What a novel idea! I wish they would have had something like this when I marched!
-
I was at the rehearsal tonight. This is a stellar show. It's great to see a Vanguard show that feels like a Vanguard show.
P.S. New ending is rad.
UGHHH! Can't wait 'til Atlanta!

Did you predict that Cadets would win last year when they placed 4th at DCI Minnesota?
This.
There is a TON of time for corps to clean the product they're putting on the field and there isn't a corps out there that is even remotely close to peaking yet, there's still a solid 3 weeks or so before even the mature corps start getting to that point.

Academy's Wizard of Oz themed schedule for the day!
That's awesome! What a clever way to hype the kids!

Bump, price down to $400! :D

Some drivers have log books.
I was under the impression this was a requirement for all drivers. Is that not the case? I'm kind of the anti-driver, I complain about my 30 minute commute to work, I couldn't even imagine spending all day behind the wheel. :P

While I wasn't really a fan of the options given, I think the new judging system is a step in the right direction. Although, I don't see any reason that a "fan favorite" show can't be entertaining and well executed at the same time. Cavaliers 2002 comes to mind, impeccable execution from top to bottom, maybe a little "artsy" (even though I hate that word), but largely a crowd favorite.

Thank you for this thread! :D

It's a fun book to play, I'll say that. Looking forward to this season!

Complete legacy collection for sale. Initially posted it to help cover the cost of tour fees but was offered a sponsorship so I unlisted it. Unfortunately, now my car requires yet another major repair and I'm once again force to put the DVDs on the Chopping Block.

Oh, that settles it once and for all. Pioneer is the loudest hornline in DCI.
(Either that, or peak decibel meter readings say nothing about hornline volume.)
Did you even read the numbers? lol

Cavaliers 2004 "whistle" section.

SCV was by far the softest corps, almost 15db less than the next softest corps.
Dissonant shows have a tendency to do that.

My next goal is to get through the next camp without adjusting my arms to deal with the pain of that Jupiter contra!
lol, good luck with that, those horns are.... ugh.

Re: Announcements - I've found the older I get, the less I care.

Same. It's kind of nice to be surprised for that first show of the summer.

I don't know if the Garfield marchers are trying to make you guys simply feel better about finishing behind Garfield or not in 1984, but that '84 Cadets show performance was selected by fans nationwide as one of the top 5 favorite shows ever in a DCI national poll. '84 Garfield's Finals performance was magnificent, and its on fan network. The Visual and Guard alone was spectacular, and the closing drill sequence ( and its execution ) is one for the ages. The '84 Cadets were deserving champions with the vast numbers in attendance that night in Atlanta. Nothing against coming in 2nd however as BD was a deserving runners up in both the Prelims and in the Finals to the Garfield Cadets that year, imo. '84 Garfield was one of those rare shows that was considered the best with both the fans in the Prelims and Finals AND with both the separate judging panels at Prelims and Finals..... as well as with fans nationwide that saw it live on TV and later with those who viewed it on tape.
Never once did he say that Garfield didn't deserve their well-earned gold medal, he just said that even the GC membership didn't think they were going to win that night, it's not like they won in a landslide, afterall.

Yea, since Drum Corps press releases have BEEN SO TRUTHFUL in the last 5-7 years. If we believed them, every corps would be a gold medal corps and every single staff change would be for family reasons.
bahahhah

Glad to see this topic is back on track. Truthfully, I expected a lot of Star fans to make an appearance, not that I'm doubting anyone here's love for the former glory that was Star of Indiana. I'm definitely digging the love for Suncoast Sound and 27th, though. Skyryder's too!

They're still technically Contras. A tuba in the key of BBb or CC is considered a contrabass tuba, whereas an F or Eb tuba is considered a bass tuba. So the term "contra" can still technically be used without fear of angering a dino.
