We meet again, Mr. Bond.

Looks like you and I will be going head-to-head at three or four shows.

Sign up for the parade at Dragon Festival (if you haven't already). They also offer a concert competition there, but I don't have any woodwinds in my organization yet.

Brent W. Becker (who designed the new Blue Stars' uniform and is now working for Stanbury) has designed uniforms for some of the fantasy bands, too. His designs are incredibly awesome; I think he's the best uniform designer working right now, and I'm going to see if he can design a uniform for Ministry of Silence (probably not until after Finals, though, which means it wouldn't be ready until Season 10).

The Legionnaires (fantasy marching band, awesome uniform)

Brent's idea for Phantom Regiment (best uniform ever)

The Websense category "Proxy Avoidance" is filtered.

:lol: Unfortunately, I work for a very large and skilled company, and our IT people aren't dummies. Websense is a pretty lame program by itself, but our IT group is bright enough the plug the leaks in the dike, so to speak.

Eh, I'll be home in 45 minutes and check then.
