ADD Reviews: Quarterfinals - as seen through DCI Cinecast in Walled Lake, MI Since this is my last chance, I used lots of duplicates. MANDARINS Biggest little corps in DCI. SEATTLE Narration was better in Indy. CAPITAL REGIMENT FOR SALE: Sundial-shaped closet. That girl changes clothes fast! Most improved corps since June. XMEN Show designers shouldn't smoke pot. COLTS Music Man = Drum Corps? Yup. SPIRIT Where's the Phantom mask, Rondo? Always better with fluorescent green. GLASSMEN Trendsetter. Everyone's fluorescent now. Would Dvorak be proud? Scared? Mid-show nap always helps. SCV Spelled everything but SCV. Nothing to lose. Bottle Dance? Rondo traded dis for cake. BLUE KNIGHTS Judges say, "10th". Crowd, "14th". "Enchanted Evening." On after SCV. Pit: white man 'fro award. BAC New year, same design. Pink, white, watered-down Candide. CAROLINA CROWN Gorgeous. Gets me every time. More visual dirt than usual. Worst uniform for TV. BLUECOATS Power. Class. They're for real. MADISON New DVD feature: Carman cam! Biggest emotional range in DCI. New ending – still not working. BD When good corps go bad… Shhh...trying to watch DCI! Too late to change shows? Dance derby LASTS a century. PHANTOM 1920s guard - except the orange. When all else fails - orange! Tubas need more melodic lines. CAVALIERS Who took their Lucky Charms? Hats even goofier on TV. Need help hanging Christmas lights? 10,000 years bad luck nightly. 3D drill. Next year: jetpacks. CADETS I want a girl-making door. The surreal world. Season one? They killed the most judges.

All I meant in the SCV thing was the show is "Old School". I really just picked 1978 out of a hat...the specific year isn't intended to mean anything...though wasn't that one of the years Xmen played RCM? But then again...that's more than 5 words. :P

Here's a fun little thing. DCI reviews for the ADD generation. All shows reviewed in 5 words or less (except for a couple where I couldn't decide which review to use). KIWANIS KAVALIERS Division II isn't so bad. PIONEER Improving, still not quite there. TROOPERS Rifle joke stole the show. ESPERANZA Bright future ahead. MAGIC Strong foundation. Keep building. CAPITAL REGIMENT Concept making more sense. SOUTHWIND Tons of energy. Weird hats. SEATTLE Went unplugged. Good career move. MANDARINS 42 horns sound like 70. XMEN Ill-conceived concept. Goodbye finals streak. COLTS Poignant show. Sentimental favorite. SPIRIT Lush sounds. Solid finalist. GLASSMEN "New World", lots of orange. Highest cleaning bills in DCI. BK Technically proficient. Emotionally lacking. SCV Russia 1917. DCI 1978. BAC Drumset line adds variety. CROWN Ethereal & majestic. I believe. BLUECOATS Really need late season push. MADISON En Fuego...con Seniorita! BD Show feels like 1000 hours. They're tired. So am I. Talking behind me - now this... PR New Phantom - now with orange. Borrowing Glassmen's visual design. Gershwin needs orange, umbrellas. CAVALIERS Jazz, fire, baseball, Lucky Charms. Chicago needs your ladders. Chicago: ladders & funny hats. CADETS Definitely in "The Zone"

Need 1 ticket for Indy. Upper deck, lower deck, next to your fat, smelly Uncle Harold...whatever! Please email dcp@bucketoflizards.com John Weldy Bluecoats 93-94
