Moves Being made in YEA
sardomus replied to BrassMachine05's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
As long as they hang on to Megh... she's quickly becoming the unsung hero of YEA and USSBA. -
Football... that's the sport that takes place on a Marching Field, right?
-
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.
-
Didn't the Cavies erase all the hash marks on the field... Sorry, couldn't resist.

10PM start for ESPN Broadcast?
sardomus replied to 84chief's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
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 -
Crown and their horses

Wait... you want to BUY a guard member??? -
Cadets members, post your thoughts here.
sardomus replied to 13-on-deck's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
This post should be pinned at the top of this forum for all the pro-booing idio... um... "people" to read. -
1987 Gah-FIELD!
-
In addition to the musical reasons, because while most corps have their own party during retreat at finals, The Cadets stand silently.

Wow, are you sure you want this to be your first post on DCP?

Booing in the World of Arts
sardomus replied to sddolfan's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
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. -
On the Propriety of Booing
sardomus replied to Dan Baker's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
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? -
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.
-
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!

The 2007 DCI Finals Thread
sardomus replied to nsutrumpet1984's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
I disagree, I think it's all in good fun. If it was the Cadets' site commenting on the BD show, I would hope they'd be just as complimentary. -
Agreed. And I think it's even more classy that they have up Michael Boo's interview with the 89-year old 1st DM of the Cadets. Well done, bluedevils.org!

Mike Boo interviews Cadets' first drum major
sardomus replied to Galen's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
89 years young! A wonderful look back. Well done! -
Screw the placements--I love this show!
sardomus replied to dbrddr's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Crown (like everyone else... the complete package, soooo entertaining) Spirit (and I'm usually not a big Spirit fan, but a great corps and show this year- Hide and Seek!) Madison (very dark, like scary dark... great show) -
This pretty much sums it up- During the trumpet player's narration (that many describe as the "EMO Kid"), someone yelled out, "Give this kid a gun already!", followed by laughter in the crowd. I don't care if you like narration or not, if you like the Cadets or not, that's just not being human.
-
Funny, I thought I heard them yell "East" also.

A rock and a hard place
sardomus replied to zig zig ZAG's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
"Loud Noises!" -
Boring? I'm sorry, I must have missed something. Isn't there five-hundreths of a point separating BD and Cadets for the Championship?
-
No booing, the collective IQ of the Semis crowd was apparently much higher than at Quarters.
-
When I saw the commercial and heard the "explanation" from Dennis DeLucia, the first thing I thought was, "Oh, it's DCI's version of the Cadets' "Music is Cool" clinics. But I won't say that, cause it'll turn into another Cadets-bashing thread. ;)
