1991 Star of Indiana, drill was dirty, that's by nature of their demand though 1993 Cadets, quite a bit of foot phasing here and there, but that's because demand again. There were parts of Cadets 2000 brass wise towards the end, but overall i thought it was clean. 1994 Blue Devils not exactly the cleanest drill..... 1997 Blue Devils color guard, hm...........? 1998 The Cadets brass and guard.. hmm... yeah maybe it was just them off a little, visually wow, but those two sections. 2006 Cavaliers - ummm not exactly all there with the dots here and there, clean up there were some noticable "off dots" these are almost all because the demand at those sections or shows were too hard to keep everything in sync, not cus they just decided to be dirty or didn't deserve it

Yes yes yes I changed, it oh my god the world's turned upside down discuss... I confused the two.... discuss for another 2 pages lol :P

In my opinon that is the cleanest 3rd place show ever.

Which shows would you consider as very clean, but did not win the title? 1988 Blue Devils 1989 Phantom Regiment 1992 Star of Indiana (More so brass wise) 1996 The Cadets 1998 Blue Devils 1997 The Cadets 2000 Blue Devils 2001 Blue Devils Winner: 2003 The Cadets

The Cavaliers, the wasn't as cool live, I like it much more now, another very enjoyable show, not much emotion that could be wrought out. Fun in general The multicam for the Phantom Regiment is very well done, fantastic guard work, seems like they were on fire. Audience and GE were definitely there that night to eat it up. Great brassline, great great great brassline, solid work. Maybe it's me but you can't hear much percussion, brassline, in my opinion were much louder, not much exposition of the battery except for a few places. Favorite of the package! Maybe it's me but I don't think Blue Devils pushed much of their "envelope" far from the last few years. Yes they had some cool drill moves, but nothing that special. Hornline was a little weak to me now that I see it. Bluecoats, an enjoyable show, but I don't think I'll watch it that much, I enjoyed last years much more. Wow I'm very very very impressed with The Cadets 2006, watch that high cam, they're moving like CRAZY. Yes, live it was sensory overload, but now that I have the DVD, it takes more than 1 viewing to see the ridiculous amount of design elements embedded within the show. Santa Clara Vanguard, put out a visual masterpiece, amazing drill, with a great tilt of innovation. Cannot stop watching their off-the-field block, beautiful. Stunning flip ripple of the last set. Standing ovation Blue Knights, if this show was clean as top 3 material, I think it'll turn a lot of heads. Very intellectual and dark, some great great drill writing happening. I think there were some sets that could have looked better. The corps seemed very quiet compared to the others. Definitely made you want to lean forward in your seat to hear somethings Carolina Crown, wow, what a show, it's got it's work done for it, I'll be watching this 8th place show quite a lot. Fantastic, absolutely fantastic hornline. Great drill design, seems like they upped it quite a bit since 2004 and 2005. Great plumes, and excellent effect, crowd loved them!

The Cadets, not for vocalization but more for their saturation of design elements. Today many of us called The Cadets' show over-designed, almost to the point as to be described as a visual overload. But shows are getting more complex, and I look and see The Cadets as the corps with that sense of putting so many elements in a show to enhance effect from all 360 degrees.

I'd be pretty statisfied if I had designed 2006 Cadets, seeing how that show gets more attention than the world champion corps. Positive or Negative, art does its job simply when a person gives complementary or disdainful thoughts upon it.

The Cavaliers - Good Phantom Regiment - Great Blue Devils - Good Bluecoats - Good The Cadets - Good Santa Clara Vanguard - Great Blue Knights - Okay Carolina Crown - Great

It's november, Hmm drum corps auditions for 2007 have begun, why do you still talk about 2006's abomination so frequently. I'm asking this as a serious question. Do you keep talking about 2006 Cadets because you don't think people yet understand that people had mixed or negative reactions towards it?

Them telling you that you have a lousy tone, and telling you not to do drum corps are two different things.

It never did affect my playing. Honestly it never did. I just developed a much better endurance for playing. If its any where it helped me grow was in brass choir. Do not listen to the opinions of someone who has not done the activity. Experience is the greatest reliablity when asked for an opinion. Of Bands, Orchestras, Wind Ensembles, Choirs, Drum Corps, etc..

YEEEEAHHHH something like that anything bigger?

No no something like the picture in the first one, not just regular portraits of members Not yet

You fail at life. God help anyone who doesn't answer the prompt correctly!

Does anyone have a picture similar to Just a picture of the Audience from the back sideline of finals. Doesn't matter what finals, just a similar angle but in High Resolution ?

My friends who march Surf tell me great things are happening with that corps. I hope they do become division one. Kind of funny how a division 2 corps gets hundreds of people show up to the first camp while some division 1s are struggling.

It's my favorite Phantom Regiment show ever. I just can't find a phantom show this beautiful. It's dark, evil, emotional comon!

1993 Cadets

Similar to the Non-High Brass Drum Corps. Discuss! 1996 Phantom Regiment - One of the cleanest flaglines of that year, emotional and theatrical repretoire 2001 The Cadets - Fantastic, absolutely fantastic work, artistically beautiful as well! 2002 Blue Devils - A really solid performance, very clean, with a demanding body to it. 2003 The Cadets - holy clean. Gave Blue Devils a run for the money! 2004 Carolina Crown - Whew, great great great. Formidable Work written and executed. 2004 Santa Clara Vanguard - Adam Sage, great work, very theatrical, awesome uniforms. 2006 The Cadets - Not going to lie, an absolutely beautiful book, especially that ballad. 2006 Phantom Regiment - Possibly my favorite guard of the 2000s so far. Adam Sage is a wonderful designer, Includes: gorgeous uniforms great silks and one really theatrical rep.

It was vague, but I elaborated and furthered the definition, so there. What now? :P

Oh no, Drum and Bugle corps on a massive engine/database for Wikipedia, don't pull a leg, it's not getting critiqued man... haha It's not the same thing as searching something like the Respiratory System in there...

Don't play this definition game with Drum and Bugle corps, especially on Wikipedia where anyone can change a definition of a small world definition of a summer youth activity... If you wanna go by that Defintion, the word "only" wasn't used, It say consisting of brass instruments, percussion instruments, and color guard. It didn't say anything exclusion of any other aspect of the activitiy.

Electronics, as shown by many corps today can be done very well and tastefully. I would rather enjoy it naturally without the amping of things. The basic jist is that amplification/electronics are option, and DCI isn't forcing the use of amplification

are you playing a tongue in cheek or are you being pessmistic? if brandt crocker asks, "Is your corps ready?" that means he acknowledges them as corps, and if he does, i think it's safe to say that they are drum corps/.

Gino has given the cadets a very loud sound, the tone is crass for my taste, but I certainly enjoy the amount of volume that they provide.
