  1. People either never knew or chose to forget Blue Stars were a DIII/A60 powerhouse.
  2. This should ultimately result in growing their programming. The Milwaukee Youth Symphony Orchestra undertook a similar study 20ish years ago. Since doing so they have purchased their own facilities (it’s yuge!), increased their donor base exponentially, grown their programming to SEVEN! orchestras. Kids have access to programs as diverse as bucket drumming to an internationally touring orchestra and everything in between. https://myso.org/programs/
  3. I think it was made of wood. It had a “hey kids, let’s put on a show” quality to it.
  4. I was attacked on here by a couple people for criticizing that prop’s integrity. I think I called it overbuilt yet surprisingly unsafe. It’s good to hear Jim thought similar. I feel vindicated.
  5. Talent wise, Blue Stars were not an 11th place corps. I hope the members are given a product that’s able to come together over the course of the season.
  6. Are you resurrecting all the old threads that reference bodhran players? 😂
  7. How about that! It’s great to see Daniel will still be involved in DCI.
  8. Thanks for taking the time to comment, Ebenezer.
  9. It doesn’t look all that polished but that doesn’t bother me. You know darn well the Madison critics would complain about money spent frivolously if it were a slick, professional looking video production. Good on Madison for practicing thrift!
  10. Has SCV at anytime in the last month released a statement simply saying “We are performing an independent audit”? Is that too much to expect?
  11. It drives me up a wall that the cheese heads are the color of cheddar yet have holes like Swiss. Make it make sense! Maybe they should also have the aroma of Limburger?
  12. I should try to dig up my post from a decade ago addressing that exact topic with my local corps lol. Hint - my location rhymes with Milwaukee
  13. So you ended up not marching at all? Ever? I guess you showed them!
  14. No, none whatsoever! My only past time is living vicariously through my fellow nerds on dcp
  15. I’m thinking Anaheim Kingsmen, VK or Freelancers
  16. If I read another bio with “so and so comes to us with a wealth of experience” I may just lose it
  17. If you’re chasing a ring wouldn’t you limit your auditioning process to one corps? 😈
  18. The rescinded Blue Devils contract made it on here but not the Crown contract. I would love to give Crown the benefit of the doubt for maybe not knowing his background
  19. The member behind the Spirit incident comes to mind. Their contract with BD was rescinded for ‘22 but Crown accepted them for ‘23. I find that reminiscent of religious organizations that shuffled abusers about
  20. I would love to see a corps do a Jacques Demy/Michel Legrand inspired show . This is a jaunty tune with some fun riffs. The solfège section brings back music theory trauma but I can overlook it lol https://youtu.be/0S8_x-qOCBI?si=cWPiISfTH6eGplZN
