Isn't there a penalty already in place? It's called the "You won't be getting the score you would get if this show was complete" penalty.

With regard to Eruption's show title, "Burdens of Brilliance: Inside the Mind of Mozart" is correct.

Hi! Is the King mello really only $50?

Eruption Drum and Bugle Corps from Bonney Lake, WA is currently in the midst of the DCI application process! We're mentioned in this article: http://www.dci.org/news/view.cfm?news_id=6d00148c-fd0f-4cb5-9164-6f33f9996d09 We're also still taking applications for (almost) all sections, especially trumpet, tuba, and keyboards.

Hi there! I'm VERY interested. Would it be possible to get pictures of everything?

BUMP I've only heard from one so far. I know we're more connected than that, DCP. Help a brother out...:)

Hey DCP! I'm hoping to get in contact with one or several point person(s) that may have information about the following corps: Glassmen Teal Sound Revolution Or any others that may not be fielding as of the last few years. Any help would be VERY much appreciated, and will as a result help grow the number of fielding units! Thanks!

Hi there! What's still available?

Eruption Drum and Bugle Corps is certainly planning to make some noise in the entry levels of DCI...

Hello! I sent you an email yesterday, and was wondering if you had seen it, and had a chance to consider it? Thanks!

There are definitely a few thing that need to happen with the Cascades organization: -RECRUITMENT: I tech with 2 high school marching bands in the NW, and neither gets any recruitment or exposure to the Cascades with the exception of the obligatory tent at each fall show. Is this the only thing that needs to change? Absolutely not. Oregon and Spokane have similar recruitment philosophies, yet their numbers reflect good health. What is missing? -THE SHOW: They cannot continue to play generic "McDrumCorps" shows. All this "artistic" original music with a seemingly-random theme glued on top just isn't going to work. The show absolutely plays into the ability to recruit. Oregon plays solid arrangements of recognizable music with a compelling theme. I'm not saying Seattle needs to do that verbatim, but they could definitely handle a little "re-branding." SCV and Madison have had wild success with this as recent as this year. Their shows are emotional and compelling, and you better believe they are seeing new levels of talent (though perhaps REnewed is more accurate) because of this. -THE MEMBERS: I know when I marched, there was a speech given at the end of tour that was all about going back to your individual programs and not being a total jerk because you just got done marching in the big time. I'm not sure if this speech is still given, but I can say from experience that not all MMs heed that advice. I've had kids in both of my programs come back completely changed. Some ways, for the better (technique, rehearsal etiquette, etc), but their demeanor and leadership has left MUCH to be desired. Other members of those groups see this, and think to themselves (and aloud) that marching DCI turns you into a jerk, and they no longer want anything to do with it. Perhaps a little damage control to this end would serve to help recruitment as well? These are just a few of my opinions. I know I kind of hit on some of the things other people have said. I've been stewing on this all summer, and really needed to finally get it off my chest! Let me know what you think!

The show you're thinking of is 2004 Madison, "Madisonic." Actually, one of my favorite shows, and highly underrated.

2000 SCV, Adagio for Strings. Nothing else comes close.

Cascades have a cymbal line!

In no particular order: 2004 Cadets 1995 Madison Scouts 2000 Boston Crusaders 2010 Bluecoats 2000 Santa Clara Vanguard 1989 Phantom Regiment 1997 Crossmen 1993 Star of Indiana 2001 Cascades 2008 Carolina Crown 1980 Spirit of Atlanta 2000 Blue Devils 1997 Cavaliers

I understand and have come to terms with the fact that Cascades may not make Semis. That ship has sailed for me. But OC has been giving BDB a solid run for their money all season. And Revolution has not. Just confused by those placements. Notice the bolding... I respect your opinion one way or the other!

Apparently somebody doesn't play very close attention to Open Class. At all.

Blue Devils-1997 Cadets-1983 Cavaliers-2002 Carolina Crown-2004 Phantom Regiment-1989 Santa Clara Vanguard-1989 Bluecoats-2005 Boston Crusaders-2000 Madison Scouts-1996 Blue Knights-2000 Spirit-1980 Colts-1993 Crossmen-1997 Cascades-2001

Cascades are doing a selection from the show, China Grove, some Lady Gaga medley, and the corps song (Imagine). Pretty entertaining!

I realize, but I've just kinda sat by and read this stuff too much. Those kids deserve the same excitement. Especially with the programs they're putting on the field this year. Someday, the only corps to talk about WILL BE the Top 12. How boring will that be?

DCP is a little discouraging. Nobody cares about the Cascades? OC? Revo? C'mon.

'97 Crossmen '00 Crown '00 Crossmen '00 Scouts '00 SCV '02 Cascades '04 Scouts '04 Cadets

'04 Cadets-I am a little biased, because I love Jethro Tull...BUT STILL! It was a fantastic show that I think a lot of people counted out early the same way people counted out '07 Cavies early. '04 Scouts-Whether or not it sounded great, the ending is possibly he most passionate thing I have ever seen. Those members, and that drum major LOVED what they were doing.

I'm going to break it down: In '06 I loved (in order): 1) Cavaliers 2) Phantom 3) Blue Devils In '07 I loved (in order): 1) Phantom 2) Crown 3) Bluecoats 4) Blue Devils In '08 I loved (in order): 1) Bluecoats 2) Crown 3) Phantom In '09 I loved (in order): 1) Vanguard 2) Phantom 3) Crown In '10 I loved (in order): 1) Bluecoats 2) Crown 3) Scouts So...1) Bluecoats 2) Crown 3) Phantom It's just an opinion. Don't hate. EVERYBODY LOVE EVERYBODY!
