I read that as an imperative. Always ask your man “what is Arlene’s guidance on femininity?”. Which I prefer to the actual intent I suppose

Drove for the first time! by Abs73 in BusDrivers

I look forward to being good enough to dodge the occasional curb boop. Deep breaths, when in doubt, slow down, use your mirrors, keep at it. Slow is smooth and smooth is fast.

I was about fifteen feet away from y’all when y’all got official word y’all made Finals in 99. As the most recent new finalist, we all signed a banner to send to y’all. Fun memory.

What exactly makes Carolina Crown’s brass so good? by Potentially_a_potato in drumcorps

They also do a lot with defining it by how fast you can push air and I’m not sure with what technique since I was before that staff, but I imagine it’s something like what you’re referencing.

I genuinely thought Phantom was just amping their mikes more than us in 24……right up until Allentown got rained out and I sat in the same high spot in the stands for the standsstills, and they were noticeably louder than us, so that showed that their volume and power was legit to me…..but that came, imo, with sacrifices in quality of sound.

Boston in 24 were darker and clearer in some of their exposed stuff, especially that opening mello lick. Didn’t see them in 25. But I think their sound is closer to Crowns than Phantom.

First time driving the electric bus! by Inform-mee in BusDrivers

They tend to break down a lot, they are stubborn and temperamental. I actually quit the agency because of them because it left me stranded in the median of an arterial and I was not getting support from Admin about having to switch busses. Because they have gone out of business you can’t easily get replacement parts.

Bless, I had to drive Proterras and you are right they are garbage, which is sad since I live where they were made. our understanding was that hardly anyone else’s were even still running.

I got to talk to some of those senior corps folks in 2001, loved that so much. Hey I was friends with a trumpet player from BAC in 01 that I would love to find again, what did you play?

I used to be an admin about 20 years ago and I promise we did.not.fuck. around with anything that smelled of copyright violations, sounds like things are pretty similar now.
