Congratulations to Blue Devils. The difference between first and second in this activity is so small - you should carry yourselves like the champions you are. Who knows, A corps - perhaps Phantom scoring higher will work out better for you: instead of hating 'the corps who stole Phantom's title,' people may listen and watch, and appreciate what you did. But in any case, be proud. See you next year.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

He fracked it. I think I've heard it said it was the only time all year he missed it. I also think that's as far as the story goes.

The Oakland Raiders?

This from the Phantom Regiment article on finals: "And a special thank-you to the Cavaliers for their kind gesture of congratulations after the show." I thought I saw on the DCI.org video of interviews of Regiment members, SCV members congratulating Regiment members after the show. Very cool.

A .1 difference in ANYTHING would have changed the outcome.

I AM SPARTACUS!!!

<dies>

I switched to Firefox from IE and it worked correctly on Firefox

The second only reason is up next. GO PHANTOM!!!

That's a great suggestion.

When I heard it, it reminded me of the end of the slow movement of Belshazaar's in 90 - of course, both have the elder Van Doren's fingerprints all over them.

It works properly on Firefox, thanks!

Thanks, just fired up Firefox.

Just for BD Box Blog info., every video they put up I am receiving as Corky Fabrizio's HOF induction. Has this been covered?

Steve, I WAS glued to the Fan Network, but my children were watching the opening ceremony. I got to see the 2008 drummers. My first thought was "Ohmigosh, it looks like a Nuremberg rally." I think Costas thought so too - he said he found it both awe-inspiring and a little bit intimidating. But it was an unbelievably impressive spectacle of percussion and movement. I hope people post some of the ceremony on YouTube so I can catch up. Maybe MSNBC.com has it archived?

Congratulations Crossmen on a great season. Sometimes things work out the way we feel they should and sometimes they don't. You have everything to be proud of.

Um, did you say you were a teacher earlier in this thread?

DRUM CORPS PLANET!!!

I march in Phantom 'cause I like _____ ______ (fourth place, whole notes, etc.) Sung to "1812 Overture" BTW, I adore Phantom's show.

Congratulations Scouts. Your show made me a believer. Congrats Crossmen. You have nothing to be ashamed of. This year was a great step forward.

Vic, Chuck King is judging everything for all three shows.

The "drill move" in question was in fact in the Bacchanale from Samson and Delilah.
