  1. And Michael Turner comes home to Madison! http://www.madisonscouts.org/2018/09/madison-scouts-welcome-back-michael-turner/
  2. Spotted Cow is the best! Can't get it out here in Colorado......unless some kind soul from Wisconsin could bring me some! ;)
  3. Wow! Big news out of Madison! http://www.madisonscouts.org/2018/09/madison-scouts-welcome-james-elvord-artistic-director/
  4. Only problem with that is they have I'm guessing entirely new members that didn't march back then. There would be a lot of alterations and refitting. Better to buy entirely new ones. I'd still be in favor of that exact look though.....we'll, maybe the jacket could have about 2 shades darker of the green to make it that classic forest green!
  5. Not to get too technical, but in 88 there were only two nights, semis and finals.....but you're right, they won both.
  6. I agree with a lot of what you're saying, but......not even close to challenging for a world title in the 70s and 80s? Did I read that correctly?
  7. Something aint working and i feel like a house cleaning is in order
  8. I think they will be solid this year. The source music is fun and packs a punch. But yeah, I'd like to see the costumes too!
  9. Any word or hints about what the Scouts will be performing in 2018?
  10. I'm much more interested in what kind of show Madison will come out with for 2018 and what type of costuming will go with that program!! I'd still like to see them do a "Men of Steel" show.
  11. Is KC Michael out as Program Coordinator? If so, I'm interested to see who they get to replace him. I thought he did an amazing job in that position!

  13. Wow, I didn't notice the sword. Need to watch it again! So many great little subliminal messages, and hidden details even on the Corps uniform. Like citation chords, sashes, belts, yes even spats (even though they're brown/gray), gauntlets. Also, the head pieces have stylized Fluer-De-Lis on them. Now I wonder what the Men of Madison have in store for 2018. I'm super excited to find out. But I'll have to be patient, since they'll probably keep it a secret like they did this past season. (Unless some well connected brother wants to PM me if he knows something. ;) )
  14. Don't forget the Audobon Bon-Bons (not sure where they were from).....and the Capitol Aires from Madison WI.
  15. Congratulations Scouts for making it back into Finals with a very well executed and fine product! The more I watch your show, the more I want to watch it. This alumnus is very proud of you and all of the blood, sweat and tears you have put into this production! Now go tear the roof off of that Oil Can tonight MAD MEN!!!
  16. The show is really coming together and gaining steam. I'm really starting to love it! One very minor criticism. They changed the color of the Fluer-De-Lis that sits center field. It's definitely is visible now, but that flat bright red clashes with the overall color palette of the show. I would change it to a slightly more warm tone of red and add either a slight gradient to it, or some type of subtle texture. Because right now, it kind of feels out of place. Other than that, this show is becoming an amazing piece of work! Keep the pedal to the medal guys! GO MAD MEN!!!
  17. So are you saying that the members of the Madison Scouts will have to come back in the next life to atone for their sins committed in this one? Because that's the actual definition of Karma. Or do you want revenge of some kind? Because when you say "What goes around comes around", that sounds like they did something to you, and you want "Karma" to get back at them. Oh, I know what happened. One of them stole your girlfriend. That explains everything!
  18. Perfect. But the gold symbol is the Fluer-de-lis....just a tribal looking one.
  19. Two hours to go with only 70 miles? Or are you saying you're driving 70 miles an hour and it's still two hours to go? In any case, hope you enjoy the show tonight! Anyway
  20. I'm hoping I get to at least 2 o 3 shows this summer! I'm excited by the music Madison had chosen for their show.....especially the middle two thirds of the show - which is all original music! I hope someday Madison will do an ALL original show, but this is fantastic! It's hard to tell from the clips I've heard what the show is like as a whole, but there are some really intriguing and powerful moments!
  21. That was the year that DCI outsourced the sound engineering to IBM Interactive Media....who obviously had little grasp on how to mix/master for a Drum Corps show.
