Jeff Ream Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 This bothered me...anyone remember remember Parade of Champions show in Kingston last year. Yeah, I know I'm talking DCA but if the Caballeros could run around in a down poor and be judged why not the junior corps??? downpour is one thing. corps did it in Allentown last year. but lightning was miserable dude.

theCHEZman Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 The weather was constantly threatening. Some corps wore they shakes, hats, others didnt. Some had their electronics, others didn't. I can see the decision not to judge. PR pulled their guard off after the first minute due to rain and possible bleeding of their silks. BTW, I thought all corps performed very well..

greekmello Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 First time going to a DCI show. Beginning corps didn't have electronics, later corps did. Phantom guard left after opener. Bluecoats guard performed sans uniform. Liked some corps, others left me very bleu. BD has the most god awful show I've ever seen out of a potential champion. Some day they'll be a drum corps again. And march. And play. And march and play. I respectfully disagree about the BD show. I think it's brilliant. The listening responsibilities are incredibly difficult. I totally understand that it's not everyone's cup of tea though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LStover Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 How odd to not see my son on the field. How did they open the show? I wasn't there. A friend of mine texted me these pictures. All I know is that they didn't wear helmets and the guard didn't wear their uniforms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Standrews Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Just give them the trophy now. With no disrespect for anyone else's efforts (and there are a couple of excellent teams out there), BD's show is light years ahead of anything out there, in both concept and performance. Fred O. Agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George82 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Was this the same day that someone got hit & killed (6 others hurt) by lightning at the NASCAR race at Pocono? Seems like it was a call on the safe side. not just same day...same storm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supersop Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I hope you aren't talking about MetLife stadium. Cavies didn't even bring their electronics onto the field! Allentown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim K Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 (edited) In NY- Jersey they charge people $7.50 for a bottle of coke, $5-6 bucks for bottled water. You drink it down, go pee, a guy gives you a towel after you wash your hands and you think " hey, this is pretty sweet ". I say.. give me 3.50 cokes, 2 buck bottled water, and I'll dry my own hands in the bathroom after I go thank you very much. Don't forget $13 for a hamburger which was not as good as the one I paid $5 for at Yoccos in Allentown the night before with polite help who told me to comeback next year. Note to football fans, the prices will probably be much higher at the Super Bowl and you'll probably have to dry your own hands!

The prices paid last night are exactly the same prices paid at every football game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
