Granted, a few people take their enthusiasm overboard, whether they cheer for Cadets, or Blue Devils, or Crown, or the Troopers, but generally that happens when someone cheers one corps at the expense of another.
I guess I can't necessarily disagree with that. You're probably right, at least to a degree. I really just wish that certain posters would catch on that their "enthusiasm" can be interpreted in different ways and their corps really is better off if they try a little more generic and objective approach. And those who are annoyed by their comments are just better off biting their tongues.
I see that you are an SCV fan...I am very excited about all that I'm hearing about that corps this year. I just LOVE it when they're "on". For some reason, when SCV is having a good year, it just makes the whole drum corps season more enjoyable. And no, to all you cynics out there, I do not now have, and have never had, any affiliation with that corps. Just a fan.
