There are some amazingly realistic plastic instruments around today, like this one...

You'll have to ban yourself. :)

How old are these guard members they're looking for? I mean, cologuard? Isn't that like a stool sample test for people 40 and over?

Anyone who attends finals knows very clearly that Dan Potter says vuvuzelas are not allowed in LOS.

And your Open Class champion....Blue Devils D!

They have a plastic tuba... the only tuba I’d ever be able to afford

A left-handed Flugabari in C, with a sweet tone. Concert French Hornists might take to those rotors rather easily. Me, I'd need to have some synapses rewired, I fear. (I wonder how a plastic one would sound.) No doubt, somewhere in Japan, someone is working on an entirely 3-D printed horn choir.

The P-Horns, I think Some of the previous posts are pretty fair about, Jim. I fooled with a P-Bone where I get my horns worked on, and if you can't get a solid used horn cheap… I think they're a decent make-do as a starter instrument for someone wanting to learn and get the basics down. Cheaper than say.... one of those horns made of Chinesium one can find out there for not a lot of money but are kind of a mixed bag. I need to figure out if I want a Fiscorn, actually. Basically a kind of crazy rotor valved C Bass Flugelhorn that I've seen for sale at semi-reasonable prices. Thinking it might work for church gigs since you don't have to transpose and from listening to videos, they sound decent, well, I think I can get one to sound pretty decent. Thinking this thing might be a viable weapon for DCA I and E rather than my Euphonium…. and a LOT cheaper than a Cimbasso.

That young woman could get a good sound out of a #5 soup can. Plastic horns are ok when your 5 year-old thinks she wants to play trumpet and you're not sure she will actually stick with it, but they are probably a non-starter in drum corps. Then again, if you are starting a corps for 5 year-olds, they may be worth considering.

I’m so concerned, I’ve contacted Dr. Phil’s office about scheduling a Skype session with him.

A brief review: Vanguard yes please may I have another ill start listening to everyone else tomorrow

New director is a professional Hope they can survive this storm 😑

lip syncing acts pay the bills to televise. high school and college marching bands don't.

Also corrected the beginning to “eligible purchases you make...” as purchases was missing. The dcp thread still has the mistake but the Pioneer webpage has the correction. As least we can prove THIS was changed lol. Someone there is reading dcp, so who’s the mole lol

great video of the 2018 Boston Crusaders percussion section appearing at the recent PASIC convention - what a great opportunity for the members (if this has been shared already, apologies!):

Lots of great shows this coming year. Whitewater has its best lineup in decades, Crowns August home show has the top 8. Atlanta once again has all World Class corps in a fantastic stadium. Thank you DCI for a great schedule of shows.
