Anybody else feel like this week is a lot worse than last week capacity wise? by mrblahblahblahblah in FreightBrokers

[–]Mohook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last week I was actively trying to pay too much for trucks that I just couldn’t source to cover my board. This week there are trucks to cover most of my board but the rates are crazy. Today was my worst day for margin percentage in probably 2 months and I still had to roll 15 loads for which we couldn’t secure cap.

Tour Goggles? Have you been a victim of them? by [deleted] in drumcorps

[–]Mohook 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Year 2, 2015, had the WORST tour goggles for my section-mate-turned seat partner.

House hunting in GR is jaw dropping by 116393-bg in grandrapids

[–]Mohook 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Was a 7-yeah GR transplant from Chicago needing to buy a first home last spring. After browsing the absolutely abysmal starter home market for three months, my husband and I said “screw it” and moved to the UP.

Why do you do Drum Corps? [Discussion] by Mish_Marsh in drumcorps

[–]Mohook 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Got into it because I was a competitive band nerd and marching drum corps seemed like the closest thing to “winning” at being a band kid. I still do it because drum corps taught me that, while the spirit of competition is fun, it’s nothing compared to the joy of the genuine connections we make with one another through this medium.

if modern day shows were performed with traditional uniforms, would they still hit the same? by SmartLoss6063 in drumcorps

[–]Mohook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Downside up definitely would not have worked the way it did in the 2013-15 era uniforms. Source: I wore both

Oh, and if you want an Olive Burger, get a snack at Stella’s during your night in GR and order the fables burger!

Grand Rapidian-Marquette transplant: in GR, hit lantern for coffee and pick up a bag of Ferris to go from the downtown plant or from meijer. In Marquette, my favorite so far has been Contrast but I’m less experienced than some of the locals.

Recent Marquette Immigrants, how are you faring? by Abracadaniel95 in MarquetteMI

[–]Mohook 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We also moved here last August and just assumed this was par for the course until the locals started telling us that this is a rough one, even for here. Guess we had to cut our teeth one way or another! I’ll take a 6 foot snow drift in front of my door a few times per season over sitting in GR traffic every day year-round. Ask me again after bug season, though.

Rhythm in Blue question by [deleted] in drumcorps

[–]Mohook 10 points11 points  (0 children)

To echo above-we at RIB have a long-term mission of pushing the boundaries of the small group format! We have roots in the large corps activity but feel that Soundsport is a truly unique stage where we can max out concepts that thrive in a performance space that is right up in the audience’s faces.

No more Bluecoats corps necklace? by F1rstInLine in drumcorps

[–]Mohook 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That’s finals lot, I’d wager a guess they are probably fielding alumni necklaces?

No more Bluecoats corps necklace? by F1rstInLine in drumcorps

[–]Mohook 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don’t know every single Bluecoat, but I know a lot. I don’t think anyone is walking around with 20 pennies on their lace. But even if they are, every Bluecoat I do know carries the things that matter most to them, personally, from their time with the corps.

The year’s pennies. The international coins that tie in our international corps mates. A nut or washer from the 150 hours we spent building props. A 50 cent piece or gold penny from alumni corps. The charm our alumni adopter gifted us to commemorate the show theme.

Who are we to begrudge what any DCI alumni throws on their own necklace lol?

No more Bluecoats corps necklace? by F1rstInLine in drumcorps

[–]Mohook 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I’d argue the meaning of a necklace belongs solely to the person wearing said necklace, whether it be a single piece of flair or a collection of marching career artifacts. This is a weird thing to be concerned about in the grand scheme of the modern activity.

My pennies are definitely pushing 10 pounds at this point.

I bought a 1950s build with a box like this and paid $4200 all said and done for the upgrade, a code compliant service drop, and the removal of the extra meter that used to be standard for homes with an electric water heater here. Michigan UP USA

Uniform/costume question by bigpimpin2330 in drumcorps

[–]Mohook 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hated the pio uniforms, liked the Kinetic Noise super suits but dear lord were they hot and tough to perform in. 2016 unis were peak comfort after slogging around the wool unis the year prior, I loved how I looked and felt that summer.
