Come join The Southern Knights from Birmingham, Alabama! We are just starting guard practice now that WGI & band trips are over. Our next camp is next weekend April 30th & May 1st at Pell City High School in Pell City, Alabama. WE SERIOUSLY NEED GUARD MEMBERS! Our show is based on "In The Spring When Kings Go Off To War" & "On A Hymnsong of Philip Bliss" by David Holsinger. Info can be found at our webpage: http://www.southernknightscorps.org and our facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/southernknights1/?fref=ts PLEASE pass this along to anyone who might be interested! THANKS EVERYBODY!

Sun Devils (DCA) did Baba Yetu in 2009 & it became the corps song.

Cost, cost and the economy. Otherwise looks pretty healthy to me.

That there is hallowed drum corps ground. :)

I LOVE The Cadets theme this year. Wouldn't it be funny if it came down to The Cadets & SCV this year...Good & Evil(ish) LOL

If they weave this together with strong music, visual & an amazing story this could be a medal year for SCV.

IMO these labels are applied to any show that has a 'moody or brooding piece' anywhere in it. To me if a show is called 'dark' the whole show should be woven with the theme. The epitome of the dark show, is, of course, Phantom Regiment 1996.

Alot of the shows were top heavy, with emphasis on the horn line, and specifically sops. Ah the days of the scream demons.

What would you say is the most famous show ever?

Since corps have gone "fashion forward," & since the military look is back in fashion why don't some of the corps go back for military feeling uni's next year? P.S. Thank you Cadets for staying true to your look. <3

In G - YES!

Star '90 - "Oh my God, the baby's burning!" The most classic of all fan-calling. 88 Cavies recording wouldn't be the same without the one guy & a few others just "yelling" nothing in particular, just "yelling" in the beginning. It really lends to the ominous feel of the music. We've played this game before but I can't find the thread now. :)

It's for the kids. Let it stay that way. We have DCA, and it's better than ever. (no dis on the kids, work yo thang! ;) )

I bet she was a real monster! LOL j/k 1988 had the better all around top 12. Amazing shows, top to bottom. My all-time fave show was from '87 (care to guess? ).

Maybe the point here is that while disgruntled with the activity as a whole, it is our favorite corps that bring us back, not the governing body. (Or, more specifically, the HISTORY of our favorite corps that keeps us coming back.)

oh, and I still want Regiment to do "V for Vendetta." In black. With, of course, 1812 Overture. I DARE The Cadets to re-create the moon landing. Seriously. To any corps (all corps) BRING BACK THE CORPSGASM!!!!!!!! please? Scouts should do that voodoo that they do so well. Vanguard, please, pretty please, tell us a story again...bring the story to life like you use to. You were the best storytellers of any corps. And a little of that old magic again wouldn't hurt. To any designers out there, we don't want you to re-create the old shows, we just want you to re-create the FEELING those shows had. :)

I would love to see BD do a show titled, "Unforgettable." The ballad, of course, the Irving Gordon standard. Play it lush, loud & stirring. The rest of the show should be just as "Unforgettable." :)

FindAGrave Memorial - George Bonfiglio, Jr.

They do every year after finals like clockwork.

Madison Scouts BTW, I think BD's show is awesome this year, and I'm not always a fan of theirs. The best designed, IMO, well performed & it's entertaining despite it's craziness.

Awhile ago there was a thread where ppl posted pics of their tats.

ha ha that's what they say in arkansas. they are HUGE there & will tear your a** up!

That would be like putting a Cadets pic in photo shop & doing reverse color negative. lol

Everyone is a critic. I will never forget a sourpuss in front of me at the Little Rock, AR show in 1990. He actually turned around and told me how bad Vanguard sucked as I cheered for them. Real sweetheart, that one.

I'm REALLY excited about Madison. No matter where they place this will be the show of the year.
