  1. What DCI should do is maybe make a Kickstarter for physical media. If they sell X amount, they have the funds to produce the items, and you can sign up for individual items or bundles so they know how many to produce instead of just making a blind bulk order. I'm proud of my physical media collection as a whole; almost 1200 Blu-Rays and almost 200 4Ks, plus a bunch of CDs that I rotate through. In my DCI collection, I've got everything from 2000 forward, having to pay eBay prices for the pre-LOS CDs and the 2009 Blu-Ray. I already dislike how I don't have a physical copy of the 2021 shows, but I'd be upset if that continues into 2022, especially if we're setting up for a historic year for placements on top of the organizations 50th anniversary.
  2. I did something similar, since I've got a ton of storage on my phone. It's a great way to discover those gems from long ago.
  3. I would love to see The Cavaliers do a show called Deus Ex Machina, maybe for a big anniversary coming up. It could be an all original music show and combine the feels of XtraordinarY and Machine. Dark, pushing the visual envelope, and very Cavaliers of new and old. It starts out with maybe the corps proper in the old guard uniforms from Machine and one by one we see the guard (dressed in green) break the corps out into something similar to their 2017/2018 uniforms but all black until a big GE reveal where the chest piece comes off and it's a green gear insignia (similar to Phantom's crests in 11 and 12). They set up to do a closing move like the run and jump from Samurai/XtraordinarY but then fake us out and do something even more insane. The show winds down, literally, as they have an ending similar to the ending of Machine where everyone halts. Maybe not fully developed concepts yet as far as props, costumes, etc, but I'd love to see Blue Devils do Hadestown (someone else mentioned that too, so I won't take full credit), Blue Stars do an ABBA show called Thank You For the Music, and someone (Colts maybe?) do Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill Broadway show. Also, ever since their respective 2019 shows, I've been wanting Bluecoats to do a Weezer show called The Bloo Album and Crossmen to just say "screw it, we're the rock corps now" and go full The Hu or Rammstein.
  4. 🔥🔥|🔥|🔥🔥🔥 A week left in competition and they've already topped 95! Holy ####, congrats corps, congrats alumni, congrats fellow Boston fans, congrats fans as a whole, we're witnessing something truly amazing here!
  5. I want to manifest this into the world. I'm not sure if it will happen, but maybe if I type it, it'll happen! Boston Crusaders (probably 2) Blue Devils (probably 1) Bluecoats Santa Clara Vanguard (probably 5) Carolina Crown (probably 4) The Cadets
  6. If I remember right, only the regional do groups of 3. For Prelims, I think they just average those scores and you land where you land.

  8. 4 years of marching band in high school and nothing past that. Just a big fan of the activity!
  9. Wait, no onions? What is this blasphemy? Also, shout out to Vienna Beef. Expensive af but worth it, especially with chili dogs.
  10. I said the same thing for a podcast update. Number of syllables in their show title: 4 Number of corps above them in Finals: 4 Everything lines up.
  11. I hate to admit that about my favorite corps, but BK needs to dig up one of the mirrors they've used between 15 and 19 and take a look in it. This new vibe isn't doing it. They might be watching Dubuque from the stands on Saturday instead.
  12. First off, I hope the tradition holds and we get a 2nd place finish at lowest for Boston! Also, aren't their shirts always just ridiculously comfortable??? They're my favorite shirts of every season just because of how nice they are.
  13. Any word on if they're marching (weather allowing) tonight?
  14. Same here, I'm not what sure what happened but it finally clicked for me. I love it!
