    Welcome to the club. The tour, which reflects the activity, is a shadow of its former self.

    It would fit for Crown thematically as well - Koyaanisqatsi in the Hopi language translates to ‘life out of balance’. And a frequent criticism of Crown is that they are imbalanced - the visual design doesn’t work as well as the music.

    Koyaanisqatsi has Carolina Crown written all over it.

    We had some no turn unstoned people BITD…

    1976 & 86 Blue Devils Channel One Suite. Buddy Rich tune so you know the drum parts will mesh well.

    Part of the problem is that scores are greatly inflated across the board. But that is a separate issue.

    Devil’s advocate - If the judges are so experienced and knowledgeable as DCI states before they are introduced at every show, then why would they need to go back in Competition Suite and adjust numbers? If they are experts, shouldn’t they know a 7.7 vs a 7.6 when they see it?

    Plus there are some who would have marched Mandarins looking for a home…😕

    Well, the 2026 Corps is younger as a good bit of the 2025 Corps is now 22 years old.

    I also don’t know if BAC will win back-to-back titles in 2025-26. But I confidently predict if any Corps does in 2026, it will be BAC.

    Doesn’t DCI consistently maintain that the judges are experienced experts in their captions and thus the only individuals on planet Earth qualified to assign scores? If this is true, then they certainly wouldn’t assign a score based on the placement of the Corps the previous season!?!

    College band (Purdue) did a Canadian trip. On way back, at border, Gendarmerie realized that one of the snare drums weighed much more than the others. Drummer had put many bottles of Canadian whiskey in drum. He wasn’t in band any more after that.

    Some Corps will place higher than in 2025. Some Corps will place lower than in 2025. Some Corps will place the same as in 2025.

    Wasn’t next day, but in 1999 there was Sunday evening show in DC suburbs (I was there had Madison. Cadets, SCV et al); next show was DCI prelims in Madison. 900+ miles between shows. Idk how many Corps made the trip nonstop (except for food/fuel break). Also heard from BITD Anaheim driving nonstop (except food/fuel) CA to Boston. So long trips did happen
