Dynasty Drums shut down?
xxxdcifanxxx replied to mingusmonk's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
The products they made were the worst quality of anything I have ever used. -
The current cymbal staff at Crossmen is notoriously difficult to work with. Instead of integrating into the corps and supporting it they decided to be cocky and act superior to the other sections. I am not surprised by this decision.

Pioneer Suspended by DCI
xxxdcifanxxx replied to lifeisaround's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
I completely agree that Pioneer should be suspended. However, I do wonder how dci would react to corps with similar issues that are more important to their bottom line. If a top 6 group had member complaints like this I do not think dci would take the same action. It's really easy to suspend a corps that is bottom of the pack, not as easy when it's cadets, Cavaliers, phantom, etc. They would get probation. -
What if DCI had different leagues...
xxxdcifanxxx replied to Hrothgar15's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Hrothgar never ceases to amaze me.... -
Some of those uniforms might change.

So what are some of the corps looking at as far as drum line numbers? Snare, bass, quads, cymbals...18-23ish people?

Academy's Cymbal Line
xxxdcifanxxx replied to MR2Fast2Catch's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
I'm going to have to agree with this. All season it was kind of hit and miss with their sounds. They were running a lot, but I don't think that helped them. Changing cymbals 3 times was probably a bad move as well, seeing as they never really utilized each pair differently. On the other hand, I highly respect the some of the other cymbal lines out there. -
I think they are going to be a few surprises at Denver that will rattle quarterfinals. Watchout for a few corps that have been under the radar.

Academy and the Part Time Penalty
xxxdcifanxxx replied to tboneloser22's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Looking back on some of the scores from 2004, it seems like PC was going up and up until Indy when it looks like they dropped into the 17th place range. From then on out, the score kept going down and down until it settled 6 points lower than what it was the week before. I think this was also the year that DCI made Esperanza and PC perform before the national anthem, I'm not confident though. -
Blue Stars pass Academy
xxxdcifanxxx replied to xxxdcifanxxx's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
The Academy -
The Blue Stars just beat The Academy by .6 points. After seeing them early in the season in SoCal and on the San Antonio web cast, I have not noticed the huge improvement I was expecting. They blew me away earlier this year and I put them in a guaranteed finals spot, possibly as high as 8th place. Now, after seeing the SA show I noticed that really nothing has changed except for some things being a little cleaner and some maneuvering sequences that involved body and horn work. Their show was clean then and it is clean now, but that's the problem. I'm afraid that have no where to go because their show wont really improve much from the level they are performing it at. I think it is going to be a bloodbath for those bottom spots at finals, as I see it, any one of the following corps has a fighting chance: Colts The Academy Glassmen Pacific Crest Blue Stars Spirit from JSU Crossmen Here's to what is shaping up as one of the best years ever.

Am I the only one that feels they were over hyped?

Drum Corps in California
xxxdcifanxxx replied to KFanti's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
California is big. Think of it as 4 east coast states where everyone in the south is awesome and everyone in the north is hella cool. Also, the Terminator is our governor. Come with me if you want to live... -
San Antonio schedule
xxxdcifanxxx replied to LAMystreaux's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Does anyone remember the mess at 2004 championships? The performance order went Esperanza, PC, National Anthem, start of the show. Both Esperanza and PC got totally screwed by DCI that year. -
ATTENTION: Academy Honks
xxxdcifanxxx replied to DCfan76's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Um, did you fall off the turnip truck today or what? If anything, PC got more flack than anyone, including Academy. If memory serves me right, a lot of it was from people like you. -
The Academy: Will they make finals?
xxxdcifanxxx replied to MikeySaysWoof's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
I honestly think that once Academy starts competing with more corps (San Antonio) they will fall back a little into a more comfortable 14-17 range. -
Anaheim Kingsmen Alumni Corps
xxxdcifanxxx replied to Backstrom's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
I find it odd that this "alumni" corps has people in it that werent even alive when the corps was around, hardly "alumni" if you ask me. -
I'm putting all my chips on semis.
-
Corps yet to give it a go are: Cascades PC Academy BK Boston Crossmen
-
Who do you see making the biggest jump in the rankings?
-
Can someone delete this, the poll didn't work.
-
So, what do you all think?
-
Did you ever notice how a lot of corps have cars that share similar names? How many examples can we all think of? Isuzu Trooper- Troopers Chevy Cavalier- Cavilers Chrysler Pacifica- Pacific Crest (maybe) Ford Crown Victoria- Crown Ford Colt- Colts Fleetwood Southwind- Southwind I swear there is a Scout and some sort of Pioneer. Can anyone else think of some more?

how long are we going to be hearing about this "world champion" impulse group? they seem to be the only ones putting it on EVERYTHING they can.
