I thought Spartacus was pretty self-explanatory... or are there multiple versions of it?
I was under the impression they were going to call the show Spartacus but play a rep. all their own.

I think most corps have to wait until all days before they get their shinny new drums. Maybe when someone gets new pictures they can post them in a new thread? eh?

Star by a tenth again?!?! It really is a conspiracy!
-
This made me think, has there ever been an organization to field separate corps in DCI and DCA but still under the umbrella of one organization? Slightly resembling how some junior corps organizations field an A and B (and C) corps.

I think after we finished our last movement, we should have arced it up in front of the front sideline and played Georgia one last time... we were in finals and we couldn't drop in placement... I think it would have been cool.

As much as I do love hearing Spirit play Georgia, I think it would have held up the contest and been a tad unprofessional.

do "the national anthem" by radiohead, and sound as mingus-like as that horn section.

I always feel like they have some top secret ending waiting for finals (and usually they do) but I think the anticipation I feel waiting for it all summer, never is what I was looking for.
It's almost a let down because I'll spend all season analyzing their show and think of what the designers might have in store. Almost to the point of imaging exactly what they're going to do and then when they put it on the field finals night I can't help but think: "####, I could have done better than that..."

Battling? Let's see:
Lions beat the Bears twice this year--ok. 10 win guarantee?
Pistons dominate the Bulls. Bulls are 3-0 this year vs Detroit
Red Wings dominate the Blackhawks. Hawks are 4-1 vs. Detroit this year.
Tigers have been dominating the White Sox. Detroit win a World Series recently? Sox won in 2005. Detroit 1984.
Are they sure they want another Chicago team to be beaten by another Detroit team? Not this year!! Other years, yea they've killed Chicago.
Go Devils,

Not to mention, DSO doesn't hold a candle in the wind to CSO, especially in the Reiner years...

I think it is about time someone did a "Holy Grail" show.
Great music, cool story, hilarious musical.
Here! Here!

look on the bright side -- if they win, they'll have MONEY to make them feel better!
MONEY fixes everything, you know.

Especially when you've taken it from a non-profit organization working with kids..

haha woo im in magic 04. im sure if anyone has pictures of us there can be some funny ### pictures comin
Just for you....
-
The Magic 05 contra line in there "sleep time lol!" too bad we didnt get that in 06!
Yeah, we were treated like Kings (and Queen) in 05.

And what a Major Bummer that is. I'm not sure a lot of people are going to be jumping on the $450.00+ tags for those players. Warner Brothers really turned on a dime and stabbed Toshiba and all us HD DVD owner in the back.
They do carry a rather outlandish price tag but I've seen several for under $300. I would love it if DCI took your idea EB! I think the current price of the DCI DVDs are ridiculous, but for bluray quality I'd be willing to settle for about $140-160.
-
There is/was a Blast II. I have the DVD, but not all that good compared to the original, which is still rather strong in Japan.
I didn't know they made a DVD for Shockwave, link?

DCI's "Countdown" for 2008 = Six corps spanning 2005-2007.....$14.00
DCI's "Countdown" for 2009 = Three corps spanning 2007-08.....$17.50
DCI's "Countdown" for 2010 = One corps Band from 2009..................$20.00
Fixed

Colts 07
Seconded, those kids were amazing.

Living in Florida all of your life gets you a little used to the weather but there were days, esp. Louisiana and Texas that made me say "D@mn.."
-
OK, you had to know it was coming...
Big Sky Reveliers from Billings, Montana and the Appleknockers from Geneva, NY.
Can you see it? Oh well, nevermind
-
It looks like there were six corps whose representatives voted NO on both of the main points of contention here (amplification of brass and electronic instruments) - Boston, Colts, Madison, Mandarins, Phantom and Spirit.
I guess it's time to put up or shut up.
If you disapprove of the passage of those two rules, go to websites of one or more of the corps who voted no and buy a souvenir. You don't have to wait until the summer to show your support for them sticking up for tradition. Buy a t-shirt or a cap or a bumper sticker online NOW.
Or shut up and quit whining about the changes.
I know I'm getting my credit card out right now.
Or you could just donate money...

BTW, "s***s" doesn't get filtered, mods.

No, George Hopkins is!

And Kennedy was shot with an ice bullet?

Any hints of a mac release?
Run Parallels or Boot camp!

I'd like to see the top Open Class corps compete in quarters.
I think that is a marvelous idea! If DCI had the top 10 open class corps perform during World Class Quarterfinals they would really fill up the list.
-
Yeah but why?
Was it because they had a bad tour last summer and wanted to go somewhere where they knew they would be feed and taken care of?
Was it because there were large staff defections?
I did know that some of the brass players (only a few) went to those corps. BUT I also know that some of them have gone to places like troopers and back to OC because they wanted to have a better summer experience. If the kids were being treated great and the corps was being managed well there would have only been a handful of people that would have gone somewhere else.
In addition, most of those corps you mentioned are not making huge expansions in their horn lines. They are however making just as big if not bigger expansions in their color guards which begs the question:
If the 150 rule is the reason the brass line was small than how come the color guard was not as well?
Considering the sheer lack or world class corps on the west coast BD and SCV are the obvious choices for places to march for these members who were mistreated.

Why not both?
