Wow, I just looked and the Scouts and Glassmen compete in the same show only once, Atlanta, before championships. Not much of a read for two corps that are 3-3 this season.
-
Nice jump Men of Madison!
-
Is it rumor or confirmed that there are no more intermissions?
-
Funny, I have been unable to narrow down their future placement also. I have BD and Cadets set for the top 4 and SCV and PR set somewhere in the 4-7 spots. How can I see CC beating BD and Cadets when I can also see them dropping below SCV or PR???
BUT, I do.Probably because I have the first half of their show in 1st and the 2nd half in 5th. Don't yell at me Crown fans I felt the same way about BD 07, it worked out OK for them.
-
Scouts guard also scored higher than Blue Stars earlier this week. BS were 6th in finals last year so I don't think this is a question of the drop by PR but a huge improvement by the Scouts guard and their new staff.

To the DCPers,
I rarely see DCP talking about Fan Network videos, so I'm letting you all know that the Madison Scouts have a few videos on the Fan Network available for your viewing pleasure (aside from the official FN performance uploads).
Carry on.
Chad, I really like the alumni clip, thanks for getting Bill Howard. You did a great job, Kitten's Dad
is proud of you. -
Good job tonight Scouts!
-
VOD ready go
Surprised you didn't have a "special" link...
-
I was hoping for the Scouts to pass Glassmen but I thought it was going to be by .1 or so. Good job men.
-
Great start SCOUTS!!

Don't forget to vote on Facebook for the Scouts to win $250k from Chase Community Giving!
-
Not gonna lie. I will not be voting for any corps. Mainly because I think helping charities that help underprivileged children, maybe in a 3rd world country, or come from awful homes, or the ones with diseases. I think the middle to upper class youth who can already afford 3k a summer should come as a secondary priority to the ones who don't know how long it will be till their next meal. Just my opinion though. I'll support anyone elses decision to vote4thecorps.
Certainly a good opinion BUT I'll quote the unsung lyrics from the Madison Scouts http://bit.ly/bUgu2O 1999 show.
"Surely you're not saying we have the resources
To save the poor from their lot?
There will be poor always, pathetically struggling
Look at the good things you've got!
Think! while you still have me
Move while you still see me
You'll be lost
You'll be so so sorry
When I'm gone."
prophetic?

So excited to see a 2010 show with these historical Scouts songs!!!!
-
I think if you could keep only one staff member from the 2009 Madison Scouts, the vote would be a "landslide tie" for Nick and Dann. Glad they got Nick back!

Donnie VanDoren is being UNDER-hyped by us DCPers??? I, myself, was guilty of posting the very first notice of a Scouts press release about the new 2010 staff. The headline was Jim Mason and I posted it that way. Donnie was mentioned in the Mason announcement but after that each additional staff member received his own press release. Today, Donnie finally got his and everyone has gotten so used to them that no one created a new DCP topic just for Donnie. Come on, he is in the
Hall of Fame guys, he reads these things , six hours , you are going to give him a complex... Scouts Announce Donnie VanDoren as Brass Caption Supervisor
http://news.madisonscouts.org/?p=242
Chris Komnick, Executive Director, and James Mason, Artistic Director of the Madison Scouts are pleased to announce that Staff Coordinator Donnie VanDoren will also serve as the Brass Caption Supervisor. In this position, Donnie will be taking a significant role in the development and management of the brass instructional program for the Scouts and will be directly involved in auditioning and selecting members for the corps. Donnie is concurrently the Chief Operating Officer and Casting Director for Mason Entertainment Group, a position he has held since 2005.

I guess this disagreement is resolved http://news.madisonscouts.org/?p=241
Again, if you read his resume, know his history at Star, and know anything at all about Jonathan, I believe you'll eventually come to the conclusion that he's going to be very involved with the color guard design (AKA.... VISUAL DESIGNER) at Madison.
-
I haven't heard anything that you stated except that the staff are former Star people. Big assumptions on your part.

OK, BigBadMadMan gets the soothsayer award. He was 3 years and 2 days early but he did predict this.

Ok ok ok....I'll spill....Madison's new director is Jim Mason....
of course, I have no way of knowing that and am in no way privvy to any "inside" information...it's purely speculation on my part. :P Sorry....
or am I? ^0^
no really, I don't know anything :P
or do I?
haha...ok, I'll stop now... :D
-
Oooh, and Donnie VanDoren, too. I can't wait to see what they've got up their sleeves...
Mike
I wonder if VanDoren is consulting with three corps now or if he is moving away from Blue Stars or Crown?

When I saw this show in Dallas, I told my friends that I didn't care where they placed because this is the most entertaining show. What a bonus for BAC to get a great score!

Congratulations Blue Devils

I was at the show and the performance was wonderful. As a parent of a FMM, I am much to biased to judge the score. I'm sure that the performance order didn't help. Those I overheard around me were split 50-50 between the Scouts and BK.
