  1. whoa...now who said anything about Southwind concentrating on beating Cadets...no one said that.....this whole thing really has nothing to do with competitiveness....it's a matter of personal enjoyment of fans talking about these particular shows.
  2. No one says that Southwind is cleaner or more talented than Cadets. The Cadets are EXTREMELY talented, and each caption is very strong. You are entitled to your opinion and I'm sure everyone is glad you like the Cadets. I'm a Cadets fan, but I really dislike this years show and I thought Southwind was more entertaining. I guess that makes me stupid too.
  3. not very good at the review thing but here goes. Teal Sound - I really like their uniforms. This is my first time finally seeing a Div. 2 corps. They had some really nice moments and some really weak ones, but it's June. They have a tremendous amount of potential. Hornline was pretty decent. The battery although I'm a hornline guy is what stood out to me in this group. The Magic - Very strong opening statement. Went very quickly downhill. Lots of work needed. not likely in semi-finals this year either. Southwind - WOW!! The opposing high - low brass uniforms make a really neat effect in the drill....although when coming out the gate, and the way their shakos are, I swear they looked like the KKK. Anyway, I think they might possibly be more enjoyable than last year. Strong semi-finalist corps. They had a very good quality hornline sound. Spirit - WOW, just WOW. I was not expecting this. Clearly the crowd favorite tonight, of course it's pretty much a home show. What a hornline this year, they have some volume, and some really good quality sound. THey have some pretty decent drill to go along. The opener was extremely good. Ballad was beautiful minus a bari-solo mishap which I'm sure won't happen to often. Third tune was very enjoyable, what a soprano line. One of the best of the night honestly besides the solo in this tune, but I heard the guy had an ulcer inside his lip...OUCH. The closer was very enjoyable also. Bari solo was awesome for blues in the night....nice balance between the 2 pieces(Blue in the Night and Blue Shades). They built into each other nicely and not like a MEDLEY. Once again, I gotta say, thats a really good hornline this year. I can't wait to hear them later this season when they have a better handle on this pretty tough show this year. Phantom - LOUD - powerful hornline, better than usual drill, phenomenal battery. This is a VERY DARK show. While it is enjoyable to me as a trained musician, I think the general dci fan might think its a bit far out there. Cadets - well I don't like to say negative about any corps, so I'll simply say, they have an amazing hornline, but you dont' get to experience it much during the show. The encore however, could peel paint of a wall. I actually enjoyed last years show quite a bit even with it being pretty far fetched. They had a good horn book and good drill. This year, all the voices takes away from that unbelievable hornline*possibly better than last years believe it or not*. At the beginning, it reminded me of a pop concert. The vocalist welcomed the crowd and said something along the lines of thanks for coming out tonight and hope you enjoy. I definitely had Phantom higher than Cadets tonight. Most enjoyable was Spirit though
  4. i tried importing on itunes and also tried to just add to the library...neither did anything. so does someone possibly have an old version of easyWMA to share?
  5. so I'm trying to be able to put the apds on my ipod. I had to download Windows Media Player to hear them but it just plays them and wont convert. The FAQ on season pass says that easyWMA is freeware, but it's not...it costs 10 bucks. I already spent nearly that on the recordings. Any suggestions??
  6. so I am listening to some drum corps cds. I have listened to Spirit 2003 over and over. That was a really good show. Nice hornline and they were actually loud compared to recent years.....can we hope for that kind of sound again soon?? I particularly love the ballad October. There's this really really nice backfield solo at the end. Does anyone know that soloist? Am I correct in saying that was the melody from Let It Be Me that they used to do so much back in the 80's??
