dudes

Here. Here.

you insinuating that the judges made a ten point mistake? seems like an awfully large mistake... and with other corps having similar fluxes it rules out a fluke... what about corps that did keep their consistent scores...

I did some research and they didn't even make finals in 2000. I don't think that constitutes dominance.

Thank you I can't wait for Springfield!!

I found the recap... World Class First Places GE Visual - Cadets GE Music - Cadets Visual Performance - Cadets Ensemble Visual- Cadets Colorguard - Crown Brass - Crown Ensemble Music - Cadets Percussion - Cadets Open Class First Places GE Visual - Surf GE Music - Surf Visual Performance - Surf Ensemble Visual- Surf Colorguard - Spartans Brass - Surf Ensemble Music - Surf Percussion - Surf Looks like surf and cadets dominated... spartans and crown ruined clean sweeps...

How is their show this year? I have not seen them yet and can't wait. I love corps that base membership on a local basis. And now the only three corps within a 200 mile radius of me are Targets, Citations and Nashua. I have not seen any yet. I hope to in Springfield. How are they all doing?

How long does it normally take for recaps to go up?

Gee I wonder who this is... Considering someone who marched there for a long time had this nickname.

I think that mike d might have been refering to this article on dci's website... Showcasing the best of the best: * Each year, more than 8,000 students audition for the fewer than 3,500 positions available in top-tier DCI member corps * More than 5,000 members directly participate annually * 66 percent are male * Average age is 19.4 * 72 percent are full-time college students * 59.6 percent of the current college students are pursuing music education degrees, while 65 percent of those that indicated they are high school students intend to major in music education It must have been misraed... the link is here... http://www.dci.org/about/

This has nothing to do with what I think of the show hence why it was not posted in there. It has to do with people who talk about how people are taking stabs at the organization because they chose to do a show that has been before. I accept all groups for what they show they pursue and the hard effort the kids put into the show. I just tend to think that people forget the effort the kids put into the show and it disgusts me that a petty thing like the choice to use narration, would cause people to ignore the insane music those kids are playing, and that my friends is immature.

I find it amusing that people find it necessary to poke fun at The Cadets. First and foremost, just because they are doing a show that has been done before does not make them any less of a corps. Santa Clara did Phantom of the opera two years in a row. And the second year is most everyones' favorite. How many times has Carmen been done by marching bands, Maleguena, Corps recycle that show on a daily basis! The point is that people poke fun at things that intimidate them. Quite frankly it looks like an extremely difficult and envelope pushing. Which I am pretty sure is the object of this activity. Talk amongst yourselves.

I saw it on Youtube and I was not really distracted at all. It adds general effect and I think that it is much more tasteful than previous years IMO.

Soooooooooooo Excited!!!!!!!!!111 b**bs I wonder how it will turn out with all those div III's there! CANT WAIT TO SEE WHAT THE EAST COAST HAS TO OFFER!!!

Its a mental game. Just figure it out.

I think some people will be pleasantly surprised by the north east div III corps.

I think there some div III colorguards to look out for as well... fever, revolution, raiders and citations had the best guards I saw out there last year...and they probably only got better

Thank you.

I did not know if anyone was looking for somewhere to march last second... but I was browsing and citations have 4 spots open. www.citations.org

i heard charlie poole was writing citations book... now i am confused...

depends on the corps... i just think its foolish to count teal sound so low when vk is a much smaller and inexperienced corps. As much as everyone wants to think that they are going to be exactly the same as when they folded almost a decade ago, its highly unlikely they will come out like they did the last time we heard them.

Oregon Crusaders also lost their housing site all finals week in 2005 because DCI screwed up their housing and gave it to a DIV I corps and put all the memebers in a hotel, and they did not as much as they would have had they had a housing site. FYI and it would be foolish to think that if they prsacticed as much as the other corps had that week that they would not have placed higher.

You do know teal sound is housing 135 members and they sound awesome right? Same with Surf... from this quote I can derive a lot about your thinking process. Read up on your corps dude!
