Yeah.... I mean, if the corps are still seeing the scores in critique, then what's the point except to keep fans from knowing them?

I don't get Hop's logic for the ordinals given that nothing would change with the judging system or what information the individual corps would be privy to. It would just be less information for us fans to chew on. Am I missing something?

So they're just struggling with the digital downloads for some reason....

Any idea when these things are going to be shipped/released? Struggling to figure out what the delay is in uploading the audio files to marchingmusicdownloads.com.

I'm sure this has been answered on DCP somewhere, I'm just too doped on on DayQuil to search: Do these edits effect just the blurays/DVDs or the CD/digital audio as well? Thanks in advance.

So almost an entire drum corps' show worth of time on the Blu-ray to watch in silence. Another year I won't be purchasing.

I don't know that it's a question of who benefits. It just is what it is.

The person they had negotiated the contract with at LB's foundation is no longer there. From what I understand, they bought the Cadets out of their obligation for the next two years, including the arrangement with the NY Philharmonic.

Heard Cadets will *not* be continuing with their Bernstein contract.

I wouldn't limit it to just this past year. And I'm not sure it has to do with the energy of the field show. I'm talking about the overall perception of the corps. Cavies are certainly regaining the mojo they lost when Gaines left. BD hasn't missed a step. SCV still carries the mantle of DCI's classiest act. Crown and Bloo are relative newcomers to the top, but have some #### long souvie lines. I just don't get the sense from Cadets anymore that people are excited about them.

I'm curious what the general perception of the corps is in younger eyes. I've certainly lost some of the awe that first got me hooked on them in the 90s. But when we show quarter-finals to our marching band kids at band camp, the response seems generally tepid from them as well. I know that's not the case for the Cadet MMs, so they are drawing interest. It just seems like the air around the corps has grown stale to a degree, while that around Bloo, Crown, BD, SCV, and even Cavies is more electric. Is that an issue, or am I seeing things that aren't there? If so... how do they get their swagger back?

No, thank YOU guys for an awesome app. Excited to see what you bring to the table for next season!

I see what you're saying (sorry... coffee hasn't kicked in yet). I'd like for 2018 to be a settling-in year for the team, but I'm not sure I see that happening.

Nope. Bernstein has plenty of material to pull from. Cadets need to put something new on the field. I know... crazy thought.

This. We do not need a fourth interpretation of WSS from the Cadets.

Cadets drop 5 tenths. BK up 8 tenths. 6 tenths from 8th place.

I'm curious what you feel is ahead of it's time with regards to this show.

BD is clean and they are selling the crap out of this show. Not my favorite of theirs, but they're undeniable in their ability to write and perform to the sheets. I want SCV, but don't see how it happens.

Speaking of, where/when is that being held?

Based on the number of fundraising emails I've received from him, I wouldn't be surprised if he did.

Literally nothing to apologize for. The app is great and I hope you continue to add and refine it. Next to DCP, it's literally my most used drum corps resource. Keep up the great work!

$2 a year is a phenomenal deal. They've constantly been adding features to this app since they released it and it's now my primary source to look up shows/scores/recaps as I find DCI's site way too #### cumbersome.

So why single out DrumScorps instead of DCI themselves. Why are you putting more stock in a smartphone app than, ya' know... the organization that's actually responsible for drum corps.

Cadets back in the kitchen, prepping my Humble Pie. BAC still lurking outside though. We'll see if they come in and trash the place again.
