In.
By the way, wasn't there a rule change that took away the percussion 2 judge? There weren't 2 perc judges at regionals or at OC Prelims. If there is no percussion 2 judge this year, and I don't think there is one, a score ending with .025, .125, etc. (such as 98.125 like last year, or 99.025) is impossible. Just thought people should consider that before picking.

How funny, today is my mother's birthday as well! Happy Birthday!

No matter what you say, you can't argue against this being a good day for Crown.
BD was 3.65 ahead of Crown at Atlanta. They are now .5 if you combine today and yesterday. Obviously there might be a bias in favor of Crown tonight, but clearly they would not have been 3.15 points different if they performed yesterday instead of today. They have definitely made some headway recently.
I mentioned in another thread that BD's scores compared to the Bluecoats got closer in each show up until (and including) yesterday from Atlanta. It seems like they might be plateau-ing (although maybe BD did just have an off show).
Looking forward to a good championship week!

Crosby is a complainer.
Crown is not.
I'm a Devils fan...but WIN!

echoes....Mich. City is the perfect Open Class venue. I believe the corps and city would be better served to have the entire OC events here during Finals week. I know one DQ owner who would be very, very happy.
I've been to that DQ! Also, I agree that it is a good site for Open Class, but (I may be wrong on this) it seems to me like Open Class does better when they are in the same venue as the World Class Corps for Semis/Finals (see Pasadena 2007).

Raiders! Loved the show! Little bit too much narration in the begining for me. It was much more mellowed out in the other segments. Sections were all well balanced. Colorguard seemed to have several drops more than I would have expected. I REALLY enjoyed the arrangment of the selected pieces. Very patriotic! Next up, Cap Reg! I saw this show in Toldeo a while ago. Let's see how its changed.
Thanks for the review! Glad to hear you enjoyed the show!

Alright Dutch Boy! The percussion in this corp is far above the rest. I don't know much about guard but they looked like they kept it together. They need more horns on the field for this show to be more effective. There was also a lot of problems with feet across the corps. Good job thought. I enjoyed the show. Next up, raiders....erm BK?
Just FYI Raiders have had their uniform longer than BK has, and the uniforms are slightly different. Anyway thank you for the reviews!

Hey Adam, I remember you from Cadets camps!
It's always better for a corps if you stay with them and go somewhere else but even if you go somewhere else or take the year off (like I am doing) then you can still support your old corps in other ways, like buying souvenirs and recruiting people to join your old corps. I wouldn't feel guilty about it because you are paying to do corps and you want the best experience for your money, but it is nice to show support for your old corps in any way possible.

I honestly like it more than Phantom 08. Possibly my favorite drum corps show. The part of the closer where they are all jazz running seriously brings me close to tears every time I watch it despite what anybody says about how they sound, it was just so demanding and I felt it was incredible.

Here's a link to a great DC-eye pic of the Raiders' Drum Major, since we were on the topic of Raiders pics: http://www.dci.org/news/view.cfm?news_id=1...da-2011b43e970a (not sure how to embed a pic).

Just reminding everyone that this is today
-
Awesome job guys!!! Can't wait for the Jackson show.
-
It sure is great to see the Raiders do so well at their first show! A 70 may be their highest first score in history and sure is a lot higher than last year! Go get 'em, see you guys in Jackson!!!
-
Again, I just said Academy 06 was the best I've seen. My personal favorite is Oregon Crusaders 06 though, what a great show that was.
-
Best I've seen was Academy '06...that was a great year for Div II/III all around.

My AIM does not seem to be working tonight =( oh well.
-
Still have yet to see this clarinet come out. Starting to wonder if I missed it...
Doubt you missed it it's pretty unmissable...he has a solo right in the beginning of Rhapsody in Blue, he's all you hear right at the start.
-
I'm having a hard time finding the room. Can someone help me out? I enter drumcorps in the search bar and it tells me it can't find anything.
Go to AIM on the top left, click on chat, buddy chat, enter drum corps as the chat name, and invite yourself.
-
We doing this again?
-
-
Nope, pretty sure I was listening to the Bluecoats playing their show this year...uhh...at least I think?
-
I just bought the fan network and downloaded this APD. I love it! Towards the end of the show I felt like I was listening to a movie soundtrack. Low brass sounds amazing! Hope they don't cut the horn runs this year like they did last year.
-
nevermind...

Well if we're going to include Finalists for Open Class as shows that didn't make finals, then I'll add ECJ 06 and OC 06 to Academy 06.
Some questions to members of the Cadets

That is, he USED to get the biggest response at driver introductions, until Evernham left and Johnson/Knaus have taken over the sport. Hopefully he will win again this year!
