SKIP,

The bad part about that is that where you stopped at, I picked up and continued on until 97! So the way I see it, that was a decade of damage. We had the hardest one-two punch in the swac and most of the colleges and high schools out here are still playing challenges and rips we wrote years ago. Where I am from they call that Legends!

I can't believe that these chocolate thunder cats really think they can hang with the BOX. First of all look at the name "Chocolate Thunder" sounds like a musty arse stripper! Ha Ha, but seriously they are alright but from a true percussionist point of view they need a little work. All that dancing is cool, but when it comes to cadence and technical stuff they can fall off sometime. But as with all sections, we have different styles so we appeal to different audiences. True drummers should be able to recognize talent no matter what school it comes from and that is just being real. Don't get it twisted we, DA BOX, have our own little gimics that we use to get the crowd involved, but even if we stood still and played, one could easily recognize that it is some fire coming off those drums. Speaking of drums, rumor has it that Gram is going to put some 22 inch spinners on that rolling bass drum for the battle in Dallas. Is it true? Bottom line is give those elementary kids back their drums especially those drum set tenors!, get rid of those band bucks before someone slip and break their ankle, and finally give the bass drum puller a break! think about it, would you want your parents to see you lugging a bass drum around? Oh yeah, shouts out to squirrel and those other old heads from Gram. Like Skip, said this "noise talking" on here is all in fun because the bottom line is we all got pride in our schools and sections so just stay focused!

Please tell me your joking

Have you ever saw thunder before?? Aside from being with the band??
 
98LastRip,

Joking about what? From my email you should be able to tell what I am joking about and what I am being serious about. So that is self-explanatory. For the record, did you play bass drum for Gram? If 98 was your last rip then I believe I know who you are and I think I met you a few months back but if not then no sweat it's all good.

You good with me player..play on
 
98LastRip,

Will you be at the Drum Thrashing, when we man handle Chocolate Thunder? If so try to get as many old heads there and we will get old heads from the BOX together and we can fellowship face to face as we watch the younger generation players go at it. We battled across the field when we played and we left the battles on the Drum, it's all love when we un-ax. So it will be good to meet those that I don't already know and remind the one I do know about how bad we use to make them look! 97-98 was my last rip too.

Being that I STILL march with DA BOX, it will be a pleasure to FINALLY put Chocolate Thunder to rest. If you thought 2000 and 2002 were bad, you ain't seen nothing yet.

GoodFella,

Who is Krank? Is that Pine Bluff's Section? If so, I have battled a few cats from there in my day when I was still on the ax, but depending on how old you are you may or may not have been there. I am pretty sure you may have heard about it though.

...That's not necessarily true, SKIP. Of course most cadences from PWCs may be different from the HBCUs, but at times they can set in a groove when they want to. It's all in a way of hearing them. I go to a PWC here in Texas where I used to be in the line here, and they're a'ight, but not as good as a PWC like USC or Michigan, and definitely not as good as a HBCU line like the BOX or even X-Factor (MBC), even though some members in the line has heard of the BOX since they have KKPsi brothers down there at PV, and they admire you guys for what you all do. As a matter of fact, some of them are even talking about coming to the drumline battle next month to check it out.
