  1. It does not seem as though caption changes have been turned off. I made changes to my World class corps on Monday and I wanted to make different changes for finals and it says I have exceeded my caption changes for the week. How I read it was that we get changes regardless of that? Am I wrong with that assumption?

  2. Show Title: Northern Lights

    Opener: Day One, music from The Interstellar, by Hans Zimmer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDOPyamt1JA

    Being a corps from the North, seeing the Northern Lights is a thing of beauty. The music/show concept will try to depict the beauty that is the Northern Lights. L'Étoile du Nord, formally known as Minnesota VanDevs, went through some changes this off season. A name change, corps color changes (from black and blue) to a Forest Green, Red, and White (think SCV) look with a possible uniform change mid show (think Seattle Cascades).

  3. L'Étoile du Nord, formally known as Minnesota VanDevs, went through some changes this off season. A name change, corps color changes (from black and blue) to a forest Green, red, and silver look. We have also signed on with System Blue Horns and we are thrilled to be partnering with them for our brass and percussion. Just a few new things we wanted to introduce. Now, on with our show design. Our Corps name is the state Motto for Minnesota, meaning The Star of the North.

    We hope you enjoy the show this summer as we are excited to be presenting it to crowds all across this fine country of ours. 

    The weather might be cold here in Minnesota but the drum corps and the kids are on fire with learning the music, getting some drill on the field (yes, we have drill already). Thank you domed high school fields and US Bank Stadium. The kids have worked hard and we will be coming out strong. 

    Good luck to you all this season and we can't wait to see you all on the road. 

     

  4. Are the captions going to change since there are no recaps to base your scores off? How will this change for next season? It's hard to pick a 3 visual scores when you have no clue what those actual scores are. Idk, maybe it's just me.

    As for the other thing, I know I took a few years off from fantasy drum corps as life got busy but I am glad I am back. It's been fun and it's nice to be in the mix for a finals placement.

    Thank you to those who put this on!!

    What happened to the "DCA Fantasy Drum Corps" thing. Will that ever come back?

  5. Minnesota VanDevs are proud to announce their 2016 Show title: Prince: Best of Minnesota

    - Lets Go Crazy

    - I Wanna Be Your Lover

    - Purple Rain

    - Little Red Corvette

    - I Would Die For You

    It'll be an emotional yet exciting show for the kids to perform. Prince, being the icon of muisc for the state of Minnesota, we had to do something special for him this season.

    Hope you enjoy this tribute to one of the all time great musicians known to man kind
