Is your screen name a reference to Star Trek Voyager? If that's the case, I LOVE Captain Janeway.
No, not a fan of the Star Trek TV series T.

Not being melodramatic at all. I hope you remember I said this 5 or so years from now.
You'll have to wait until 2029 for that to possibly happen, the contract with the Lucas Oil Stadium runs through the 2028 season which was signed in August 2015.....

the last time Jay Cutler played for an Indiana team, it was his high school team.
It doesn't have anything to do with where he played. He had the exact OPPOSITE effect that Payton Manning had: his former teams get BETTER when he leaves.

Well this woman was actually pretty nasty to all the staff...her responses were something along the lines of...
"Because I said so" "I'm a donor and you wouldn't be here if it wasn't for me" She even said something about Boston needing shirts or something snarky like that...I didn't understand what she was trying to say and neither did Gino...I turned around and we looked at each other in puzzlement and Gino said he didn't understand what she was saying and I didn't either...lol
Oh geez, one of those "entitled" people huh? LOL, some people.....sooooooooooome people.....

1999- it was a tie for a championship so it probably doesn't stand out historically...but their use of percussion was so unique,fun, and fresh. My favorite thing about BD even since highschool when I was watching on ESPN has been their percussion and this show is probably the coolest percussion showcase of all time.
Oh yes, LOVE this show. One of my favorites from them over the past 2 decades heh. I'm hoping they go back to something like this sometime down the road. So FULL of energy and just a joy to listen to EVERY time.

it's the music. 91,98,96, 87 (sans opener) etc,
Yeah I agree, most of my favorites from BD are due to the great writing in the music book.

BTW, noticed all of the talk about the great Cavaliers hornlines of old in recent threads, DON'T FORGET about their 2010 line!!!!
Adolph DeGrauwe returns to the Green Machine and uncorks them for the first time in a while LOL.....

Wow, thank you for the props! At the time it was the youngest corps GR had fielded to date (average age was barely 17) and a lot of the SCV “heavy vets” had taken the season off to march the Olympic Band in LA (my understanding is a lot of DC folks did the same.) During Finals week the staff apologized to us for “under” writing the show and not giving us something much more difficult; Tim S. said it best: “Our goal was simply to change your diapers, send you guys out there and pray you’d take 5th. We are so sorry.”
We weren’t all total DC rookies...we had 2nd year folks, guys from 2-7, MBBB, Noth Stah and VF, but in my view the real “quiet calming presence” were the three age-outs who were spending their 1st and only year in SCV after they’d marched 79-82 Guardsmen, and had followed Tim S from Gmen to SC. One was our DM (still the loudest IMO with vocal commands) and the other two were Frenchies. I mean, these were folks who had brought “Fanfare for the New” and “Tiger of San Pedro” to life back in ‘79, then fought their way back into Finals in ‘80 with their trademark ”Greensleeves”; their “street cred” was immeasurable and now they were *with us*— whoa! They were wonderful, humble, down to earth, were a wealth of experience in overcoming adversity and loved every minute they got to wear an Aussie. One of those aforementioned FH players posts regularly on this board and brings great perspective to DCP.
Mahalo Nui Loa...
Wow, GREAT story. Well you people were definitely NOT 5th lol. Couldn't remember if Salzman was the caption head at that time or not lol.
I would encourage EVERYONE on these boards to go listen to (at LEAST) the top 3 hornlines that year. They ALL won high brass that night for a REASON people.....

But those things must fit the show design and should not be arbitrarily added. Brass runs that come out of nowhere and interrupt the flow of the show can be impressive but not always welcomed.
Heh I can't really say that I've encountered any books in recent memory that I DIDN'T welcome it. Did you not like it when Crown added a TON of notes in London Bridge last year? Those notes were added and I really liked their interpretation. To me, it didn't have to do with interrupting anything or it wasn't necessary etc. I just enjoyed it for the entertainment value and how POLISHED it was (and that's just one of many examples that come to mind).

Or have your brass stop and do a bunch of double/triple tonguing or maybe a bunch of runs.... whether they fit the rest of the show or not. Notes=points.
Well, I'll most certainly take more steak with my baked potato if the hornlines are willing to give it. Heh, I will NEVER ##### about a hornline having a lot of meat in their book. More DIFFICULTY = MORE points.....

as a fan of Cadets 2005, i hope they don't. just the homer in me
Well heh, you might be fine because of the quality that (mostly) BD, Bloo, Crown bring to the table. Going to be mighty tough for SCV to take every caption/sub-caption going forward.....

‘87; before that, ‘84. I marched the ‘84 brass line with a lot of guys who later aged out in ‘87. Thus far those are the only two.
Well, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL OF THAT CHOCOLATE!!!!!
Your '84 line was DEFINITELY no pushover.....but you could #### well push over every #### thing in your PATH LOL.....
AWESOME sound that year along with '87.....

So people are asking if Babylon will beat the score set by Felliniesque, which may not be possible this season. I think a better question is whether Babylon can set the new Vanguard high score by beating Phantom of the Opera's 98.800.
Right, I don't think they will get quite that high. I'm going to say 98.7 on Finals night.....

So? New endings are always the rage but very rarely do they make much of an impact at all. The ending that is in right now is just fine and can easily take them to a gold. A revamped version might have the fans oozing over it but the judges are already feeling it so not much room for improvement.
Well, Phantom Regiment 2008 was most DEFINITELY one of those rarities then I suppose.

Is this true or just speculation? Yes, I know during the standstill at Stanford the corps played their closer with those mello sustains. But did they remove it or are they saving it?
They're SAVING IT...…….
