  1. Maybe that's why so many of us look at DCI and laugh (or cry as the case may be). 

    It's not that they are penalized for being entertaining.  The penalty is for not being stand-offish and cow college high brow enough.  IMNSHO, the pseudo intellectuals with the clipboards are making a statement on the direction of the activity at the expense of the kids (as judges have been known to do so many times before).

    It shouldn't make any difference what they play if it incites the desired reaction. 

    (IMNSHO - in my not so humble opinion)

    In my humble opinion you should xxxxxxxxxxxx

  2. this season

    IS OVER!!!

    i knew pretty much at what i saw in san antonio that this years cadets show was weird, but VERY entertaining, and was the best product on the field..

    here is what i'd like to see

    #2 Tie BD and Phantom

    #4 Cav's

    #5 Bluecoats

    #6 Madison

    #7 Crown

    #8 SCV

    #9 Boston

    #10 Blue Knight

    #11 Colts

    #12 Crossmen

  3. i'm wondering how much longer we'll keep hearing these people complain about the narration in bd's show..

    please.. for the love of GOD!! FIND SOMETHING ELSE to complain about!!

    for the last time.. IT WORKS with their show.. how else could they describe that the show is a reverse of a dance derby??? NOBODY would have gotten that idea...

    and apparently some STILL don't, probably cause they're too busy complaining about the narration and not paying attention to whats being narrated..

    Good luck picking a show next year???? wow.. ... and what GREAT IDEAS do you have for a show???

  4. they are getting better i believe.. but.. its a little late... someone said they were an extremely young corps this year. and i remember watching in san antonio.. it really looked like a bunch of rookies out there.. yeah, they sound loud, but it wasn't anything like last year, and the marching technique, or lack thereof... i saw two or three guys/girls out of step, phasing everywhere in the feet..

    and my buddy said that he attended a vanguard rehearsal two weeks ago and said that the information the staff was giving them just wasn't very good information..

    this show could be a lot better, and score a lot better, but this years corps and this years staff just didn't have it together when they needed to.

  5. I heard most of the blue devils are getting over their "illness" they had for about 2 weeks. and its showing.. that 3 point gap is now a 2 point gap..

    Cadets Cavaliers Phantom Regiment AND Blue Devils are coming to Foxboro to tear the roof off.

    My Finals prediction:

    Cadets/Blue Devils - 98.8

    Cavaliers/Phantom - 98.4

  6. I just think its funny that after each major show, DCI would post a message on the front page about Cavaliers on top at San Antonio, Cavaliers on top at Murfreesboro...

    but yet.. nothing about Cadets end the Cavaliers undefeated season bid and Win at Indianapolis..

    i guess DCI forgot to tell the judges to let the cavaliers win in Indy...

    DONT DENY IT!!

    Things i've learned this season.

    slotting happens...

    people don't like vocals...

    DCI loves the cavaliers

    and apparently the cavaliers show is so easy a bunch of high schoolers can memorize/march/play the first 30 seconds of their show, in San Antonio.

  7. Do you realize that "DCI" is:

    The Cavaliers, The Cadets, Blue Devils, Phantom Regiment, Madison Scouts, Bluecoats, Carolina Crown, Boston Crusaders, Blue Knights, Santa Clara Vanguard, Spirit of JSU, Glassmen, Crossmen, Colts, Seattle Cascades, Southwind, Mandarins, Capital Regiment, The Magic of Orlando, Troopers, Pioneer,  Kiwanis Kavaliers and I believe some D-II and III corps as well?

    In light of this fact do you realize how inane this sounds?  Oh, you do?  Oh good.

    well no crap man....

    im just saying that dci wants their poster child to be the cavaliers...

  8. just sparking some controversy!

    was the poll ever really rigged?? is that story just made up so that cavaliers would get to go on last for two consecutive nights at two important shows..

    dci wants cavaliers to win... and i wouldn't be surprised to see them pull a fast one on all of us with the voting poll..

    hey it may not be much.. but it still gives them an advantage.

  9. their show has many good effects.. but its kinda weird how everything is placed within the show.. just my opinion..

    and about their visual package.. dirty dirty dirty.. these guys need to stop with whatever they are changing in the show and focus on foot timing, being in STEP, interval spacing, etc... its really taking away from their show right now..

  10. saw them in san antonio.. this show is weird.. VERY weird

    and ..... I LIKE IT!! all except for that the door in the middle of the field kinda gets in the way of drill when not being used..

    favorite part is the "twilight zone" theme in the end.. it wasn't as together as their early season apd.. but its still my favorite lick in their show

    and btw..

    the should have beaten the cav's in san antonio.. i would have put cav's in the mid 90's... cadets are the real frontrunner in my opinion

  11. i was at the show tonight, and i can only guess that the 6th place in brass came from dumb mistakes, i heard a euph come in the wrong spot while everyone was resting..

    personally i thought the drums and brass were off the charts!!! i did think that the music ensemble was kinda off.. sounded like some phasing between brass and field battery.. .. but thats just what i heard.. who knows what the music ensemble judge heard....

    so.. im calling it right now.. if you place 6th or higher in brass then its ok.. cause the top six all have SICK HORNS!!!

    very good year to buy the finals CD :blink::worthy:
