I'm sure this has been said numerous times but - BECAUSE OF THE AMPS!!!! OK - maybe it's not so bad if you leave the amps for the pit only - and by that I mean for their instruments! No singing, No narration, blah blah blah... And turn them down!

When I heard the beginning of the Cadet's show in San Antonio. - Then it made me sick...

Good afternoon ALL - I was fortunate enough to attend both sessions in the Alamodome yesterday and had a wonderful time. Here's my (old fart) thoughts on what I saw: Revolution - Really nice DL - good brass - wonderful cg Pioneer - fairly entertaining - just needs to clean it up Seatte Cascades - very nice show - a bit sloppy but nice concept The Magic - Honestly the most entertaining show of the afternoon! just technically a bit rough Esperanza - much more technically sound but just a bit boring Southwind - these guys were good - just plain good Cap Regiment - better - just better Mandarins - nice uniforms - decent show Blue Stars - Great to have them back! good performance Crossmen - man was I anticipating this show and they let me down so badly. Their technique was good but they are using microphones - narration - crap ----just crap.. ruined the whole show. Colts - awesome from start to finish Spirit - this is when you felt like the big boys were coming up! They wailed! great show Glassmen - well performed - just little boring Madison Scouts - The boys are BACK! Best drumline by far of the afternoon! - should never have been seeded in the afternoon group. Blue Knights - good show - well done but a bit anticlimatic after just seeing the scouts... Boston Crusaders - really pretty tight - lots of props on the feild - very distracting Carolina Crown - Very well done drill - drumline needs work though Santa Clara - had it all going as usuall The Cadets - BAD - Just Bad I actually left to get a hot dog rather than subject myself to any more of their marching band like joke of a show.... Singing? Phantom was at their best! best performance of the night for me! Bluecoats - great in all areas - awesome drumline Cavies - wonderful! just wonderful BD - wonderful as well - it was close...
