  1. I'm jealous..............we don't start up again until January! Seriously, though...........have fun, and play loud!
  2. God I LOVE hearing stories like this! Sop players......what can ya do LOL
  3. you're close....I played FRENCH HORN in SCV, and MEEHAPHONE the next two years in BD. Never picked up a contrabass until Renegades.
  4. Honestly, I have found BK to be boring for years.......until 2010. Note: NEVER have I thought them to "suck", but they have played a lot of stuff over the years that quite frankly just didn't grab me.....however their 2010 show DID. Great job BK.
  5. This thread has reached the point where, against all logic and reason, I just wanna drop the topic and fart.
  6. I'd like to think that the kids are marching corps to "have fun" first, and "winning" after that. Not that I don't think every corps out there isn't doing their best to be the best they can competitively, but corps is about having fun with a special group of people you can bond with and find a home amongst. Some people find that in the "winning" tier of corps, others find it elsewhere...........
  7. Sorry to put so fine a point on it my friend, but I also do not see the "vs" angle................and both of those corps has great shows that they both performed well. My hat's off to them both.
  8. I can tell you that whatever Crown does in 2011, I will love it. Even if they take the field wearing bubblewrap armed with kazoos, they will find a way to kick ### with it.
  9. No, you are NOT ARROGANT, but some of us who have poked at you are. You are just..........ignorant's a strong word..........UNINFORMED. We all weren't born "knowing everything" about drum corps, and you won't learn it overnight. Some of what you are talking about, you learn by doing and can't sit back and analyze it on the chalkboard in class. And, since it appears that you won't have a chance to march in DCI, if there are any all age corps in your area I suggest you perhaps check them out for membership in the future. P.S. Under certain circumstances (when is the age cutoff again?) you can march at age 22, so you should look into that as well.
  10. To be fair, the skateboard rolls fairly straight while the Ferrari pulls a little to the left...
  11. Oh boy.........................I hope you put on your flame retardant suit!!!!
  12. Actually, I think it's a HORRIBLE business model.........but it seems to be the one that is used more often than not.
  13. I couldn't be happier. It restores the balance. 1) We have male/female guards in the top 12. 2) We have ALL MALE guards in the top 12. Now, FINALLY, we have an ALL FEMALE guard again in the top 12.
  14. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Drum Corps just isn't simpleton or pedestrian enough to be embraced by the masses..........it's too cerebral. That's why symphonies need private donations just to exist, and you never see soundtracks from those same movies in the top 40.
  15. I believe there are valid opinions all the way around on this issue... (which begs the question: what the frig would constitute an "invalid" opinion, anyway?)
  16. Although I voted 95 Scouts, all this finding new and creative ways to slam 2010 Blue Devils is REALLY getting old........and PATHETIC. Blue Devils won, and DESERVED TO WIN. Get over it.
  17. I cannot find this more laughable. I do find it disappointing that someone who marched SCV, who is in drum corps thought of as the hallmark of class and integrity, to be trained to HATE anyone. And, competitively, that's like someone being trained to hate the Giants who played for.....er, um.........who was the seventh place baseball team again this year? Anyway, whoever this kid you are talking about is is gonna LOVE me...........or NOT. P.S. NOT slamming SCV...........just tired of them not winning in forever............
  18. Way, way, way, WAY back in ancient history, about 350,000 years ago.........legend tells of a rivalry between SCV and BD, which harks back to a time when both corps were on the same competitive level. These tales are steeped in legend and myth...............no one knows for sure.
  19. I would love to agree with Barbara Maroney....................but she marched with the Cadets, and the Cadets are icky....... LOLOLOLOLOL JUST KIDDING!!!!!! Wise words from a wise woman indeed!!
  20. I am not on the Crown staff, and in NO way do I speak for the organization, but I'd think if you can play last year's "Asphalt Cocktail" baritone solo verbatim, you'd probably earn a spot SOMEWHERE in their hornline :) Good luck to you.
