http://www.today.com/video/a-today-tradition-revived-watch-this-high-school-band-march-into-our-studio-816056387965 Take a close look at the flashback montage as they introduce this tradition--and count the different DCI uniforms you can spot! Happy early Thanksgiving DCP!

The Glassmen have met their goal and are now pushing for a stretch goal! Check out their Kickstarter for more and donate if you can! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/780196925/glassmen-winterguardthe-first-step-back

Anyone that put on a Glassmen uniform got to experience this: 'Nuff said.

These guys are Dutch--fun folk to be around, actually. http://www.advendo.nl/ https://www.facebook.com/AdvendoSneek

I'm guessing they can only let people in as fast as people are moving...

With their new color scheme, my vote is for Crown. There's something about that particular palette that sparks the imagination for this material. I would also like them to vary the programming, too, a la Phantom and Spartacus--maybe some R.W. Smith, but accompanied by other material as well. There's plenty out there that could be a good fit!

Which group is that? I'm not as familiar with the national high school scene. Gracias!

<3 to Red Team and the families.

I would love to hear Phantom play "Amazing Grace" once again... Could never figure out why they put that one away.

Phantom. /thread

I'm with you all the way there, Boo, but even so... I can't help but wonder what kind of acoustic environment it would yield. Something tells me it would be fantastic.

Please and thank you, Garfield! Any further education is much appreciated.

Hey, that's the Ham Fam! Awww yeah

Let's see if this works.... Posting the picture, I mean.

Agreed. I have always wondered why this has been so, both historically and currently so prevalent. They also had the brand and organizational strength of the maroon and gold behind them. Perhaps there's a correlation? And how does this phenomenon help the activity in terms of new units forming?

I was a North American Fall Webworm in my past life. Ahhh, those were the good old days... What were you in your former life?

Bravo, Matt! I too love that venue. There's something about that particular combo of intimacy and acoustics that make it a great place to perform or see a show. Among my most recent memories of that venue were SCV's company front in 2009....

The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.

Agreed, btw--both DCI and individual corps should be tapping the various states' marching band finals.

Fascinating. I know in the past, the de facto Illinois state championships have had either print ads, or physical table presence, by a number of corps. I can recall sporadic representation over the years by the Cavaliers, Phantom, Madison, Blue Stars, Colts, and Glassmen, if not others.

Sweet! I can hear it already.

Has there been mention of looking out for ALL corps from these organizations? Honest question.

Rated five stars, Garfield! Thanks again for shining light on things for us unenlightened

I am reminded of a Chops, Inc. show... "Would You Like Some Fries With That Shake?"
