Actually, when the season started, the fivesters were running on some inflated projections...

Then they leveled off.

The Fivesters Notes of Doom

"On the Road to Quarterfinals"

We are interviewing one of the Contras for the Fivesters.

Tommy Reynolds is here with us.

Interview:
How long have you been with the Fivesters Tommy?

T- This is my Rookie year with the Fivesters, Unfortunately it will be my last considering that my family is moving to California and I am going to start college soon.

What do you think is the best quote from your director?

T- A good one that is always said is "If you are not working hard then you are not working", that is probably one that I will use later on if I am ever in the same position as a director.

Would you ever go back to the Fivesters if you were offered a free ride to the camps and free sponsorship?

T-My parents are in the process of asking some of our family members money for a plane tickets and such. I will have to miss a Friday each month from school but it will be worth it considering that I plan to study hard, if everything comes through I will be back next year but it is not looking like it right now.

Where do you plan on going to college?

T- I plan to go to UCLA.

Thanks Tommy for taking the time to be with us.





A note from the director:

The Music City Fivesters this year have showned true dedication to their practice time and their individual responsibilities. While at some times I have been dissapointed, others have been rewarding. This year we have educated more members than past years with the help of some of our sponsors.

The Fivesters Notes of Doom

The Fivesters have truly showed the commitment of putting each foot forward. They have jumped from Division II to Division I at the beginning of the year, won 3 gold medals, 2 silver medals, and 7 bronze medals and have made it to the Finals in Wisconsin.

We are interviewing the director of the corps.

How did you feel when you heard that the Fivesters were going to be in the Finals?

PH- I was bombarded by the whole corps once they received the news, that moment was an inspiring moment that will hopefully help this corps do well in finals tomorrow.

Did you think the Fivesters would come this far?

PH-Our main goal was reached at the beginning of the season and we did have to work with numbers and such but just placing at a couple of shows was a great accomplishment. I believed we could get this far and the practices towards the Championship week showed the hope was still there.

How do you think they will do in Finals?

PH-We are standing at 7th place right now and I believe we can jump two places at most. However, just making Finals is a dream come true for some of the ageouts we have. I really hate to see a group of young and talented kids depart after tomorrow but hopefully the ride back home on our bus will show a true moment that this corps will keep on going forward and stand by its guard.

How many ageouts do you have this year?

PH-I have 32 ageouts and out of those 17 are Rookies in the Fivesters. However, from conversations with corps members I hear a lot of the other corps members will be coming back this year.

There has been a rumor of moving the corps to the West of TN due to a housing problem, is this true?

PH-We may have to move the corps a little bit West in between Nashville and Memphis but the housing is not the main problem. The reason we are doing that is for the first couple of camps next year. We already have the staff plans for next year planned out there will be three separate audition camps going on and then 1 additional camp in each of the TN areas (West, Middle and East TN).
Hopefully in January we will all get together in the Middle where the corps resides in a brand new Housing Site which was given by one of our anonymous sponsors and we will practice there every camp from there on.

Where is this Housing Site and why does the sponsor want to be anonymous?

PH-We have worked with this particular sponsor for two years now and they have been building us a housing site secretly and will be revealed to the corps members once they get back. They already know this since everyone received the news during Finals Week. The wonderful thing about this site is that we will be able to store things there and the members will be able to have a second home there on the weekends. The land is about 10 acres with two fields and a pavillion area outside. Each member will have a room with 10 more members and they will each have a bed. We will do our traditional "Sleep under the Stars" camp every year but I feel having this spectacular housing site will give us more. I cannot say exactly where it is yet but I can tell you it will be amazing.

The Fivesters Notes of Doom

The Fivesters have moved from 7th place to 5th place during Finals. The whole corps finished their "Dream" Season this year and most of the staff will be coming back next year.

We have the Fivesters Drum Majors Landon, Kat and Hunter plus Percussion Captain Ryan Anderson, Guard Captain Lacy Asters and Brass Sergeant Tommy Hentford.

Hunter, are you going to come back to the Fivesters next year or go back to the UK?

H- I think my time here will be done once I turn 22, I am coming back and plan on transferring to the US permanently during the school year.

Lacy, this is your ageout year, what will you do next?

L-I was offered a spot in a local DCA corps next year but will turn it down considering that I will concentrate more on college right now after having a spectacular season.

Landon, this is an age out year for you as well, any plans?

L- I was actually invited back to be a visual coordinator for the Fivesters next year and will be taking that responsibility as well as teaching the new drum majors during spare times during camps.

Ryan, this is not your ageout year, what will you do next year?

R- I will be aging out next year so I will definately be back.

Tommy, you are going to be in the UK next year, what will you do about drum corps?

T- I will be taking a semester off and will go to UK after I finish next season, directly after.

Kat, will you be coming back next year?

K- I will be going on to a different corps next year due to my family moving to Alabama. I will most likely be doing Spirit but those plans have not been made yet, there is a possibility of me coming back to the Fivesters.

We also have the Staff Announcement for next year.
