  1. As long as they hang on to Megh... she's quickly becoming the unsung hero of YEA and USSBA.
  2. Football... that's the sport that takes place on a Marching Field, right?
  3. I agree w/ TxM's post. The Cadets have been doing a similar education clinic project, called Music is Cool, for many summers now, so I think it's great that the OnQ people are finally joining the party.
  4. Didn't the Cavies erase all the hash marks on the field... Sorry, couldn't resist.
  5. Before you all start beating on the WNBA, you might remind yourselves that you're comments are just as bad as people who are asking why the hell there's some "marching band thing" on ESPN. Pot+Kettle=Black
  6. I never understood the flying start. If you're gonna start the show, start the show. At this rate, soon we'll hear Brandt Crocker say, "Yo, Yo, Yo! Let's give it up for..."
  7. This post should be pinned at the top of this forum for all the pro-booing idio... um... "people" to read.
  8. In addition to the musical reasons, because while most corps have their own party during retreat at finals, The Cadets stand silently.
  9. Wow, are you sure you want this to be your first post on DCP?
  10. I just can't believe what I've been reading on here the past 2 weeks... Ok, let's really stir the pot, by substituting the name of the corps- Next season, we should all boo Pioneer until their staff gives them a show they can compete with. Oh, sorry, is that offensive to some people? Will I get flamed? I like Pioneer, I admire them, but they are always at the bottom of the pack. So, according to all the pro-booing posts, we should boo whenever they are on the field... keeping in mind that we won't be booing the kids, we'll be booing their staff. Now, doesn't that just sound heartless... YES, IT DOES.
  11. Ya know, I've been thinking a lot about this whole situation since Thursday night, and reading the OP is very much a "wake-up call" for me. DCI is not what it used to be when I became a fan, not because of the shows that "push the envelope", but because the audience reaction has changed from simply not applauding at things you don't like, to booing and shouting things like, "give the kid a gun already" (and before anyone says that it was just one fan, the laughter that followed the remark was loud enough to be heard in the theaters). So, as a director, I will no longer be selling the activity to my students and recommending to my students that they march Div 1, because I will not subject any of my kids to these "symptoms of DCI's schizophrenia". Anyone who is a HS director, ask yourself this- if you were at Quarterfinals or were in a theater, would you want your kids to be on the field with The Cadets?
  12. Refusing to let this thread get hijacked by the trolls... Excellent job Cadets! Great season! A show for the ages! Thank you all for sharing your talents with us.
  13. A great end to a great season! Even though my corps-of-choice didn't win, being gracious in defeat is just as important in the "big picture". Congrats to the 2007 Champs! I'm sure you made Cali proud!
