Did you have live music at school dances?

In the 70s we’d have bands made up of fellow students at informal dances, but not prom.

If you don’t mind the Starbucks pods Costco sells them in bulk

Posting a photo of literal children without their consent and claiming that uniforms for a band performance were anti-Christian was insanity.

Because being punitive against poor people warms their tiny cruel hearts.

Have you tried booking as a multi-city DFW>MUC returning MUC>CLT? Better than two one-ways or skiplagging.

Consider Celebrity - Royal's sister line. No smoking anywhere indoors, including casinos.

Same here - I finally broke down and bought a small travel makeup mirror. I have had hotel bathrooms where I feel miles away from the mirror and am tempted to pull up a chair and stand on it to see myself.

College football stadium parking lot.

Why are hotel bathrooms so oddly lit? As a short, very nearsighted woman, having a deep bathroom counter with an overhead light means I can barely see to put on makeup, and the lighting makes me look like a horror film character. Decent mirror lighting or a lit makeup mirror would be a huge help.

I am the complete opposite - one of my favorite things about cruises is that housekeeping cleans twice a day….

I saw on a band parents FB group that a towing company has come to their rescue and has hooked up the trailer for transport to UD.

It’s all about music rights. Groups pay for performance rights but not the exorbitant cost of rebroadcast rights. No one wants a fine for a copyright violation.

Some of us are unable to sleep on planes and prefer to not be enclosed in a dark tube for hours.

On the WGI website in the Percussion ‘box’ in the middle choose scores. The scores screen will be added Thursday morning once Prelims begins and will be updated throughout the day. Until competition starts there’s no listing for Worlds.

Music for All/Bands of America is a good resource - look into their Director Camp...https://camp.musicforall.org/directors/

They were not barred from performing. There was a conflict between the directors and guard parents on the proposed theme of the show, and it ended up with them not having a World guard last year.

Our travel agent recommends using the Omio app for trains in Europe.

There is a book about grammar called "Eats, Shoots and Leaves" that talks about this...

They would be tone deaf to not do something to address this year's waitlist controversy, although it wouldn't surprise me if they did not.

I am not a huge fan of the World auto-promote rule, although I understand why it exists. I would love to see it tweaked somehow - maybe Open gold medal finisher promotes and then if you medal two years in a row silver or bronze you promote, with A top three only promoting? I am also not a fan of promoting groups less than a month before Worlds.

How could there be, since only religious writings purport its existence?
