Okay, I just lost it. :lolhit: Thanks for the review, too.

Okay, I'll call it the Anti-Hopkins Borg. If you're part of the group I was talking about, it's pretty obvious. Just as obvious as the Cadets Borg. The comments about the cadets and hopkins are pretty patented on both sides of the spectrum. And like I've said in the my last 3 posts in this thread, if the impact of the anti-hopkins borg dissastisfaction is great enough, things will have to change.

I'll see how similar they sound soon enough, I guess. Thanks.

Please, post a review when/if you get a chance. :)

Interesting. Which shows are you talking about?

Same here. I love SCV, but I'd like to see BK get back up in the top 8 again. I've heard their ballad this year is killer, and if it's anywhere near as awesome as their '99 ballad, I'll be happy this Sunday. :)

DIVISION I 1 Santa Clara Vanguard 79.650 2 Blue Knights 79.300 3 Seattle Cascades 61.900 DIVISION II 1 Oregon Crusaders 75.550 DIVISION III 1 Spokane Thunder 58.400 Wow, BK is smoking. Took lots of captions, including both visual and music GE, colorguard and visual performance. SCV is beating them in all music captions.

Traveling costs have also skyrocketed over the past few years (mike beat me to this one, heh. :P). Perhaps that has something to do with increasing ticket prices, though prices always have and always will go up. Anyway, this is all pure speculation is my point. If they're losing so much money due to yours and others' dissatisfaction, they'll have to change a lot more than ticket prices. And, like I said earlier, we're in the first couple of years of corps using equipment that the petition signing crowd protested. Even the most vehement of the Cadets/Hopkins haters who signed that petition (or didn't, or couldn't) might just find enough merit in DCI shows to stick around. It'll take some time to figure it all out one way or the other, I should think. What you guys are offering is speculation...I'im just doing the same here. And I couldn't care less if DCI got rid of amps etc.

All I'm trying to say is that if money flow is affected enough by the anti-Cadets borg, DCI will know. If it's as great as you guys make it out to be, they'll have to make some changes.

Where's the info that says enough people have left to provide impetus for them to react the way you and Jeff want them to?

Where's the info that supports your statement?

If it's more than a few, DCI will be among the first to know.

i don't know what that is, gil. sorry.

Just click on "chat" in your aim window, and invite yourself to the room called drumcorps. That's for aim triton. not sure about classic aim. sorry.

I don't know how it works. PM me your aim name and I'll invite you.

So many scores and things to discuss. Go to the room called drumcorps, or pm me and I'll invite you. :)

78.75 for BD? Wow, really low. Guess the west coast scores were super duper inflated this year.

If that's true, good for gmen. :)

Sounding what? :) If anybody wants to chat, it's in an aim chatroom called drumcorps. Or you can pm me and I'll invite.

No need to get all worked up about it. I was just thinking out loud. :P
