I was thinking 9th as well, and I haven't even seen the panel in place tonight. Who is it?
EDIT: Never mind. Saw the thread.

But please let the visual designer go.
I completely, vehemently, 100%, as vociferously as possible, disagree.
I think Leon's design is absolutely top-notch. It's championship-caliber design for sure, IMO. Blue Devils are just a bit better this year, which isn't something they can really control.

I understand that the question under examination is whether music is an art form, but I thought I'd post this topic that I started a while back. In my opinion the topics are connected in a relevant manner.
By the way, I voted yes. Music is most definitely an art.

Is the multi-cam fixed now? I'm still watching on high-cam.

Nice rotating atom set there.
Some of the horn players in the front of that form were truckin'.

Kids don't be like Brandt: if you're talking about the Boston NBA team, it's pronounced "seltic."
For every other use of the word, it's said as "keltic".
That's adsurbity.

I especially liked the visual design of that show. Not world-beating, but very solid, and well-designed to its personnel, I suspect.

I'm liking this Cascades show. Hadn't seen it before today.

Please explain to me how every single World Class score goes up from San Antonio to Murfreesboro except the Colts their score went down.... (Oh sorry Madison stayed the same another Trooper competitor). Seems to me there is some #### judging going on....Can anyone guess why? Of course you can but my question is who will have the guts to say it. Oh and by the way the Colts have improved since San Antonio....but according to the judges they are the only corps out there to actually get worse. It's beyond fishy is flagrantly shameful and lends a cloud of doubt to any conclusion to the 12th spot this season.
Unless it's the Colts?

Hop uses TwitterFon...yikes.
Here you go, Hop:
.....um, I like TwitterFon.....

As "the other guy" being inducted into the HOF this year, all I can say is that what has me flabbergasted and speechless the most is how George wasn't inducted into the Crossmen Hall of Fame years ago. And hey, I understand that the relationship between the Crossmen and YEA was not perfect. I don't think many will dispute that. There were many ups and many downs for sure. But the undeniable fact remains that without George and YEA getting involved, the Crossmen would have folded in the autumn of 1995. It is also undeniable that YEA spent well over a million dollars over the years helping to keep the Crossmen alive, when they certainly could have just done nothing and rid themselves of another east coast competitor once and for all.
If the author wants to stop supporting the corps because of this, that is his or her right. All I can ask is this...how grateful are you that the Crossmen are still on this earth, giving so many young people the chance to be a part of such a rich and proud legacy spanning over three decades? Truly, how grateful are you that the drum corps universe still counts the Crossmen as one its active participants when so many other great corps have faded away forever? There are certainly many many people to thank for the fact that the Crossmen are still here for us to discuss all these years later. George is most definitely one of those people, and as such, I'd like to think that EVERY Crossmen, no matter what they might think of the man (whom most have probably never even met), could find the strength within themselves to say THANK YOU for his very significant contributions to the efforts of keeping the Crossmen in existence.
I'm honored to be inducted into the Crossmen Hall of Fame alongside George Hopkins.

Hang on, folks. I suspect this thread's going to take off, and it'll be a bumpy ride!

iTunes is now updated through yesterday (the "Tuning up the Red Violin" episode).

Back in MY day, we didn't have the "interwebs." We stood on our roofs and yelled scores from house to house until we knew who won, AND WE LIKED IT! And we didn't have "computers." We have empty cereal boxes with little elves, who ran back and forth calculating scores with their mini-abacuses. And instead of moniitors we had thin sheets of cellophane and candles. AND WE LIKED IT!

At this point, I'm surprised that more people think BAC will top PR than BD will best HNC. BD hasn't been touchable all year, while BAC and PR have swapped places a few times. Just interesting to me.
I went with BD and PR. And I freely admit that my vote for PR is a bit of homerism. Here's hoping that their adjustments clean up and stick!

WOW!!! Santa Clara beats Crown. Crazy. So happy for Vanguard.
Reading your post, I was struck by just how absurd (adsurb?) this post would have been just a few short years ago. Says a lot about how far the Crown organization has come. Way to go!

1000, maybe? Not quite sure.

Meh. Get back to us when you're a Fanatic.

I have to download that this year to watch Fan Network on my Mac and now everything if find.
Been up drinking a little, Michael? Little bit o' the bubbly?

Hey, have you heard about Flip4mac? I think that might be what you need.
-
Dunno, but I was wondering the same thing. iPhone needs updating.

And thank YOU, Tom, for all your work on the videos! They really are very enjoyable.
And I know I'll certainly be clapping louder at my next show. It might annoy my wife, as I'll be sitting in front of my computer watching FN, but I'll clap louder nonetheless.

Anyone else catch the DCP mention from Sylvester toward the end of his commentary?
-
Da-yum. I'd DL it. For sure.
Nice job, Hroth.
From 1st to 8th?
