  1. she always impressed me as someone who would be very good at shuffling papers around on her desk
  2. who spotted him? where? all I saw was him commenting on show with some picture you can easily find online - and everyone jumps to the conclusion "he was there" I don't believe he was at any shows in 19/21/22
  3. he's banned - so it's not happening & stop talking about him, put him in the review mirror and don't look back
  4. literally couldn't BEG to get/retain decent numbers in guard at Cavaliers, finished 9th in GE, 9th in VA and 10th in Guard yet he's the answer? Strange take.
  5. oh yes, I see, to be a first-time winner they're clearly in the best position. Not really anyone close to winning that hasn't.
  6. I mean, none of it was handled very professionally so...
  7. how so? I would think Bloo given the back-to-back 2nds?
  8. it really never ceases to amaze me how MUCH DCI gets wrong - looked at ONE PAGE and it has major mistakes 😞
  9. I don't see many changes (if any) in the top six, it'll be interesting to see if Boston can replicate their 2022 success & if Bloo can carry their last month's momentum into the offseason they maybe give BD more of a challenge? In the middle of the finalist pack a more veteran Cadets corps will have to improve a bunch just to fight off Cavaliers and Blue Stars, Phantom Regiment > I guess they'll do it, but it won't be easy as all 3 may improve Rounding out the top 12 - Troopers will need to improve their execution (particularly in brass & guard) in order to remain a finalist. They can't rely on extremely weak programming from both Blue Knights (best chance to return to finals IMO) and Crossmen (hopefully some changes there, I'm really not a fan of this version) Also I predict (hope) that we'll see both Seattle Cascades AND Spirit return to Indy in 2023.
  10. I quickly counted from a video - 7,000 made it in, the other 21,000 gave up in line and went back to the hotel.
  11. Others here (Jeff Ream) have stated DCI has stated as much, I don't know his source. I feel that it is not as difficult designing, teaching 3 years of championship shows in 5 years as it is in 3. It's certainly still difficult, but it absolutely is not the same and provides additional time for planning, designing, recruiting, dreaming up ideas etc. If you feel like it's the same, that's fine.
  12. That’s awesome, that corps is on a great roll - hope he had a great season!
  13. Nope. Three consecutive years is a three peat, not three wins in five years
  14. I had the same issue at the Annapolis, MD show. And the guy w/ a lanyard was very pushy trying to sit in my friends seat (you know, the expensive ones which I PAID FOR) he was trying to push past me to take the seat after I said no, it's taken - I literally had to stand up face to face with the dude and say "it's not available, go steal someone else's seat, because you're not stealing this one" in a very firm manner.
  15. Oh yeah - that's all it is. Literally everyone in the business world is having the same experiences as my organization but it's just in my imagination. You recruit - pay more than ever - hire someone, they accept your job offer, you confirm them the day prior to their start date, and then they don't show up! Over and over and over. Pretty sure LOS is experiencing the same thing
  16. I mean California is massive - size and population - so 100 from a massive state and 60 from all the top programs in the USA
  17. understand - it's just interesting this "3 peat" thing keeps popping up
