Outlook:
FDC's 2005 co-champions are looking forward to the 2006 season. Looking to repeat, the Scandals have been working very hard.

Our primary sponsor this year, the Stonecutters, will be providing us with many benefits ranging from secret underground practice facilities to secret highway shortcuts that will allow us to travel much easier in our new caravan of buses. The Stonecutters have helped us purchase new travel vehicles for our 2006 season. Combined with the "winnings" the organization recieved from becoming champions, the Scandals will be able to travel in luxorious comfort. Two staff busses and 4 student busses were purchased.

Repertoire to be announced in the near future.

The repertoire for the Scandals' 2006 field show Avant-Garde will contain excerpts from:

• The Canyon (Philip Glass)
• 4:33 (John Cage)
• Tubular Bells (Mike Oldfield)
• Medea (Béla Bartók)

The guard uniforms and flags will be designed by artist Peter Max. Timichael Gainebanks will be our visual caption head.

More to come...

aaah! Good old 4:33.. I could listen (?) to it all day long

The Canyon?

You bastard...

We bet you would . . . .

You're welcome,

Those guys you beat

Thank you. We look forward to doing it again.


In other news...

The Scandals' staff has grown this year. As mentioned earlier, Peter Max is our Guard uniform designer and Timichael Gainebanks is our automated visual caption head genius. Yes, automated. Michael Gaines and Tim Fairbanks were briefly kidnapped and their creative minds were duplicated to create the ultimate, indestructable visual caption head robot. In addition to the visual duties to the corps, Gainebanks is a beast at washing dishes.


Our other staff members are the same as last year. In case you forgot:

Brass Caption: Tim Jackson
Percussion Caption: Tim Jackson

Front Ensemble: Tim Jackson
Snare Technician: Tim Jackson
Tenor Technician: Tim Jackson
Bass Technician: Tim Jackson
Cymbal Technician: Tim Jackson

Technician for each Hornline Subsection: Tim Jackson

Flagline : Tim Jackson
Rifle Technician: Tim Jackson
Bodywork Technician: Tim Jackson



Tour Director: Tim Jackson
Food Director: Tim Jackson
Truck Driver #1: Tim Jackson
Truck Driver #2: Tim Jackson's distant cousin, Jim Tackson (You didn't really expect Tim to drive two different trucks each night, did you? I mean, Tim Jackson is good. Really good. Exceptional, fantastic, marvelous, and other words found in the thesaurus for 'great', but he isn't a master of quantum theory or cloning, so we hired someone reccommended by our staff.)

Sorry, The Scandals will not be touring with their personal Elvis impersonator this year.

Our staff has determined that our show might not have the momentum to still be on top when Finals arrive, so we have planned an entire new show. The show is done. It took only 5 hours, 37 minutes, some Red Bull, and a lot of nachos. We are uncertain at when we make the change, but we are certain that it will be successful. The members of the corps will learn everything in their sleep. Nothing like a good 'ol hypnotism to achieve perfection.

Until then, we will stay the course and get them terrorists... all 24 of them.

But Tim's god enough to do all that and march BD . . . he did it last year. Two buses at once should be no sweat.

just beat kevin.

I tried that slogan last year, and it didn't work. However, I am not going to argue with the results...so here is the new slogan...Just tie Kevin.

We'll see about that

thats one scandalous activity that should have never even been thought of.

The Dreadnoughts would like to know how it feels to get beaten at your own show.

Thank you,

One of the groups of guys who beat you.

Yea, thats nice, but for the record, I'd like to bump this...

Thank you for playin'

But I thought Tim Jackson could do anything last year, even perfect a non-Finals-worthy show to a condition that could win the gold . . . he just keeps getting more and more human.

Tim Jackson was being a diva and held out on a contract for employment.

Apparently he thought we were making him do too much.

In the time that he whined for contract re-negotiation (which included going to various activity-related messageboards that he was not a regular member of and asking the members to sign a petition for more money), we proceded with the design process.

It was not Tim Jackson superior.

Never fear though. We have our secret weapon (no, its not Bird Flu).

dont look now, but somebody is making a run for the top...

Yeah, I'm just enjoying the ride to the top

Ah... a return to victory.

The Scandals took first place overall at this past weekend's regionals. Since the end of July, the Scandals have completely over-hauled their show. We first recieved mild success, with a couple silver and bronze placements, but our members are fully comfortable and are looking forward to performing their best at finals.

Good luck to everyone!

Scandals win! Scandals win!

And this time its all theirs -- no ties!


The Scandals would like to thank Tim Jackson, all of our members and a word from the dictionary called "payola". thats just the way we roll.


See all you losers in '07! Its time to party!
