Cavaliers do a better job of keeping it in-house.

It's a uniform because they all look the same, as opposed to cotumes which may have multiple variations or represent different characters. We think in terms of military uniforms because of our hisotircal roots, but UPS drivers and Burger King employees wear "uniforms" too.

I would bet these were well into production by the time "things" broke. There's a chance they could go back to an earlier uniform, but they haven't worn the traditional uni since '15.

Maybe going into pre-tour without an executive director was deemed the bigger concern. Let the Crossmen figure out their own stuff.

Color, along with costumes, props, etc. are only a very small consideration in the effect caption. The emphasis is on what the performers DO. These are not considered at all (to the best of my knowledge) in the Visual Performance and Visual Analysis captions.

The similarity is in the way the activites are scored.

This list is a couple years old, but it will get you started. Look for cross-trainers, not running shoes. (Running shoes don't provide enough lateral support.)

I knew that - just didn’t know if that’s what he was commonly called.

Is “backflip Jesus” really a thing? Seen that title used a couple times today.

Each corps is alloted the same time interval - I believe it's 17 minutes - to set up, perform, and exit. They decide how the use that time. As the amount of "stuff" on the field increases, so does the time it takes to move it.

I never understood the connection ther either.

Kill me now.

Interesting to me that every year TOC shows start to look a little more like regular season shows.

They also forgot to ask about White Castle. (Delicious as always.)

From DCI - "We’ve extended this invitation to 2016 AND 2017 Championship ticket purchasers."

Yes, I know all those names, plus a few more. I was referring to the number of comments about the Blue Devils, the Crossmen and the "other" Cavaliers. Not much talk about SCV.

This is the Vanguard thread, right?

Depends on what you consider an "artistic statement". Replace that with the phrase "program concept" and I agree. Program concepts should be relatable/accessible and all design components should relate to the program concept.

Guard scores overall seemed a little wonky to me.

My opinion: If your ultimate goal is to march in the Bluecoats, you should audition there this fall. Even if you know you're not at all ready, you'll learn what it takes and what they expect. This will help you prepare for the next year. Here's how I would suggest you approach it: A) Work your butt of to be as ready as you can be. B) Learn as much as you can about the organization and their audition requirements. Most corps publish a packet of information and audition materials. C) Know going in that you may not be ready and have a backup plan to go somewhere else. Knowing that your end goal is pretty high, I would suggest you aim high and take a spot in the best corps that will have you. That will give you the best preparation to move up later. You may have to audition at several corps. (Most offer more than one audition camp.) You can march the season if you're 22nd birthday is after June 1. (So those with birthdays between June 1 and Finals night can march at the age of 22.)

Congratulations SCV!!

Hilarious!

No one was putting dots on paper (so to speak) in December, but corps begin designing shows in the fall and typically the drill writer has been hired and is part of that process.
