  1. 4K, HDR, and Lossless Atmos on disc. See me dreaming with you!
  2. As a resident of Oakland, we badly need this. Music in OUSD is virtually non-existent thanks to major budget cuts. Not one of the high schools in the district has a marching band though some do have orchestras. Oakland is fertile ground for music, and I am glad SCV sees an opportunity here.
  3. We won't know this unless they try or at the least investigate the possibility. Streaming wasn't built on folks like Taylor Swift. It started with much smaller acts, and the big names jumped in.
  4. Streaming beats both of them by a long shot. "Just over 41 million vinyl records were sold in 2022, to the tune of $1.2bn" "Revenue from streaming, which includes "paid subscriptions, ad-supported services, digital and customized radio, social media platforms, digital fitness apps and others," grew 7% to a record high $13.3bn. It accounted for 84% of total revenues. Perhaps DCI should look into a streaming option - ad-supported, or subscription. https://www.bbc.com/news/64919126
  5. " In addition to threatening me she also made a wildly racist comment once (“the only thing I know about 3/5ths is they belong at the back of the bus” This is some sickening bunch of mess right here.
  6. The information you are quoting is incorrect, so I will accept your retraction on this statement.
  7. The Boston Crusaders Animal Farm show. At first, I didn't get it. As it unfolded during the season, the "easter egg" digs at the DCI elite became more apparent. I thought it was great even though it did not do particularly well.
  8. Just a guess. Roku B is closer to the router, and Roku A is closer to the extender. If I am correct, reboot the extender and see what happens. It sounds like you are having a progressive audio latency issue. This is why all of my streaming devices are wired rather than wireless. You avoid these kinds of issues by keeping as many things wired as possible.
  9. I second this. I have every DCI championship on DVD and Bluray, and if they kept coming I would keep buying. We are transitioning into a subscription and rent era where you own nothing. When it comes to my home entertainment, I would rather own it than lease it. I do not care if it is a physical disc or a digital download I can store on my NAS, I want control of the content I purchase.
  10. I love Tarpon Springs. They are hipper than hip for sure!
  11. It is clear from these comments that Flo's flow is going in the wrong direction.
  12. Yes, we did make a statement! That uniform died a pure evil death after the season was over.
  13. This is a very interesting proposition......
  14. I am not sure Drum corps would be dead, but it would certainly be relocated. Drum corps could be successful indoors in an arena size space much like they do in Japan and South Korea. If you want to save Drum corps, putting your head in an old-school bench "vise" is probably not a good idea.
  15. Can I guess your son's high school is Vista-Murrieta? If so, no wonder they encouraged drum corps. VM's band is very good.
  16. Tarpon has been my favorite band in BOA since 2010. Each year I cannot wait to see what they put on the field. The Tarpon Colorguard is just sick good. Year after year, they have one of the most difficult equipment books on the field.
  17. "Unfortunately 1 out of 5,6,7 or 10 in leadership would not constitute diversity. How many members of the entire staff on the Cadets are Black? 2?" The first part of my statement was general and did not apply to anyone (the Cadets nor any other organization was mentioned). The second part is the question does apply directly to the Cadets, and that is patently clear. Please read what is stated and not assume anything. If you need clarity, just ask.
  18. I did not imply anything, I asked a question. You are reading FAR, FAR, FAR, too much into my question. If you didn't like that question, you could have bounced on to the next one. You are supersop, not supercop, so relax, and move that flag pole out of thine nether region. I don't want your apology, and I didn't ask you a dang thing. There are a lot of posts that shouldn't be here, why don't you go play supercop with those.
  19. You need to pump your brakes here. I asked ONE QUESTION. Can anyone tell me how that is pushing anything????? You really need to chill on the overactive emotions.
  20. Unfortunately 1 out of 5,6,7 or 10 in leadership would not constitute diversity. How many members of the entire staff on the Cadets are Black? 2?
  21. I am floored, sickened, angry as hades, and profoundly sad after reading this. Color Guard changed my life in so many positive ways I would be exhausted trying to name them all. It's a love I embrace to this day, and I just can't imagine loving something so much, and then having such a bad experience doing it.
  22. I think the South Pole got jealous when the North Pole lured Santa Claus's headquarters, training center for flying reindeer, manufacturing and distribution plant there with very generous tax breaks and subsidies.
  23. Actually, its not a theory. A scanner can snoop on all frequencies being broadcast within a specific area. A person with experience using one could easily distinguish that traffic from a conversation happening between two, three, or four people as is scans through all its frequencies.
  24. IF they learned the skill, then that $5000 could pay them big dividends in the future. I basically got my start mixing from working as an intern. My labor was free (and was probably more than $5000 in the end), but what I learned allow me to get into film school, and then do quite well in the film and music industry. I would gladly pay $5000 to learn this skill.
