 43: A measly $26 cheaper stateside.

Considering the additional 7% GST which would be levied by Canadian
customs upon re-entry to Canada (you WERE going to declare your purchase,
weren't you?), it is apparent that there's little to be gained by shopping
at a U.S. Radio Shack if you're a Canadian looking for a good deal on a
scanner.

A good number of people have suggested to me that substantial savings could
be realized by visiting a Radio Shack store on my next trip to Florida (or
wherever).  Well, I'm afraid it just ain't so.......
