Okay, I am getting curious now. Anything, anybody?

I just got this email and they asked if you can air all my additional concerns in writing for their post mortem meeting early next week.

I also managed to speak with the NCBA who confirmed that the time on stage for the bands are as follows:

Large (3000 members and over) 75 minutes
3000 members exact 60 minutes

Medium 30 minutes

Small 15 minutes

Miniband 5 minutes

So I also want to know how some of these bands getting judge in the large band category when they did not have 3000 people in the band.

dat sounding like Miami carnival... there is only one band that fit the large band criteria.. yet... anyhow :devil

All ready a lot of bands will come into question with this NCC policy because IE also did not have 3000 people in their band this year. They were also giving away costumes just to have numbers. I'm here sitting watching the parade of the bands 2k5 DVD right now from Advance Dynamics. So they all busted.

I was just going to post on this. Mc Farlane's band was only about 1000/1500 (if that much).... as was I.E.

Yep Mc Farlane looked excellent on the road and his presentation was fabulous. However, they also crossed the stage right before Tribe. So no way in hell can they say that they had 3000 people playing in that band as well. Everyone knows its impossible to make 50 sections in Poison cross the stage under 75mins.

Well in Poison's defense, they actually had 2 bands: Poison I and Poison II. The first beginning with Sonja Mack's section... the other beginning with Kwan Yin. Each had 75 minutes to cross...

Is Tribe on the 2K5 DVD? I know NCC didn't bring any coverage of us on Tuesday night even though they did tape us crossing.
