  • Go Hoppy!! Nice Mustache FHSAB! 2012 :-)

  • @alinktothepresent An opinion can't be incorrect.

  • @phantommp5 Are you kidding me? That's complete bullshit. Just because Hop's introduced some new innovations into the drum corps community doesn't mean they're bad. If he "hated" it, why would he be the director or one of the best corps in the nation for 28 years? And no entertainment? The screaming crowd at the DCI event I went to this past summer leads me to believe that your assumptions are false. "Innovations" and "destroying" just don't go together.

  • @phantommp5 WHAT?Is this a done deal?

  • Go Cadets. Fuck Hopkins.

  • Hulk Hogan Called!... He wants his Mustache Back!!!

  • I remember in Whitewater, the z pull disaster - Wow....

  • Shooster & Sam ....I totally agree! Hop is ruining Drum & BUGLE Corps. His innovations are destroying an activity that's been around since the 1920's! Amplifiers, guitars, and now woodwinds? Go compete in Bands of America. We're losing members because we're no different than bands. Bands used to emulate Corps, now Corps are copying bands. No power, no entertainment, no BUGLES! Thanks George, you must really hate Drum & BUGLE Corps!!!

  • It's hard to understand Hop unless you've been in the corps. My colleagues don't always get it, but this is the same philosophy I use with my high school students.  Hopefully they will pass it on. Thanks George!!!!
