[TomazHilton]

WheN yall place top 3 in noteworthy competitions then y'all would have the right to say that, till then, ill advise you to not judge this drumline. Sincerely, tomazhilton

[347826able]

[347826able]

@pollittsway dude i didnt mean it in a bad way its just that down south showbands dont sound like that

[TomazHilton]

He didn't mean to reply to but yea most of your lines up here sound like this if they have no tenor drums and dead bass drums

[TomazHilton]

Camden didn't not march inaugural (BKSMB marched) , nore compete nationally (national high stepping comp). So you can't Talk. No one hasn't even heard of y'all before y'all came to HUHC. Ballou, Highland springs, Henrico, Thomas Jeff., warren county, ic norcom, CREAM, eastern, dunbar/mckinely all run the eastcoast. And please if your talkin about the big band in NY wit the steel drum soundin drumline please they don't know what rudiments are.

[kglasker]

Tomaz Hilton.Ballou is a very good line but was never better than codered. They never competed with us in any drumline competitions or nothing like that. And a lot of them comppetitions we won. So please tell me how they were better than us.Oh and they never wanted to block us too.

[bunnyboou2]

k-phi all day i might be part of TST but dats ight we still one band wit one sound love yall nd you look good!

[sasanford73]

so really...theres only like a dozen or so schools that march that style...my question is why? i mean..how would a wgi judge be able to compare that stuff to traditional military style? jw is all, not tryin to start shit

[BALLOUdropPLAYA08]

its a difference from core style and traditional...but if u say so....k-phi bassline b singin allday.....

[BALLOUdropPLAYA08]

man i miss this section...we was cookin shit all day...big ups to class of 08....K-PHI......BOOOOMMMMM!!!­!!!!!

[deAngelo1335]

@BALLOUdropPLAYA08 K phi boom all day.. Holla at me.. FUNK PHI MOB enough said.

[chopzilla90]

noooo eatern and dunbar lines are about the same size... and im stickin to my word the previous yrs eastern was not ready to compete wit da top lines in da city yet...we shall see this yr

[chopzilla90]

theres no comp in dc for k phi boom or code red they are the 2 best lines in dc...eastern is good but their not on a competing level yet. trust me i know

[TomazHilton]

Acually your wrong eastern has. A great drumline, they are just not as big as dunbar or ballou, they did well at the 2007 mid atlantic competiton and they wasn't really togethter then (got rid of the tenors inn 2008)

[IAMCHAISE]

SICK

very, very nice

[bookercity]

Good drumline, good band! i was there marching with Booker T Washington...o yea i like yall drum major uniforms. they kinda look like NSU's

[dbsr111]

Snare solo consisted of more than triplet back sticking. This feature was put together 3 days before they performed it and they still won first place,so i guess you being impressed doesn't matter. I also checked out your line and its nothing to write home about.

[BALLOUdropPLAYA08]

its a diffence from corpstyle and traditional....y would u compare....lol

[brhsbass1]

Im not impressed, the snare feature was just triplets with backsticking, the bass feature was extremely easy and 4th bass wasnt playing in the center of the head and the tenor feature also very easy....

[TomazHilton]

its not as easy as it seem and where do you see tenors? u must be from the corpstyle background.......those are quad/quints.... tenor is a whole different instrument in traditional band

[brhsbass1]

Its pretty dang easy man,especially the basses music, and quads/ quints whatever you want to call them, they had easy music too, check out Blue Ridge High school corps of cadets drumline especially the bassline

[TomazHilton]

uh.... i sort of refuse to compare traditional style percussion to corpstyle.

[TomazHilton]

But they do sound ok... just not mystyle

[brhsbass1]

I understand what you mean, i personally prefer corpstyle

[Pazzoom]

Great band and routine.

[RootsUndone]

that drop bass drum didnt look like he knew what he was doin

and it sounds better with the tenor drums

but hey. . w\e

[jones34killer]

[kglasker]

[Askanison29]

Yea their instructor has done tremendous things with them, love the NSU flava..good job!

[TheInstructor]

Yes we thank u for that comment

[Askanison29]

What have I always said "You just can't beat out structure and discipline". people who matter notice those things first. I'm glad to see that The Knights have obtained those factors, for them everything else should be a breeze, I look forward to seeing them more.

[spartangirl]

Love their helmets! : ) Great Job!!
