By the way, this conversation would make Dennis Dodd's head explode. "Band geeks" discussing FOOTBALL?!?!? What the...?

Your artwork is fantastic. Your taste in football teams: not so much.

Easy there, Cyclown.

Oxymoron: "It's pretty quiet here tonight" ---> "...Madison is on the field."

*crickets*

I just wanted to take this opportunity to reiterate how much I love Blue Stars' uniform. I really think it's one of the best out there.

Absolutely. Grab the popcorn.

Not worth the time or energy of a response. He's a tool. Nice work outta Garry in Vegas for getting some e-ink, however! edit: Sorry, Phil. Didn't mean to cop your verbiage in the very next post. You're right on.

I haven't seen them in performance, but I watched Phantom Regiment's coordination rehearsal on Saturday and didn't see anything electronic (besides pit amps).

I haven't watched the show on FN yet, but I'll just say this: Whether he is or isn't fired or quitting, Pete Weber (Webber?) has produced some of my favorite drill over the past few years. The man is uber talented, IMO, and SCV is lucky to have him.

Is Pete Weber still writing their drill? I've typically loved his stuff. edit: grammar

Haha...no worries! I like to give everyone a hard time.

I'm pretty accepting of most of the changes drum corps has seen over the years, but the addition of woodwinds is just too much of a change in the fundamental character of drum corps for me to enjoy it. I might attend a show every few years or so to see what's going on, but I wouldn't be "into it" like I am now.

Anyone know whether Cavies had their full show on the field tonight?

Yeah, I'm gonna stick to not comparing scores across shows. Colts were a hot mess tonight (on the webcam), and from what I'm hearing Blue Stars are clicking very well - although I haven't seen either live. I'll wait until they're all head-to-head (-to-head).

I was a little worried about that spread before the show. Hadn't seen or heard anything about Cavies, but was concerned about PR after talking to people "in the know" and watching them rehearse.

via Twitter: Governaires: 63.8 Mbrass: 73.1 Colt cadets: 57.6 Racine scouts: 49.1 Spirit: 63.7 Scouts: 63.7 Regiment: 72.7 Cavaliers: 75.1 Bstars: 66.2

I was using #drumcorps all day today at corps rehearsals.

Apparently not the people in Stillwater...it's sold out.

Anyone out there at the show tonight? *crickets*

I've complained about this in prior years, but I'm sorry: there's no excuse to still be wearing rehearsal blacks during the first shows of the season. In fact, I think it was after seeing Glassmen last year in Coon Rapids that I was irritated.

Yep, you need Flip4Mac/Quicktime. PM me if you need help. Seriously, WMV? Aren't we over that by now?

Sounds like it. They did it last night, too.
