    Oh, good catch.

    However, what camel lips said is that 7th had "become" the standard international placement. Since Kidsgrove placed 6th in  2010 and 2015, that's arguable.

    Still, you're absolutely right that overseas corps have twice placed 7th.

    Correct  I didn't phrase it right, I should have just said "Stop with the BS lies that they ONLY come in 7th"

    Shocker !!

     

    its become the international placement ! 

     

    I would not not be surprised if the trophy was not engraved weeks ago ! Sad ! 

    Too bad its the first time an international corps placed 7th, but facts have never been important for your conspiracy theories.

  3. While I'm certainly pleased with those scores, remember that Bucs had two LONG rides (Wayne and Secaucus) that cut in to their practice time last Sunday and today. The slight widening of the gap may reflect that Cab advantage.

    With all due respect.....STOP the nonsense, now we are bringing up bus rides and shortened practice time? What about the weekends Bucs don't do shows and Cabs are? Again, respectfully, but that's nuts!

  4. .

    Westchester Brassmen were no shows due to member issues, so we have intermission until 7:50.

    :smile:

    On behalf of the Westchester Brassmen, they were not "no shows" Per their director Joe Mazzullo

    The Westchester Brassmen Drum Corps would have loved to perform at the Bridgeport, CT. Barnumfest as we have enjoyed doing it so much in the past. The Brassmen wanted to donate their attendance of the show to the Barnumfest, but due to later notification than usual and some scheduling issues we could not perform at the show this year. We did however march in the scheduled parade and entertained all whom were watching - thank you to all our fans and supporters.

  5. (I have no way of proving that just the general gossip through the circuit).

    Now this is a refreshing admission, previously people would "hear" things and swear to it as gospel because their neighbors have an uncle and his nephew is dating a girl that's mother knits with someone that overhead at the beauty parlor that Corps X.................

    Good Luck to everyone - enjoy yourselves, those are always the most enjoyable shows, when the members are having fun with what they do and........

    LETS GO HAWTHORNE.................

  6. So let me get this straight, you say people calling you on the carpet over something so juvenile, and they wouldn't believe you, yet you claim (see below), then admit you've never been to Wildwood. So what shows have YOU seen, first hand, early on to back up your words below? Go ahead, I'll wait.

    Signed,

    Someone who actually marched in a corps that played Malaguena


    Even corps like Empire, Cabs and Bucs have a hard time getting peeps off their duffs for anything more than the golf clap or maybe some woo hoos during impact points of the show.
  7. Geez Kay you act like this information is classified or something. Or that it should be. HMMMMMMM

    That doesn't even make any sense. Just wondering because for quite some time you seem to respond to many posts pontificating as all knowing, so I figured you must be on staff with DCA or a corps, I mean otherwise how could you know else could you know everything about everything?

  8. DCA has a pretty good handle on this by now. Administrations of each corps should have the prospective 2014 schedule well in hand and it would be each corps' administrative decision as to whether they wish to share that particular information with others within their own organization.

    In other words its on a need to know basis.

    Im sure corps directors don't like to give out this information thinking that someone is going to run with it and start asking off for dates at work only to find that the tentative schedule gets changed and then the prospective employee is stuck with those dates and can't get off any other time (s) .

    Curious - did I miss a memo, hope I didn't miss an opportunity to offer Congratulations.

    Are you an officer of DCA now or a corps director?

  9. Even an organization as tone-deaf as DCI makes sure their international units get a wide audience during finals week.

    If DCA wants to shed the image of being an "east coast circuit," there's still some work to be done.

    And don't make this about "the other corps." Did the other corps take the same financial and organizational risks to travel overseas?

    Don't make this about "the other corps", in other words, yes, completely dismiss their contributions.

    The key word you used is "risk"

    I do not disagree that provisions should be made in the future, and I hope at the next Congress they are made, but until then, you can't or shouldn't go changing policy on the fly for one organization over another because they spent the most and traveled the furthest. There is no reason to change the "east coast circuit" mentality at the cost of the any corps in the circuit, be it a corps from the East Coast or somewhere else. They are not the enemy.

  10. Well, the Cab's guard certainly smoked C2...props to their superiority in that caption; and I gave the edge to Cabs' brass (based on Prelims comparison)...but the .2 spread in Percussion (Finals) could certainly be up for discussion :-)

    Domincardona is right - no good can come of me pointing out someone else's comments that were off, they shall speak for themselves.

    However please understand my initial comment was in no way meant to disrespect C2.

  11. ARe your freakin kidding me? They would not have bumped another corps out? DCA knew they were coming with plenty of advanced noticed. Do you really think it would have been that hard to find another 11 min to schedule you them in?? Maybe start another 11 min early? Heck even offer them a opprotunity to play at the Alumni show. Something for paying out all that money to come play in your sandbox for a 6th place finish.

    Its not that hard to figure out.

    Relax there buddy, I meant NO disrespect towards Heartliners, and if something could have been done that great, but not at the expense of others that worked hard all summer too - that's my point.

    How are you experts doing these days, the ones that you trust in when you told me to COUNT ON IT, you know when you guaranteed that C2 would be passing Cabs and leaving them in the dust.................HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA

    Nothing better then people pontificating on something they know nothing about, but on what they heard at the watercooler. I'm NOT freaking kidding you.

  12. It's completely fair. The higher-ups at Heartliner believed in the activity enough to make an trans-Atlantic trip out. DCA could have at least tried to maximize the audience to say, "hey, we also believe in what you do."

    Lots of people couldn't make it to the Dock show Thursday or Class A prelims. A finals exhibition performance would have made a lot of those people (myself included) happy.

    They need to get rid of the non-finalist Open Class exhibition performance anyway. If you don't make finals, you don't make finals.

    In the process you completely dismiss the other corps that believe in DCA. They worked just as hard.

  13. I would like to petition DCP to re-instate Tom "Dabomb" Allen to the DCP community. After some of the posts I have read on DCP the past year or two, Tom's comments were tame. Besides, no one has as much passion for the activity than he has...especially when it comes to DCA.

    Anyone else agree with me????

    I "heard" he lives in the same DCP retirement community as Connie Breen, any truth to that? :tongue:/>
