The Cavaliers and Madison Scouts are missing out on talent by being "all-male." .
1If you think they are missing out on talent what did you think of the Mandarins in the early days when they were an all Asain corps. It didn't hurt them. They were Division III World Champions in 1987, 1988, 1992, 1996, 1997, 1998, and 1999; and Drum Corps International Division II World Champions in 2001. Those were great days with great shows.

I hope you all have enjoyed the show so far. I had nothing but trouble with my reception from the beginning and spent the last 3 hours online with Verizon. Finally the last service person was able to help me. My first corps was The Cadets. All seems well at the moment. Wish me luck the rest of the way.

I'm hoping for something a little more unique. That would have been great had they not already done something similar as with Clara in '15.
It is not like they have never repeated themselves before. How many remember what I will call the butterfly wings that the color guard uses at the end. They used them a long time ago.

The Blue Devils won't win because they left the window open in the end.

Is it possible they left it open for a C Corps member to walk through?

Vanguard better have their aussies, that's all I'm saying. An SCV retreat with a bunch of bright eyes looking up at the crowd is borderline sacrilegious.
If anyone is still wondering where their aussies have been all season just remember the alumni corps from last night.

Can't help but thinking about Gail while watching Clowns... the tears...
Me also. The photo for my profile is Gail's headstone. I always try to display it during the season.

The Vanguard Alumni performance brought tears to my eyes. So much to love, Phantom, the Bottle Dance, and Clowns but most of all seeing the current corps members with tears in their eyes after the performance. Is this a community or what?-

Hee. They're having fun. Did you see the grin on that trumpet player as he approached the mic as the Bone soloist wailed?
That Bone soloist is great. I could listen to him all day.

Fresno, Ca Theater was maybe half full or a little more. There have been more people in the past.

SCV and BD are clearly the top tier In DCI this season, and both were very well received in our theatre tonite. BD still has the edge here, but SCV is right there with them, imo ( and the judges concur with that assessment ). Good luck tomorrow nite., and congratulations to the Vanguard Cadets Open Class Division Championships Title, as well as their strong showing in the Quarterfinals!
BD has always had more than the crowd edge here in Central California but I was pleasantly surprised at how good the response was for the Vanguard here in BD country.

Well Bummer, the Vanguard show is going to overlap the BDB show so I only see the ending of the BDB show.
Sorry Bloo but I will be watching the Vanguard Cadets tonight.The bad news is that BDB had finished so I missed the but the Vanguard Cadets were just starting. I did get back in time to watch much of the Bloo show. The Bloo show is growing on me.

It is no better on the Open show.

I don't get the props either, and I agree the black does muddy.
Could someone explain the props to me.

Last night the Cadets showed a lot of 666's in their recaps.

Who will be the 666 corps tonight? Will it be Boston or will it be the Cadets again? -
