  1. Agreed. The Hurcs guard had zero class on retreat that night. It's funny how they behaved after losing the guard caption they "assumed" they'd win... compared with the Buccaneers organization, who had a 6 six year win streak snapped the night before. Reading deserves kudos for being the classy champions that they are. I've heard nothing but great things about how they handled their loss to Minnesota. Class act. Congrats to MBI. Amazing.
  2. Also, many kids who march DCI do so for 1 or 2 years, for whatever reasons, i.e. time, money, work, school. There may be many cadets alum who have not yet reached the ripe old age of 21 marching with C2. You will have some 18, 19, 20 year old Cadets alumni with them. Not just 22-25 year old age outs.
  3. I don't think that would ever happen, would it? I will say, the new uniforms bug me. I love looking at the alumni's uniforms... those would be the original? The competing corps kick pleats were made smaller, but they don't look right, some aren't hemmed right and sit 5 inches off of the ground. I thought the Inspires uniforms were fantastic! I would imagine if the Muchachos were still around they would have graduated into exactly that. It would be cool to take the Inspires uni and put a zipper at the kick pleat, so that they can be closed during performances, then unleash the pleat for retreat, parades, etc. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Cabs fan and love the uniform and tradition. Coolest thing in DCA. However, this year in particular, the uniforms seemed to be holding them back.
  4. I'm not 100% certain, but I feel this is the first time Cabs came to their first show with an incomplete show. Is this true? Anyway, think of all the times Bush came out with 1/2 a show, and wound up cleaning house come DCA weekend.
  5. Well, technically, a bugle has no valves... those "G Bugles" were actually "G Trumpets".. and now they have switched to Bb trumpets.
  6. Example... Cabs 2004. Probably my favorite Cabs show ever, edging out 1976 by a pinch. All original music by Key Poulan... show was awesome and moving!! Can't wait to hear what's in store this summer from the folks in Hawthorne
  7. That is hysterical. I guess then according to you there should be a new caption called "Intertwining" haha Bucs, Minnesota and Cabs all had more demanding shows then the Hurricanes. IMO.
  8. Agreed, I thought that sans their guard (which was phenomenal), they were 5th. IMO.
  9. ?? You've been getting screwed for about 28 straight years, right? You placed where you placed, no one got screwed. DCA does a great job considering how good all the corps have become. Just accept it like a man.
  10. I didn't really get this either. From 2003 on (2004 especially) I feel the Cabbies have been been stepping it up visually, if only in terms of speed and demand. Especially compared to the Hurcs for that matter. But I was there Saturday and it was definitely a much deserved win for the Hurcs, great job guys. Guard was amazing. It's good to see an "old time" corps back in the heap and mixing it up!
  11. Why is it taking so long? haha just kidding. But would really love to hear some 2008 Cabbies.
  12. Why no videos of camps/rehearsals, etc... ? Usually there are quite a few by this time of year. What gives?
  13. I just don't understand how you let something like that fall through...
  14. ...or even live. That hornline blew me away.
  15. It's on there with all the videos, check the "60th Anniversary" section. They've been keeping them there all year. Thanks Cabs, for posting all of those!
