This is unrelated to the performances, but does anyone know what happened to the field? That grass always looks perfect or close to it and it looks like they had a bunch of it actually die.
I was at the show with my brother who lives here in Denver. He said the yellowed grass was likely due to the professional lacrosse team that plays there (the Outlaws, maybe?)

App crashes when opening though. Hah.

Dang it. Thought Cadets would finish 10th.

If you want to see really idiotic commentary, check out the comments on the youtube
Fixed.

FN mest up again??
Appears to be. For me at least.

*** that was great!

Yes, the miced solos are not needed in BK's show. Good players too, so I felt bad for them that what we heard was bleeps, blips, and hickups. So sad.
It's funny, because when the mic started cutting out I wondered -- given the out-there nature of the show -- if it wasn't intentional, and supposed to sound space-aged. At least that's what I'd be telling the judges in critique...

I predict that most of the DCP Know-it-alls will predict Boston Crusaders in 11th, like they ALWAYS do. Count on it.
Only because they'll reserve 12th for Blue Knights, like they always do.

Absolutely loved this Crossmen show. Even though they may not improve on last year's placement I think this season has been a complete success for the corps. Keep it up!
I agree. I was really impressed with what I saw out of Crossmen this year. Hope they're able to keep building!

I think there will be changes still to come.
That's my thought, too. The ending drill felt a tiny bit incomplete to me, like they're holding a little back.

Cadevaliers, for sure.

I would guess it's to limit exposure to error. If the voice is recorded, that's one less thing that can be affected by fatigue, sickness, etc. The recorded voice is going to be the same every time. Plus, most of the time I've heard singing in drum corps, it's been somewhere between terrible and decent, but never great. Use a recorded voice and you can get exactly what you want, evey time.
That's my guess, at least.

OP, I trust you've voiced your concerns directly to DCI by now, and that you're just venting on DCP, right?

FYI, if anyone is traveling up here on I-35 from the south, allow yourself extra time. I got up here this evening, and due to road construction just south of Owatonna it took me an extra hour. 59 minutes to travel 7 miles, to be precise.

Yeah Mike, I saw the list, and am more than a little shocked to discover that in addition to being asked to leave my case of Coors and large cheese and sausage pizza in the car, I'm not even allowed to enter the stadium with a pack of Marlboro Menthols in my pocket.
Are they serious???
Don't touch my junk, man.
Not only that, but you might not even be able to buy it. As explained in this article, the govenment shutdown might result in MillerCoors having to pull its products off the shelves in Minnesota.

Unfortunate that some corps only get this opportunity maybe once in a season, if at all. Unfortunate for the corps and the fans.
To me, this raises an intriguing question: if you're a corps that will be doing a bunch of encores (say, 6 or more), should you spend more time preparing encore pieces than a corps that knows it will only be doing 1 or 2? I don't really have the answer, but I can see where a corps that isn't performing many encores might think that sacrificing the rehearsal time isn't worth it.
That said, I love when a corps has taken the time to put together their encore. It shows me that they're legitimately interested in entertaining the audience.

No way. Imagine, if you will:
1. Herbert Washington, micced, throws a 13.
2. On the catch, he lets loose a thunderous "HA!"
3. Lucas Oil Stadium collapses.
No thank you.
