Comes off the back of major visual staff changes. wonder if there's any correlation to a bigger issue.

That's almost satirical. Kinda funny, but I get it. These are kids.

There seems to be a lot of discussion about this on social media, but was it that Dan said the wrong thing? Or was it just a badly timed question? Discuss

Likely they'll go with pearl, as Paul had partnered with them previously.

Alot of WGI groups were still using Dynasty.

Is everyone under the consensus that DCI should SPLIT UP ALL 3 NIGHTS ONLINE, as well as offer a discounted package for bundling? Me no likey...

Top 3 for Sanford: Vanguard (would be nice for them to repeat) Cadets Blue Devils or Bluecoats

I like the way they put the links to each corps' facebook/twitter on the pulldown menu.

DCI has finally updated their website and it looks great! Check it out!

Man, i wish this would really happen!!!!! but it likely never will.

Crown might be good, depending on if they can get some good talent at auditions. I assume that Zach Schlicher isnt there anymore??

Hands down: Santa Clara Vanguard. #OhTheClarity so many rhythmic changes in that snare break alone pushed it over the edge for me. Love that drumline.

If vanguard can figure out how to really clean up some of their drill, they can push into the top 3. its gonna be tough to catch bluecoats but I think they can easily pass crown. the Jonz are giving the corps some great momentum going into finals week.

SCV gets a necklace with a washer on it that says "santa clara vanguard" and ageouts get to keep their feather (which are green of course)

HamFam. You're welcome.

I had to read it a few times but I get it!! Agreed

I was close I guess lol

Seems to be a general consensus that Rennick has since really good lines and I agrees. One of my favorites was actually 2001 crown. He had those guys playing some pretty clean notes. The corps was 12th that year but I wouldn't be surprised if the line was in the top 6 that year

What do you think about when you are analyzing the percussion program? What kind of things WOW non-drummers in a drum corps show from a percussion standpoint? Innovation? Visuals? Notes? Discuss.

Crown is at Forney HS

DRUMS ARE SMOKIN!!!! gotta keep that momentum! could finally be their year!

my feed wont work!!!

drums sound good so far.

After seeing the initial blueprint of the show. I dont think it will have the fire power towards the end of the season to repeat. The brass could 3 peat, but other than that, id say just another top 4 show.
