I know they weren't 2nd place, but let's not leave out 1998 Tarheel Sun.
I agree. Third place was unjustified. At least they finished before Spartans and Patriots (1st and 2nd place Division II that year) in open prelims.

You can read my review on amazon.com under new and associates. But to some it up... I think the book is a great narrative of drumcorps with tidbits of nostalgia and a warm fuzzy feeling that only drum corps can generate for a junkie like myself. Highly reccomend the book.
-
After Crowns rendition of 'Rent' last year, I was quite nervous about hearing a pop song on the field. Nevertheless, Crown's lush sound really pulled 'Angel' off even though it's not my favorite arrangement.

Overall, I think the Scouts have always known how best to script an ending.
except this year...

I was thinking about Carter-Finley the other day (I'm a State student). But it took me back to a conversation I was having with some work friends, discussing whether we could host a big climate conference in Raleigh (I'm in meteorology). And we couldn't think of anything to do in Raleigh (for example, we had a climate conference in Savannah in June...Savannah has the river, the river front, just darn pretty in general). I know I made the same complaint about Charlotte above, but in Raleigh, even worse I think.
Yes Raleigh is a much worse vacation spot than Charlotte. Great place to go to college, great place to raise a family, but not a great place to take a week vacation if you want to do things other than watch drum corps.

hey conner,
make sure your parents meet the staff and some of the other corps members. Usually, parents are more malleable when they know who you'll be spending your summer with.
also, make sure you are ready to march. For some kids, marching at 15 is great and many continue on for more years. As for myself, I found it difficult to be a fourteen-year old and march with 21-year olds. Didn't continue past one year mainly because I wasn't ready for my first summer on tour.

The purpose of a tease is to get people to tune in. Who said anything about
drum corps being about a single guest performer? How many ESPN viewers,
who know nothing about drum corps, are going to tune in if the tease is "tune
in to see a unified group of individuals all striving to be their best together'?
Again, you have 15 seconds (not a couple of minutes like the quarterfinals intro)
to "tease" someone into checking out you broadcast...keeping in mind the tease is
on ESPN.
Yes, I understand that the purpose of a tease is to entice the interests of a viewer. I was just stating that I feel showing 15 seconds of an individual would be a bit misleading. I personally would be ###### if I tuned in with the intent of seeing Carmen and only got a glimpse of her for a fraction of the two hour broadcast. Heck, I was ###### that Carmen was hyped on this forum and yet didn't appear in Madison's show for a good portion of it.
Just think that a tease can be intriguing without promises that cannot be delivered.

tried to buy corps car window cling stickers (at a So Cal event) - cuz you can take 'em off and put 'em back on but nobody I asked had them :(
in case anyone is listening - please carry these so I can cover the back window of my car! b**bs
Cavies have a static cling window decal in their online store. Is this what you're talking about?
-
hmmm... I think the purpose of a tease is to give enough information without giving away the whole package. For some reason, I just don't see how any of these options give any indication of what the coverage will entitle. After all, since when was drum corps only about a single "guest" performer. I thought it was about a unified group of individuals all striving to be their best together.
I think that the clip that they show at the beginning of the live broadcast of quarterfinals would be the most effective.
-
Would you rather DCI not show anything at all?
Never... Unless they drop the 2005 DVD price to less than $50, I'll never get the opportunity to see the great performances of this year again. I will happily take whatever they give me, and heck I'll record it again just like I do every year.
-
In no particular order...
Phantom Regiment
Madison Scouts
Cadets (odd, but nonethless entertaining)
Crown
BAC (first show I've liked in a REALLY long time)
*how could I forget the Bluecoats (maybe 'cause ther'es no APD). Anwyays there's my 5... err... I mean 6
-
I always like your posts.
I second that!

I think the first job of the producer is to evaluate what the overall purpose of the broadcast is going to be. obviously, we really can't say what is or is not best for the DCI production since none of us (at least from what I can tell) have no way of knowing what the overall objective is.
With that said, I personally think that the behind the scenes footage is a more comercial way of taking the production, especially if the purpose of this move is to gain wider apeal and/or bigger sponsers. After all, millions of people enjoy watching shows that follow the daily lives of average joes like you and me thrown into a new environment to ultimately compete for some prize. America likes to see real people strugling, crying, sweating, yelling, etc... Personally, I think that the behind the scenes are where drum corps memories are made and we should be proud for the nation to see that we are a worthy sport and art. Sorry, but the average Joe just wouldn't be able to see that from a Z-pull or an Iceburg.
Nevertheless, as a drum corps junkie I'd prefer to see full finals coverage from Spirit to Cadets... from beginning to end... from the national anthem to the retreat (did they have one this year?).
-
quality!
-
I bet their brass score will be right there with Cadets tonight.
I wouldn't be surprised either considering they were only behind .1 last night.
-
What are some other of those quotes?
"I'll show you later" said by tenor player to Jessica when asked "What does it take to be a bond girl?"
-
Was the corp starting during the announcer sequence normal? I'm assuming yes since the DM didn't salute and started the show before the 'On the field ...' sequence was finished, and presume that it was part of the show concept.
Yes, their on field warmup is more like an unscored introduction to the show. Not the first time Cadets have done this though.
-
For thos interested, the Blue Devils website has warmp up clips of diffrent corps. I think right now they have Mandarins gaurd, Spirit and SCV drumline clips.

Sorry. This Diet Dr. Pepper is making me type funny. j/k
understood. aspartame can do that to you sometimes. Thanks for the link though. Might have to use it when I try to explain to people why I'm driving four hours to Charlotte on a Wednesday night!

Anyone care to average all the finals scores to see who has the highest average score? Just a suggestion from another drumcorps fan too lazy to search corpsreps.com
