this band isn't nearly as good as sfu...

[dazgregs]

Care to explain that rather bold statement?

[sgtpepper345]

yes...every year sfu goes over there and gets around a 9th or a 7th in drumming..such as last year..and they have one of the best drum cores in the world..with players such as steven mcwhirter (world solo drum champion 2007) ect. there is no way a band of that calliber should be placing anywhere near 9th place..their tunes are much more expressive and i believe the reason why they dont get first at the worlds is simply because they are a canadian band...with a grudge against jack terry and reid

[dazgregs]

Absoulte rubbish! Have you not thought that there are some fabulous drum corps in the UK and Eire aswell? Just because SFU get beat you pull out the grudge card?? get real..one off day for the drum corps and you shout conspiracy!! Give some credit to the corps' that beat them instead of bitching and whining.

[sgtpepper345]

no disrespect to fmm at all! all im saying is that they got a ninth in drumming...do you really think that they deserve a ninth? be honest with yourself...

[dazgregs]

OK - put it this way. In the same competition SLOT (at the time the reinging drumming champions) had a 7th and 8th in drumming. This tells me Corps improved over the year and had good runs on the day. SFUs drum corps didn't...simple as.

[sgtpepper345]

way to make a fool of yourself

[sgtpepper345]

:) check the results baby

[coyotedib]

Poor Pm....He looks like an absoultly wonderful guy and he must have been gutted...

[Dthepiperavid]

nah he just never got the bag up right

[scottypiper2708]

what happend to the pipe major at the british chams this year

I thought he was about to have a heart attack

[japanrussell]

so much of the scoring is subjective and based on the judge`s ears. Do you really think you are being objective or is your pride talking on behalf of your reason? On any given day, reputations of the old days beside, many of these bands could pull of an upset of sorts whether that be pulling up a few ranks or all the way to the top. I`ve seen it happen, and it does happen. No one band is invincible and no one band is forever shite. I respect all these bands. God Bless!

[mamo2293]

I honestly reckon field marshal aren't going to be the champs this year. Canadians might have a shot...

[gords6823]

If you're talking about the band over all there is a slight difference, but when it comes to drum cores I'm sorry to say that the clans core is by far the greater of the 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RobbieCrow17791]

you could compare the drumcores.. they aint that far apart

[sgtpepper345]

im sorry did you just compare clan gregor with sfu??? pfffffffffft hahahahahahahahahahahaha what a joke
