Interestingly enough- it's always midnight somwhere in the world, regardless of if it's light or dark where you are ;) AND if it's midnight where you are, there's daylight somewhere else. So, you can actually say seemingly contradictory statements: Yes, it's dark at midnight No, it's not dark at midnight and both statements will be true, without creating a logical fallacy! It's all a matter of your point-of-view. For what it's worth, I used to think that 87 SCV got robbed, but I have to agree that their brass line just didn't bring it hom efinals night- they got over-hyped and lost sound quality towards the end of the program, and that is what cost them on the sheets. 89 Phantom, at one point I though should've won, but after listening/watching all shows and serveral years later I changed my mind because 89 PR's percussion feature doesn't seem to fit into the show as well as it should, and the drill for that section seems to be a GE letdown... These are just my opinions, not meaning to bash either corps- especially considering that I actually prefer these shows to the winners, even though I now agree that they probably placed as they should. It's all opinion and perceprtion, and these things can change over time. Everyone has their own criteria. Star 93 were the real winners though ;) What they won wasn't DCI finals though, they won the great game of "let's so who'll be remembered longer" ;) In my opinion, of course ;)

Now THIS is an idea that can go far. Best of luck with it.

I've always felt that the Kanstuls play the best. The thing that disappoints me is that they don't tend to be as durable as some of the others. I was constantly cracking braces on my old axe... Of course this was a much older Kanstul (mid to late 90s vintage). I believe the newer ones aren't as easy to break.

Impressive math Dan, I guess you've gotten the hang of using spreadsheets ;)

Would this proposal allow nuclear weapons on the field? If so, count me in.

I really dig the fact that people still talk about my ageout year 13 years later! Our caption head was one of Donny VanDoren's "disciples" so he never passed up an oportunity to let us show our respect for the great one! Playing to Star on retreat at Marlboro, mass that year was a great drum corps moment that I'll always remember.
