good hygiene....no one likes a smelly kid

If you like white go to Phantom... If you like Cream go to Crown.... If you like Maroon and Gold go to Cadets.... its that simple duh!!

With all that being said....I still really liked the 2009 program just the way it was

cavies 2000 through 2006??

it helps when its not that hard

sooo wanna be a honker and guess the Florida lotto numbers this week?? k? thanks

like Texas and Oklahoma right?

geeze they feast better than I do....

like 'last year's champion' seriously?? or like the '9 time DCI Champs' seriously?? enlighten me... because both are two of a handful of corps that bring the 'serious' approach to retreat, and sound pretty good from where i'm sitting.

You're posts are a tad ridiculous. It's literally maybe 25 seconds of the show they show a little tribute to the corps' 75 years of history in their 75th SHOW! its not more silly than corps forming symbols in their own show that really (according to you) have nothing to do with their shows. Examples...Phantom and the chevron (06 comes to mind), Crown in most years they form a Crown picture (i guess 'triple crown' would make sense though and I thought it was well included). I would understand your argument (kind of) if they were just using WSS music but making the theme of the whole show about the history of the corps. But they don't what so ever. its a WSS show thats a little different from you're ordinary WSS show, that happens to have a slight tribute to the history of THE OLDEST CORPS THAT IS STILL AROUND. To me its very classy and a nice touch before they fly to the end of the show.

Holy Name also hasn't had a show since Thursday??

after reading all those posts I really cant help but think 'its really not that deep'...but thats just me

I have to say as a Cadet alum I am so glad you finally changed your avatar. its about time....

They did, but then the Cadets won some after until later in the season

I hate when forecasters do that....50% chance?!? well duh! its either going to rain or its not

to me your argument sounds like you had a personal instance where you lost to a better corps on an early season show where their show was not complete and yours was....so maybe you're just being bitter?? I think the point is that usually the better corps scores well regardless of their show is truly complete or not. Because I would safely bet that the corps who didnt march the last 2 minutes (but won because of their 'reputation' probably (going out on a limb here)) sounded musically a lot better than the other Corps with a completed show. But I bet the music judges didn't inflate the scores to what they heard.

I thought the same thing when I read that post

.....

I think he was meaning championship caliber back-to-back shows. Honestly Phantom has had great shows for about 8 straight years now....but not all deserving of a ring

Honestly I dont agree with the behavior still after reading this. As a Cadets 2007 ageout, we beat the Devs the last weekend of the season, got booed off the field quarters by the west coast fans, came in striking distance at semis losing by half a tenth, and when we were announced 2nd finals night the place errupted for 2 reasons....1) because the home team won and 2) because the narrated hated Cadets lost. The last several days of my ageout season was an emotional roller coaster. That corps had the biggest ageout class of the Cadets long history.....and you don't think there was a massive desire for the 50+ ageouts to go out with a win? it was rough as well, BUT we didn't act immaturely and pout about it in front of 30 thousand people. We stood there and took our loss. Even with the Blue team cheering obnoxiously five feet away. The Blue Devils of 08 had an upset happen. But Phantom won with Pride the same way the Blue Devils SHOULD HAVE took their loss. Now personally I thought the Blue Devils should have won in 2008. I was shocked by it as well. And after watching the DVD's I agree with their 2007 victory as bitter as I felt, they were the better drum corps. But regardless of the outcome, we're at the most professional level in our activity and we should act accordingly. Not like an immature high school marching band.

my roomate is a third year vet and contra age out this year, said they're marching 11 vets in the contra line and about 10ish auditioned for one spot. the years I marched there, we barely had enough contras to fill 10 spots before move-ins...let alone have more than a few vets. I though that was pretty interesting indeed. but I also hear there are a lot of vets returning to the corps this year to be apart of the 75th. Kinda wish I could re-write my birth certificate to go back and march this season.....

I completely agree....many ppl hated how ESPN showcased DCI, but at least it was being showcased....

i guess my shows were really easy.....actually the first corps I was at we did breathing block, the second corps we didnt. I did and will always see it as a waste of time. But different strokes for different folks.

no, drum corps builds character.....breathing blocks build nothing. waste of time if you ask me
