Everyone should be shown respect.
Yep.

Miss those competitions at Huskie Stadium, but with episodes like this continuing to happen I doubt if DCI will ever consider going back to the NIU campus.
Not sure about 2011, but there was an open class show there in 2010.

the alamodome is a wee bit confusing with the entrances and exits and parking could be a problem. but there are neighborhoods close by so if parking is a problem, you could always park there and walk.
Actually... a lot of the areas around the dome aren't... the safest... and are on constant patrol for stadium visitors parking in the area. If something doesn't happen to your car in one of the neighborhoods, it will likely get towed. I wouldn't recommend it.

If you are looking for a professional staff, I would suggest contacting the local cooking schools in your area (i.e., Le Cordon Bleu, The Art Institute of (pick your citry)). There are many recent or soon-to-be graduates from these schools that are looking for experience, and a summer of drum corps is a bunch of experience in a very short period of time.
I've heard something similar to this mentioned before- trying to partner with a local school to have a summer drum corps food truck experience offered as an internship. Can't beat experience.

Tchesnokov.
I have a recording that is supposedly The Cadets playing it. I got it off of Napster in the early 2000s so I'm not really sure who it is.

Music from How To Train Your Dragon
... logic would point to Pioneer, but it could be pulled off by many corps.

I was under the impression that you do not need an actual wireless internet connection, just a wireless network connection (like when two laptops connect to each other through a user-created network and are not connected to WiFi). There should be a wireless broadcast system of some sorts on the systems, I believe.
I could also be totally wrong.

2004 Academy (Debut)
2009 Blue Stars (The Factory)
2002 Bluecoats (Urban Dances)
2004 Bluecoats (Mood Swings)
2001 Glassmen (IMAGO)
1994 Cavaliers (Rituals)
2007 Cavaliers (And So It Goes...)
2007 Madison Scouts (Unbound)
1988 Vanguard (Phantom of the Opera)
1998 Blue Devils (One Hand, One Heart)
Not sure how many people know Academy's 2004 show... worth checking out, I still catch myself humming the music. I absolutely adore The Factory and loved Houdini even more.
I spent months tracking down the piece that was the source for the flugel section of Glassmen 2001 (Concertino for Oboe and Strings by Brenno Blauth) to play at my senior recital I liked it *that* much.
The first 2 minutes of Madison's 2007 show are some of my favorite 2 minutes of drum corps ever. A definite visual treat. I feel like And So It Goes... is so overlooked because everyone wrote it off when it got announce as a Billy Joel show. Much of the music wasn't instantly recognizable but was great, and the drill was fantastic.
I much prefer Vanguard '88 to '89- not sure if I'm in the minority of people who have actually heard both or if '89 is the "favorite" because it won.

And then what happened? Did he pursue the situation with the ticket people?
I think he just did some seat-hopping, not sure he realized he could actually do/say anything about it.
-
At the DCI event? I was told those seats weren't even on the list to be available.
Yeah, it was for world class semis (just verified it with him).
-
You're a couple years late. This photo was on DCP months before we found out we would be going to Bloomington, and DCI does not sell those seats...and from what I've read, neither do the Colts.
Actually, a friend of mine asked for the cheapest ticket they had at the box office. He didn't find out they were like the ones in the picture until he got to them.
-
Judged? Crown's huge Mahler chord.
Not judged? Star. The one(s) that made us scream/laugh/cry/jump up and down. Yeah....
Honorable mention goes to the Blue Stars' mello line for pretty much everything they played/added to a chord.
-
you are missing something...a chance to revisit history and enjoy the legacy of an old friend, or in other cases, the chance to revisit the legacy of current friends.
in my group, 3 people didnt even know about drum corps, let alone Star when they left. They were thrilled to finally hear that music live.
This.
Getting to see/hear Star live was absolutely amazing- so many of us in the junior corps activity either now or recently never got to see Star live- I was only 8 in 1993 and didn't know what drum corps was until 2000.
It was an opportunity a lot of the "younger" people in the activity had only dreamed of.

Genesis (open class) will be staying at Jourdanton HS:
200 Zanderson Avenue
Jourdanton, Texas 78026

Congratulations to South Texas drum corps, Genesis and their first contest last night. Awesome job coming out of the blocks!!! Look forward to seeing you in a week and a half.

It must be so awful that Crown entertained people who have probably seen this corps once and will never see them again and probably called them a marching band.
Same parade, perhaps?
(No, it's not Photoshopped... I'm not that good)
-
So is someone on Twitter?
-
Every time I see your name it makes me smile and reminds me of my kids. My son is a drummer and my daughter who is with Crown as a mello was an oboist in HS.
Hehe, I started on oboe and picked up brass and percussion so I could march- finally rooked out playing bari. Who is your daughter? I probably met her at spring training.
-
The list of users/tweets at the show: http://twitter.com/CorpsScores/dci-7-03-lynn-ma but Fred isn't on the list this time. I believe the link to his Twitter was just posted :)
-
I think judges use 2009 as a "cheat sheet" for now...
God knows nothing like that has ever happened before. Especially not to Madison.
-
....easier to complain than to do some research and learn about the PR program?
Go to facebook and find PR there is a long video explaining the concept.
Or if you have an iPhone get the PR app.
In the video section is the same long explaination of the concept.
Understand first ... Then, if you must, shred.
'just there'? Hardly!
No. Not at all, no.
First off, I didn't read what you quoted as a reflection on a "lack of knowledge of the PR program."
But I digress... you shouldn't *have* to research a show before you go watch it. I'm not going to listen to every piece of source music and compare it to the show title, go to every single website and read every description, or even look for videos explaining what the show is about before I go to a show. I'm in Texas and shows aren't until late July and I STILL won't spend my time doing that.
Why? Because the show should be easy to understand without all of that. The overwhelming majority of people in the audience won't go that either. Saying you should go watch the video before going to a show is following in the same logic that you need your entire show narrated because it's too complex for the audience to understand by watching alone.

YES! Ready for some Rachmaninoff?
Way to spill it :P

Many corps try to keep various medical staff on tour- whether it be doctors, nurses, trainers, or a combination of those.
Would this be the group you were referring to? http://marchingmed.com/
Not sure when it was last updated or checked. I'll shoot you a PM with some more (though possibly outdated) info.
