This will be my first live show of the season so am very excited. Taking someone who has never been to a show. I have already 'splained to my guest that I will be blooing not booing.

That's who I thought it was. I got to meet him at the Tulsa DCI theater broadcast earlier this week.

Who is announcing tonights show?

I stay because you never know if the new season will bring something of great beauty or excitement. It might or might not, so you have to make the effort to see. In 2010 I heard THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MUSIC I've ever heard in my life when I heard Phantom Regiment's "Into the Light" show. It placed 6th in finals, so a show doesn't have to be a medalist to deeply touch and inspire you.

Who is that playing now on FN?

Hmm. Would it be too much if the boy and girl from the bench last year appeared out of a bass drum in this year's show?

On FN Support it says " If you require technical support during a live event please use the LIVE CHAT support system that will be located on the front page of the Fan Network." but I don't see anything on the front page of FN that says LIVE CHAT. I was going to ask them how long the delay is.

Here is another link to live radar: http://wthr.images.worldnow.com/images/incoming/sir/interactive-radar.html Here is a link to where the stadium is: http://mapq.st/1qf2lDI Looks like the storm is about past maybe but someone above said 1 hour delay. Hello from Adair, OK!

Has the performance order been announced for the 6/23/14 theater DCI Tour Premier? I can't find it anywhere. I know someone wanting to come but they will miss the first part so wondering who they might miss. They don't want to miss Carolina Crown.

Double awesome because it's on a mellophone player!

Do you get this? especially starting at 4:00. They are telling an "old, old story" of two lovers. On top of that are references to Einstein. For example, "Bern, 1905". That was the place and time where Albert Einstein the physicist published five papers that changed the world and our understanding of it. At the end of the show the guy travels through a wormhole (the bass drums) to get to his love. Wormholes (time & space travel) are predicted by Einstein's equations. There are other threads that discuss all of these little references. That was over a hundred years ago. Since then do we fully understand all of the implications of Einstein's work? No. Do we fully understand love and the lengths it makes people go to in order to find it? No.

Ditto. Ditto. 28 in drum corp years. The first live show I saw was 1985's SCV magic pants

Everything must have an ending except my love for Crown's 2013 program.

I posted an observation earlier in the season but stayed off of DCP most of the season because of the rudeness of the replies. I didn't care to see any more snarky replies by egocentric tween bandos. I've come back during the final weeks of the season mainly to see the show posts while I watch the FN broadcasts. EDIT: I'm not saying everyone here is an egocentric tween bando!

Pure beauty and pure power together. My favorite show of all time.

But doesn't Crown guard have the sequential work every year? It's something I've always noticed and appreciated and thought it did work so very well with this year's theme.

That would be great. I found a judge's tape for a BOA championship online that you could listen to at the same time as watching the show on video. It was very interesting to hear what the judge liked. Do they have training videos for the judges that explain the judging sheets with examples of different levels of performance? That would be interesting and educational.

I think if the advertised multi-cam Buffalo show was part of your decision to purchase your package, and you did in fact try to watch the horrid broadcast and were shocked that you were paying for the POS, then by all means request a refund. I asked for a prorated refund this morning on FN Support but haven't heard back yet. If I get ($20/$220)*$69 = $6.27 refunded then that is fair. I should ask for a free pass to watch Finals as compensation for the emotional pain & suffering I experienced ;-)

And like they put the microphone (singular) up a monkey's butt, and let the head monkey call the shots on the multicam.

If you want to gamble your $ then go ahead. I am in complete disbelief over the audio from Buffalo, the bad direction on the multicam, and the bad location of the highcam. I saw a video clip someone posted from an iPhone and the sound was 100 times better.

Didn't he give the TOC scoring system incorrect by saying it was the cumulative score? I thought the TOC scoring was 50% weighted towards tonights show?

My package cost should be prorated. The broadcast was CRAP in sound and direction. Even "high cam" (mid-cam) with no direction was terrible. Only middle 3rd of screen had the field.

I switched to high cam because I was tired of missing nice drill and watching pit players make goofy faces. But the top 3rd of the screen is seats and the bottom 3rd is back of heads.

It's very annoying.
