Brass don't seem to be playing very well today.

No, they didn't perform this afternoon. They're in finals already on the strength of their scores thus far

Just wait till its in Madison - I bet Wisc won't be on the losing side then... Not like last year in State College... heh heh

GO BONES!!!!!!!!!

Should there be sound on my DCI commercial?

Are they streaming the prelims too? Wow...

I tried to go to the Bucs' rehearsal last night but torrential downpours moved it inside. The weather forecast, after being optimistic most of the week, has turned downright ugly. Right now, where I am, twenty miles from the show site, it is raining steadily, and the predictions are 100 percent for heavy rain through the afternoon and evening. All of Pennsylvania is under a flash flood watch. It doesn't look promising. Weather forecast for Lewisburg here

We've been down this road before here, long before you joined up. It always ends up the same - denials, accusations, innuendo, etc. In short, if you think Crossmen are being kept down by YEA!, you'll believe it no matter what people say. End of topic.

Seriously, when I read this topic title I had to make sure I wasn't using a Mac Performa... It's Deja vu all over again!

Paging Stuart Rice... If you know what I'm talking about, you've been around a while.

I used to use the high speed dub setting on my dual-tape boom box to speed up my high school marching band shows. Does that count? (Or does it make me totally lame-o?)

Muchachos!!!

Never happened. Doubt it ever will. But...

Des Plaines Vanguard

Esperanza!

Didn't think it was offensive at all - I really did think it was a good one. But I thought that that show was rained out.

Good one...

"Corps at the Crest" July 2, 1863 Gettysburg, Pennsylvania Corps Place Score 20th Maine Regiment 1 95.35 1st Minnesotians 2 90.00 Devil's Denizens 3 66.60 Alabama 15 4 55.55 This show saw the premiere of the famous right wheel forward drill move. Several color guard members gave it up for this show. All the units dealt with lousy field conditions. Timing/Penalties: James Longstreet High Brass (balls): 20th Maine (Joshua Chamberlain, directing) High Percussion: four way tie (lots of percussive caps everywhere)

Innovative use in the color guard of pickaxes and hammers. Inspired VK 92.

"Shot Heard Round the World" Classic April 19, 1775 Lexington/Concord, Massachusetts Colony Prelims - The Green, Lexington Corps Place Score British Redcoats 1 73.45 Boston Minutemen 2 70.00 Finals - The Bridge, Concord Corps Place Score Boston Minutemen 1 76.76 British Redcoats 2 75.75 Timing/Penalties: Revere, Paul

Actually, the NBA team was also named after the Magic Kingdom...

It's important to remember that DCP, though wonderful, is one very small part of the drum corps fan base. DCI's improved a lot in the past five years in improving the product for its fan base, via Season Pass, DCI Cinema, ESPN, etc. Gas prices are a bigger threat to DCI than amps. BTW, (full disclosure), I would prefer not to have amped vocals.

More theme here...red for ####, which is where Faust is going because he's made a deal with the devil, etc., etc.

Bill Cook's story of the 91 Star season, including Zingali's creation of the famous mirror image cross, is at www.cookgroup.com/star/. Click on "history" at the top of the page, click on Star of Indiana "Recollections" and then click on Chapter Four, the 1991 season.

You're imagining things. Maybe you're thinking "from Hackensack, New Jersey, the Cadets of Bergen County" I think they were in Hackensack from 89 - 92, and then moved to Bergenfield in 93. The Cadets of Bergen County name was shortened to "The Cadets" beginning in 1999.
