Question, are we not getting commentary or off field interviews with Steve Rondanaro for finals? Have they been doing it for prelims or semis streams? I remember they used to do that for finals, this is my first time streaming in years

Action Wipes all natural wet wipes is doing a sale for the new year, 20% off with code "FEST2015" This product is really useful for members and spectators all year round, for after rehearsals or at shows. Wet wipes that use all natural ingredients and can be repurposed later on after wash, smell great and don't leave a sticky residue like most baby wipes. Wish I had these when I was marching. http://actionwipes.com/

no synths. I think the recording was available for some time on the BD website at the end of the season.

Listen if you're a bioengineering major and you're coming from out of state you should just go to UCSD whether there is a marching band program nearby or not. If you are thinking of going to UCR you might as well save some money and go to a state school instead. RCC is only 1.5 hours from San Diego (I did it for 3 years for the winter drumline, it's not so bad) and Pacific Crest is about 2 hours away in Diamond Bar.

yeah that Capital Regiment Everest show in 2002 was really really good. 2nd place in div 2 finals then made Div 1 semifinals later that week [back when div 2 corps could do that].

They offer gigs to members of both the winterline and marching band in order to recieve credits towards their member fees. I believe this particular gig included some from both and the company even hired some "drummers" from outside of RCC.

7 years in 3 divisions (when there were 3...)

Ahh yes I remember those Boring shirts... or "putting the Bb in Boring." Do they still sell those?

Loved this show! First year I saw the Glassmen in person, I loved the music and their style.

Congratulations Blue Devils and Carolina Crown, two amazing corps, two amazing shows. I'm a proud alumni tonight.

Some up close shots of the new uni from Crown's FB page.

I've only seen it at Mira Mesa. It was ok, the volume wasn't that loud.

Yes but I think their role is more with the battery at MV and RX. Credit is due to the front ensemble writers responsible for these effects, Jim Wunderlich (MV/BD) and Andrew Markworth (RX/Carolina Crown). I expect both to do some great things with their productions this year.

Blue Devils, what J.W. does with his WGI/H.S. groups and synths is amazing.

What I don't understand is how a 28 page thread bashing The Blue Devils and the members is still open. Seriously not a word of constructive discussion.

Wasn't this topic beat to death after finals, why would anyone bring this up again? It's already the 2009 season for crying out loud! People move on, just like us Blue Devils have. I know we were all disappointed finals night, but I don't really know of any of my corpsmates who are still bitter about it, we had the best show of our lives that night. Move along, nothing to see here. :bla:

I felt Crown's 2008 Front was a big stup up from 2007 even, not to mention how far the percussion section in general has come since 06.

I miss the Glassmen "Boring" or "Bboring" shirts.

Has to be Doyle, that guy was great at our rehearsal. His judge tape of our run through was even better. :]

Riverside Community College, The college band in exhibition at BOA Grand Nationals this year, has used electronics (synths, amps, amping soloists,) for years. This is their 5th time attending as the band in exhibition I believe?
