[DIV II/III at DCI]

Greetings all!

I'm finally getting to video the big time ... DCI!

I'm going to be producing the video for DIV II/III recap to be shown on the "big screen" during DIV I performance breaks.

What cool moves for what DIV II/III corps should I be looking for to capture on vid?!?!

Thanks in advance!!!

Look for small visiuals in scvc hornline, then the cymbals, then the tenors during the bass solo in the drum solo of the closer!

[What is everyone lacking?]

I don’t know why everyone overlooks the power of quality plumage. The corps with the best plumes always wins. I’m also a believer in sparkly shoes. It’s really quite obvious. Academy would be knocked out of the running if the other corps would invest in some proper plumage. I've seen Academy's plumes, and while they are quite nice, they are not made of marching grade feathers.

so what about the corps with feathers, e.g. scvc!

yesss.. cant wait!

[Tuba (Contra) lines]

You must have added some weights to that DEG. Dynasty's 3-valve contra (G) is 16 lbs. 4oz., and the 4-valve (G) is 25lbs. This comes directly from the Dyansty web site's product specifications.

By comparasin, the Dynasty Bb tubas are 16 lbs. for the 3-valve and 25lbs. for the 4-valve.

As for Kanstul, here's their specs:

Kanstul G Contra Bass Bugle (KCB 201) - 18lbs,

Kanstul G Contra Grande Bass Bugle (KCG 200) - 26lbs.

Kanstul G Contra Grande Bass Bugle (KCB 200/4) - 28lbs.

Kanstul's 5/4 Bb Marching Tuba weighs in at 24lbs.

I can tell you that I play a DEG 4-valve contra and it is at least 35 lbs. I know it has had a couple of braces added but otherwise it is the same as the factory models. I think the weight figures on Dynasty and Kanstuls web sites are highly undervalued. I think they don't want to scare anyone off.

yep i march the 5/4, with no rings, and its totally fun, and heavy
