He also mentioned how excited the membership is with this years rep & plans If I may play Chuck Todd for a moment, the logical DCP question to follow is, "Are you excited now that you've been told?" For as Stephanopoulus would comment, "No DCI director would ever say his kids aren't excited and they think the music is ho-hum, would they?" Not breaking your shako of silence, just asking, Are you pleased? Edited April 24, 2017 by xandandl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've known since mid winter - I really like the sounds of the show but I don't want to be accused of "hyping" so thats as far as I'll go. The visual side of things will be critical IMO - the new drill guy is probably under more pressure than anyone - along with the guard/movement team to get that aspect back into the top 3. Drums should be very strong. Anyway - I am excited. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What they are doing can be phenomenal. It just depends on design. I don't envy Bobby Jones honestly.....hope he knocks it out of the park.

Plus of course the amazing job has has done with the Buccs in DCA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
