All Activity

They are and have been diagnosing the problems correctly the past year (imo). I’m still not getting my hopes up until we get better verifiable info and evidence than what I have. We are going to get slammed with snow here too. It’s been a while though. Kinda looking forward to it. Stay safe, buddy!

If true, they should be summarily dismissed from the judging ranks. However, in a subjective activity there is no way to prove it. A judge could rationalize almost any placement save something nearly inconceivable like Pioneer beating Blue Devils in brass back in the day, or Indiana football winning the football championship 🙂

All that sounds very promising!!! We have a big snowstorm coming to the NC mountains this weekend, Can't wait for spring!

Yea, percussion seems directionally headed the right direction. The staffing, talent, and musical balance meshed well with brass this year, and fingers crossed, that trajectory continues. I have no read or inside info yet on colorguard recruitment yet, though the staffing additions seem promising. And the way, they are structuring Rosey (sp?) as a primary Design Team core member who mostly works with Artistic Director and Drill by secondarily liases more with CG is a potential sign of improved focus on guard staging, choreography, and integration. I’ve even heard rumors that Rosey and Keith may be writing some drill in the show with Jeff….of course. I like that idea as Jeff has talent but is hampered by being unable to modernize to modern drill/staging needed for show design. A team approach might work well at finding a new visual balance by leveraging their collective team talents. Of course….all these are rumors from the web. Will just have to wait and see what actually turns out to be fact vs fiction.

Awesome to hear the percussion talent is up. Bodes well for the season, and I’d assume the same will be the case for guard given our great guard staff and KP returning.

Dang it, it’s not yet 😢 Time marches on, slowly.

I would choose the 50-yard line only, no hash marks setting with random bad haircut ticks.

So can we look forward to Rondinaro '26 video game where we can pit corps of different eras against each other?

🤷‍♂️ I'm quite certain we aren't the first posters in DCP (and prior, RAMD) history to make a comment beyond the scope of the original post 🤪

Coming soon to DCI: recruitment via NIL payment to members! 🤪

That raises more questions, like... what if the NFL banned personnel change announcements until March 1st? And should corps fire caption heads mid-season if they are losing?

At least their YouTube videos can legitimately be titled “not the cadets.”

So yes, the last minute drop for Boston DID happen in 1990. It doesn't matter which show it was that week. The bottom line was that BAC was in fact in 11th earlier that week but somehow dropped 4 placements on the next night. Heck, we even had a female visual judge tell us ON HER tape congratulations that we "finally made it". And a similar thing happened four years later. Let's not pretend it didn't.

I haven’t heard much outside of the usual statements we hear reported from all corps about strong recruitment. Crowns brass member retention is expected to be the same as other years. Percussion talent was up substantially. No word on guard recruitment yet.

And this year you could add college football for both coaches & players. 😄

OT: So -- who has had more staff turnover: DCI or NFL?

Boston was 15th at quarters. They won the prelims shows which did have Spirit and Dutch Boy behind them as well as Bk. then Thursday, add in Freelancers who were a finalist in 89 and things scrambled

a friends son got a callback, but didn't get a contract. the competition for snare was intense.

well Legacy has been polarizing since their launch.

If it's not, it should be!!!

They had a LOT of people trying out for very few spots the last camp I saw. The smell of fear and anxiety was off the charts. 🙂

The same thing happened to them in 1990.

Not really but I think the silence is a continuation of what they’ve done the last few seasons and they haven’t disappointed. Looking for big things from Regiment this year.

Checking in again, any camp details? Is it May yet?
