From the first post on this, I thought it was just the announcement of the DVD. But after looking at it, it's downloadable immediately. It's 40 min. of the 90 min. DVD. I did it and it was really excellent. I am crazy about these tour DVDs. It also has the whole show. I can't believe that. Have any other corps had downloads on their DVDs before? I think it is a really good idea. Debbie

I would love to hear your booming voice Ryan. I think when the time comes you should go for it! (Are you coming over to Englewood on Sat?) Debbie

Dare I say a little parity? Do you think the ability of the corps to have a more even practice schedule had anything to do with the multiple placement movements on Finals night? I have just wondered since that night. Debbie

Good poll. So many times when I read discussions similar to this, I am always thinking, not only do Coats have to win, but someone has to lose......and which one is going to step up to that plate. Cavies, BD, Phantom? And when I think of it in those terms, after the history of the last 35 years, it almost seems impossible. But I know it will happen and why not Coats? Does anyone else think like that? Debbie

Blackstar commented on the hi-waisted. I was wondering why all the uniforms are the high waisted now. I realize they look fantastic, but do you think there will come come a day when the diversity of cut will ever re-appear? Or, since this cut looks so good on everyone, has this become the standard? And if this has become the standard, what else could be done besides color and embellishment? I like the uniform. Are you working on any T-shirts? Debbie

How aaaarrrreee yaaaaa Andrew?! (mimicing Melissa.) Don't give up on getting in touch with him Wes. Next year is his age out year. I believe it is number 5. He is a wonderful and delightful person. I had the honor of housing him this year. Got a hug and a smile every day. And I'm sorry I never PMed you back. But I did know about it as did Mark. I was gone for almost 2 weeks before leaving for Finals. I didn't have access to a computer until I got back and by then it was a moot point. What a great week Finals was. Lake Mills is such a nice place to practice. We were all so proud as I can tell you are. Have a good weekend. Debbie

I very much like the uniform and think I get the concept you were going for. I am having a hard time between 1 and 3......maybe leaning towards 3. But I do like the 3rd color in 1. I too would like to know why you picked Pacific Crest. And why a uniform instead of a oh, say, T-shirt like the one you made for the BK tour shirt? This could be a "calling for you!!!" Debbie

I went for B. I thought the corps were particularly good this year. It was in Madison......and who would not be happy with all the surprise movement in placement Finals night. It felt like a competition! Debbie

Just wondering if anyone noticed the new feature on BK site under SCORES. It has a variety of interesting info all in one place about any corps. Go to the bottom and select corps and season and interesting stats come up. I was trying to think of any I would like to see added. Debbie

I looked at it. I wasn't going to open it.....I swear......but......#%*&........and now again I feel foolish. Debbie

Volunteering.....the absolute greatest feeling in the world. Debbie

I know I saw a thread about this before, I did a search, but still can't find the answer. Would someone please help me? Thank you, Debbie

DATR is not a DCI operated regional show. However, we do always have our own shirts and patches. Debbie, BK Boosters

I can't imagine how much all those extras mean to those kids. And as an adult, I really enjoy listening and watching them. I wish they were there for 7 - 12.
