  1. Wow, top three in a 0.4 spread. THAT would be exciting going into Saturday.
  2. Based on show times, this should be a very telling competition right before San Antonio.
  3. Heck of a first post Bearckat. Welcome to DCP, I hope your Bluecoats do well this year. BTW, would you mind filling out your profile information as to when you marched, and who you marched with? Thanks!
  4. Again, I wish I had thought to ask Lee about this. I will say that from a writing stand point, I did not miss them.
  5. I think this started with SCV around 1974. Madison went to that in 1975.
  6. I grew up in the sling era, so they all have a tilt.
  7. I’m not sure if it was done for ergonomic reasons, or as part of a “throwback look” for the 75th anniversary. I didn’t think to ask Lee Beddis last weekend. I wish I would have.
  8. Yes, they have a slight tilt. Personally, I like the look, always have.
  9. I remember hearing that doing something along the lines of taking a picture, would get a penalty these days. I'm not sure if that's true. If someone has better info on that, please post it.
  10. "Throwing Babies" The act of freeing up one's hands to be able to clap them together at a drum corps show.
  11. I've been told that the paintings are a representation of a painting of Malaga, Spain, by Picasso. He is from Malaga.
  12. I employed the "block" feature a few years ago. It's works wonderfully, except when you quote him. Then my eyes burn.
  13. There are so many Blue Stars alums in the Twin Cities area. Every one of them that I have met, have been very nice, classy, drum corps fans. I just don’t get it with that dude. Something is driving the angst.
  14. He never fails to come through in the clutch...
  15. I hope the new ending is what I think it is. If so, they stadium will go nuts!
  16. Can't wait for this one: 12 Tone High Jinks – A tribute to Schoenberg
  17. I think he just asked about those two corps because it is well known that they have their roots in scouting. I didn't read anything more into the inquiry.
  18. Until recently, I don't think that the music community, as a whole, has encouraged young ladies to become battery players. Front ensembles have been much more even, or even female dominated in some cases. For some reason it took awhile for those percussionist to become battery players. I glad too see a more equal footing for the young women that are playing battery percussion now. We will know we are really making progress when there is no longer a need for this type of observation.
  19. I finally had the opportunity to see the Blue Stars show in Minneapolis. They have a very nice show this year and did a great job. As others have mentioned, the drill is very demanding. There is a lot of top end available as they continue to clean it. I am so glad to see the Blue Stars having continued success in World Class. Go Wisconsin Drum Corps!
  20. I just wanted to pop into this thread and say how much I liked SCV's show in Minneapolis. They, along with the Scouts, Bloo, Boston, and the Govies, were the highlight of the show for me. Thank you SCV for entertaining the crowd!
