Interview with Nate Boudreaux
SNModdison replied to Terri Schehr's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
He made it sound like he's going to take the whole first season before really implementing any change. I sure hope he has good ideas how to make the activity viable moving forward. He wants to think outside the box to figure out how to get more revenue and sponsorships and to get DCI back on ESPN even was mentioned. I appreciate him doing this interview! I'm cautiously optimistic. -
There are a lot of great shows to catch up on since 2005! Enjoy your journey! I always find watching every summer therapeutic and it reminds me that I have a deep passion for music and this activity. Since moving to Texas, I am able to watch more shows in person than I ever could in Seattle. I enjoyed 2023 more than any year. I've had to work extremely hard to not care as much about scores and more about how the shows make me feel inside.

I am trying to figure out what will be streamed this week on Flo. There is no information on their app detailing which days are going to be streamed. If I remember correctly, last year was Prelims performances up until the theater broadcast and then all of Semis and Finals nights. Does anyone know if this is the same this year? I apologize if this has been asked previously, but I couldn't find a previous post.

Let's Talk About the Blue Devils...
SNModdison replied to Cappybara's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
I used to love BD, especially in the 90's. I auditioned for BD when I was 20. They were my first choice. I totally understand why people want to march their. Sadly, I have enjoyed very few of their shows in the last 20 years. Sigh. I hope all the members of every corps have a great season and enjoy performing their butts of for us! -
Local Corps Startup Costs?
SNModdison replied to JimF-LowBari's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
I've had this same question for years! As someone who lived in Seattle for many years, I know how hard it was to recruit local members into the Cascades organization because there were so few marching programs. I moved to the DFW area over 7 years ago and the number of big, quality marching band programs here is insane. This area could totally support a drum corps. There are marching members, staff members and money in a lot of these programs. Let's do this! -
I completely agree!
-
I saw that too. I'm anxious to find out who they hire.
-
I'm anxious to hear about Crown's percussion staff.

DCI Tour Premier?? 6/28/22
SNModdison replied to Maddogicatron's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
This show will contend, I think. Mature. -
This show was amazing! I can't wait to see how it grows!

New Zealand Girl Reacts to Drum and Bugle Corps
SNModdison replied to 84BDsop's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Random selection of our 2003 show. This was my age out and was glad to see it though! I forget sometimes how many notes we played. Way underrated drumline and hornline. -
Some good looking changes here! I'm glad Micah is still around. Solid work with their percussion section.

I think Crown and Coats got ripped off
SNModdison replied to George Dixon's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
It was a crazy year, for sure. The Blue Devils and Bluecoats were both incredible and in different ways. It was going to be all about the numbers and math. Bluecoats needed more GE love and they didn't get it. It is crazy that Bluecoats were above Blue Devils in both GE and Music and still lost. I'm glad i wasn't judging, that's for sure. Crown and SCV were both very close too. I was a little surprised Crown didn't beat SCV finals night - the energy from Crown was second to Bluecoats in the stands. The crowd ate up Crown in a very special way during that performance. Regardless, it's hard to be too upset by any of it. I believe the Bluecoats had the best show, and a show we will remember for a long time. I believe they should have won, but it's impossible to be too upset because that Blue Devils show was incredible, and it has been a LONG time since I've felt that way. It was an amazing year of drum corps. -
Huge changes at SCV?? 🤔
-
Probably not so much the 0.05 difference, but the ranking. Vanguard's percussion section was the best percussion section, every night.

Favorite Ballad of the Year?
SNModdison replied to Cappybara's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
I agree. It was one of my favorites all season, and it was only magnified live during finals week! There were a lot of great ballads this year, and I'm not sure which is my favorite, but I really enjoyed these finalists' ballads: Bloo, Crown, Cavies, BK, Blue Stars, BD. -
2019 Bloooooooooooooocoats
SNModdison replied to ajlemm's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Thank you Bluecoats for another incredible season. From my first viewing at the tour premiere on 6/20, I knew this show would contend the entire season. I was excited to watch every chance I got on Flo. Being the year I got to watch all 3 nights in Indy, it was truly special. This was one of the most entertaining shows in DCI history for me, and it will hold a special place in my heart forever. Thank you designers, instructors, and performers for making 2019 a memorable season for thousands of drum corps fans. Keeping doing you! BLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! -
Blue Knights Narration
SNModdison replied to drumcorps74's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
I was wondering that same thing. I can’t find this Ellis short film. -
Bump. Walked around the northwest side of the stadium a bit and didn’t see any signs of warm up stuff going on. Is anyone in Indy right now and seen where corps are warming up?
-
We are in Indy for the first time and wanted to watch some lot stuff tomorrow. Where are the warm-up zones? Specifically color guards? Thanks, and happy finals week!

Same! I cannot wait to see this show live!
