Star 93 brought controversy
TommySopranoContra replied to gottalovit's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
i never classified Star 1993 as too different. To me it was just abstract but didn't like shatter anything to such a great degree as drill, music, etc... What i consider groundbreaking is what Zingali did in the 1980s. Okay now that changed design and style to a whoa degree. -
Think i can do it?

Almosta always, a corps' goal is to have a great finals run. But we know that's not always the case. Name some of the terrific runs. (Note some finals runs aren't exactly the best technical run nontheless, the energy was still there) 1999 - Santa Clara Vanguard (SCV was roaring in my face that year) 2000 - The Cadets 2003 - Phantom Regiment (bad guard run but that energy was still rocket launching out from those white unis) 2003 - Blue Devils 2005 - The Cadets 2005 - Phantom Regiment

Whew.... collapsing T in SCV 99.... Whew.... almost had a heart attack from the excitement. One of the best moves ever.

Top 3 (without personal influence) 1) Phantom Regiment - Surpise... haha they're good at fan favorites 2) Blue Devils 3) Santa Clara Vanguard

Wasn't there a relative of William Walton (wife possibly?) during 1990 DCI finals watching Belshazzar's Feast performed by Star of Indiana

Blue Devils - 2003 "The Phenomenon of Cool" Phantom Regiment - 1996 "A Defiant Heart" Santa Clara Vanguard - 1989 "The Phantom of the Opera" The Cadets - 2000 "We Are the Future" The Cavaliers - 1991 "The Cavalier Anthems - Advent Collection" Star of Indiana - 1991 "Roman Images" Madison Scouts - 1996 "A Drum Corps Fan's Dream Part Dos" It was hard for me to choose 1991 or 1990 Star... -

Hardest unis to march in

Cadets 2005 must have been a ##### to clean with those mirrored uniforms. *edited for filter circumvention* -KM -
Battle of the composers Part Deux
TommySopranoContra replied to Blackstar's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
I'll say Bernstein. But i must admit that the fame of almost all artists are cherised posthumously. Let's wait until John William dies and compare his work with the others... :P -

It's fair.

Class Acts In Drum Corps
TommySopranoContra replied to BeachDrums's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Go Xmen 05!!!!!! That's beyond class act! -
I don't associate with those substances, I frown upon it. I've only gotten drunk once and I refuse to go back there again. I'm sorry if I offend anyone, but I have a solid perception of people who do drugs, smoke, or alcohol as an inferior weakness. I've had friends and family members harmed by these substances and it was in most cases that they found recreational aspects of getting high or drunk. Which, I might add, is one the most asinine views I've ever encountered. I especially despise people who use them in the musical world. This is cliche, but I take full belief in it-- Music is a way getting out of the hardships of life. Why would a musician give up one of the most glorious aspects of the human soul for poison? This trade boils every pint of blood in me.

Corps watching Corps
TommySopranoContra replied to Blackstar's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
It couldn't hurt one day. It might help the corps themselves in a motivational way. "Whoa corps A is definitely some competition check out those feet!" -

Best Guard Uniforms ever
TommySopranoContra replied to Brigadier80's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
I sometimes question what Cavaliers 2005 was. I think it's the worst ever. That was by far the most feminine thing I've ever seen on an all male corps. \ In positive aspects :) I really like the early 90s cavalier uniforms. -

Google Video Sync?
TommySopranoContra replied to Mokumi's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Whoopie we got scientific method going on here. Cire, read, read read, if you don't want to don't waste time, I said the original file is fine, but it's the encoding that's causing the problem when sent. -

Don't worry about it, it's just the original file's encoding
