Hi, this is my first post so forgive me if something

I was at a book reading in Dayton, Ohio sometime in August were R. Asprin was the featured author.  He was asked when the next Myth book would be done and  his reply was July of 1991.  The third Phule book will probably be out sooner as he read selected chapters (those dealing with the Company priest) from that.

I must say that the question of which aspirin product is best seems to be a 
topic of no-end on television commercials.  Basically, acetasalicylic acid
is no different from one tablet to the next.  5 grain aspirin tablets should
have around 325mg of aspirin.  Moisture breaks it down into acetic acid
and salicylic acid.  The former is vinegar, which can be smelled in old
bottles of aspirin, and the latter is what was used until aspirin was 
separated as a drug of its own by Bayer in the 1800's.  It doesn't matter
whether the aspirin comes from Target or Walgreen's.  I hope this answers
some of your questions.

Why not post the ACK to alt.colorguard as well?

Editorial:  I think it's important that we vote the marching groups into
the mainstream hierarchy, i.e. the "rec" hierarchy, as opposed to the "alt"
hierarchy.  Many sites are reluctant to provide resources for alt groups.
Once we get into the mainstream, we can talk about further splits, but the
margin of victory needs to be at least 100 votes, and that means we need to
have at least 100 people voting.

Well, yes and no.  He was the reason Spirit suddenly had a marching
program in 1983.  And he was the reason Spirit's color guard was the
best in DCI in 1983.  And he was a driving force for a few years afterward.
But as for his visual ideas being stunning, I don't know.  His visual ideas
basically were putting paisleys on the field and wiggling them around
(I speak here of corps, not guard; I don't know what he did with
State Street).  It was a major leap for Spirit to go to early-80's
drill design, but they got stuck there in the late 80's and early 90's.

Not to disparage his crontibutions, of course.  Before him, there
was Mel something-or-other who was brought in to wipe out the mediocre
assymetrical drill and turn Spirit into the 1980 Blue Devils.

One of the finest colorguard-type units I ever saw was the "(some 
military force) Silent Drill Team."  They performed at halftime in
a Georgia Tech basketball game.  I think they fit in fine with charter
for this group.

They performed a completely silent rifle drill, complete with perfectly
timed marching, tosses, etc.  The only noise was the occasional synchronized
"thunk" of the rifle butts bouncing off the floor.

What ever happened to Basin Street (from Madison, WI I believe).  When I 
marched Spirit in '88, a lot of the guard was from there, and a girl I dated
from Spirit was also.  She exposed me to WGI and I thought it was really
awsome.  Being a percussionist, I wasn't really exposed to guard things
before then.  If I remember correctly, their head was also colorguard head
for Spirit (Sal something).  They were supposed to be really good back then,
but they don't exist anymore, why?

13th.  This should be the first regional of the year.  I also know there will

Well, I think you mean State Street Review.  And yes, they were (and
are) very good.  State Street either tied or won the championship five
years in a row.  After their 1989 championship season, they took a
couple of years off but were back again last season.  In their first
year back they took the bronze medal.

This year looks even more promising since the *entire* staff is back with
the unit.

Their director's name is Sal Salas, and he worked with Spirit from 1983
to 1990.  IMHO, I think Sal was the biggest reason Spirit jumped back
into the middle of the finals pack in 1983.  His visual ideas have
always been stunning.

Later,

Actually, no. Any sort of ceremonial color guard is fine here. Feel free to
chime in with whatever you want...

>The colorguard groups discussed here are mainly "winterguards" sponsored by

That's one of the North American organizations. There are all sorts of circuits
around that have nothing to do with WGI. And you don't even mention non-NA
>color guards.

>While these groups do use some weapons (rifles, sabres) as equipment, they

The critical distinction with NROTC color guards is that they're purely for
ceremony. It would be *fine* to talk about ceremonial stuff here.

I'm just not sure there's a whole lot to talk about...

>The shows usually emphasize dance and equipment work over precision marching.

That's the trend over the past 10 years. You betray your youth in your posting.

Sorry to burst *yours*. If you're going to act authoritative, on Usenet, it's
