sometimes easier than said. I was in the bari line last year, and had some issues in july, but I should know tomorrow. I have that itch like you wouldn't believe though. Way to go bush.

great rehearsal today bush, and it paid off with a #### good performance. Way to go. Maybe I can join up with you guys....

nice review. this excites me for this weekends show in chambersburg. I'm having the drum corps itch and I need to see some action. Thanks for the review, felt like I was there, except my face wasn't being blown off. :(

Anyone have a list of where corps are going to be? I know Bluecoats are at Conrad Weiser and Crown at Raub MS or something? I live in the area and want to see a few corps practice possibly friday and saturday.... any information would be appreciated. Thanks.

go get 'em bush. can't wait to see you guys sometime in july in PA

I think Phantom, BD, and Cavies all have excellent shows. SCV and Bluecoats were amazing in Bensalem. I loved them. Wasn't too fond of the Cadets shows, but those kids perform it to their best. That's all they can really do. This is an amazing year for drum corps. SCV back from their "off-year". A new corps in the mix for a top dog label (bluecoats). Excellent year in DCI. Can't wait till after rehearsal tomorrow to see Semis results. Good luck to all the corps. Goo regiment and bloooo. night all. thank you chris.

96.9 for cavies. top 3 within .9 wow.

wow...407 users (at time of post) are reading this topic. wow. anyway. top 3 is gonna be a dog fight, I can't wait to get done at my show saturday night, and come check who won. top 3, then 4-6 battling. even 7-11 are battling. 12 I think is the only spot that won't go up. Can't wait to see Cavies score.

89.675 for crown

not an alumn here. lol. i have a few friends in the corps who introduced me to this activity...so i found a home without even marching yet....hopefully next year if i can string together enough money or sponsorships... *crosses fingers*

go bloooo...stay in front of cadets. look up towards phantom and them in front. dont' look back. what a jump for SCV. they could threaten for that #4 spot.... go bloooooooooo

i think he means bluecoats instead of the cavaliers... bah who knows. i'll just wait till the morning... go bloooooo

What are the rehearsal sites for corps performing at the bensalem show? thanks in advance.

any scores yet????

i just think top 8 has begun to separate themselves from the rest of them. with SCV even with a down-year is still a good corps, and carolina crown is on the rise and just can't seem to break into the top 6...madison is always solid...blue coats continue to get better and the top 4...well they're the top 4...nuff said. lol

ok...i stopped reading this on like page 45..i started from the begining. time for my predictions... top 4 will be a battle all year with phantom, BD, Cadets, and Cavies duking it out. but I believe the corps that ends of 4th could end up in a battle with bluecoats. 5 bluecoats....they are moving in the right direction, by far. 6-8....madison, scv, crown...in no particular order..i believe that group is subject to change each and every year.... top 8 is uncontested imo, i believe the top 8 is above 9-12. their in there own world.... 9-12 crossmen, spirit, colts, boston, bk, glassmen...they'll be duking it out for the last 4 finals spots....it should be a battle also, could this be like 96 in the fact that phantom was 4th in quarters, 3rd in semis then won the title? could we see that this year from anyone of the top 4? who knows.

so what's this super suprise announcement??? and like rob asked, where is the video??

a lot of you bush people know about the lebanon's group tough/rough weekend...but that ensemble rehearsal made me forget about anything. it was absolutely phenomenal. This is gonna be the start to my "perfect year". I can't wait. I love this place

I am so looking foward to getting up at 4:30 and leaving at 530 am. that's about the only time i'll say that. yeah, i'm that excited.

thats a neat interesting thing with a stadium....that the grass can be rolled in and out...interesting. I'll have my rookie dci season in a groundbreaking type of year...first championship in cali...new venue for a regional. should be some great stuff! can't wait for 06 season to start...it'll only make it that much more closer to 07

okay..time to try this.... 1. cavaliers (amazing turnover rate, 4 championships in the last 6 years...3 of them outright.) 2. phantom regiment 3. cadets 4. Bluecoats 5. Blue Devils 6. Carolina Crown 7. Santa Clara 8. Madison 9. Crossmen 10. Glassmen 11. Boston 12. Blue Knights, spirit, or colts

as a future dci member....I would enjoy making the trip out to the west coast. I feel it's a great thing for drum corps to expand out there, for more "late season action" and finals of course. It will definately draw fans, as will every dci final. No matter where it is. Of course the tour schedules and such will have to be changed. DCI east, in allentown wouldn't be a good thing for the week before finals like it normally is. It would be difficult to travel halfway across the country in less than a week. Maybe it would lead Denver or an area out there to have a dci major event. Even places like seattle, san diego. A major event there. I think finals out on the west coast is a great, great thing for the activity.

I don't really care about a theme too much, I more care about the music being played, and how everything is strung together on the field. I enjoy the product on the field, I don't care about a theme. Yes a theme could catch your attention, like cavies in 2004 did for me, I saw 007, and I thought hmm, this should be pretty good. But when I looked through the program I looked at what music each corp was playing, not at what the show was titled. titles, like other people have said, are there for "branding" and "marketing"....your not going to put your music titles on a shirt, but you'll put the "title" or "theme" of the show. It's just easier that way. I hate when I see a show announcement and there's no musical titles with it. It drives me wild. So basically IMO themes, and titles are for "marketing" and "branding" and for the "over inflated ego of the staff and show designers."

October 8th....ugh....only 5 more saturdays till my birthday and then the week after I'll be up starting something I wish I would've finished my first time up! DCI can wait, and if i dont want to march dci they'll live without me....hahaha. Bush just has the right atmosphere...Bush pride baby. Make 06 (25th anniversary) the best year this corps ever had! Can't wait till NOVEMBER! Well in about 3-4 weeks I'll see some people at my high schools band show

might have reeled in another friend...that makes about 6...his girlfriend might help on support staff or something (she doesn't play an instrument or something) still working on more. can't wait
