to answer the questions of the people wondering which part of Sweeney Todd BD is playing, it is the same as Carolina Crown. Granted it will be a different arrangement. I personally think I will like Carolina Crown's arrangement better, and I feel that I will like the sound of Carolina Crown better this year because of their low brass.

edited question at top

Whose arrangement AND performance will be better? Or will you guess you will enjoy more.

WOW. Great laugh

The cowboys stadium would be amazing for Drum Corps. Main reason because there is going to be a HUGE screen hanging from the roof (like at basketball stadiums), spanning from the 20 yard line to the 20 yard line. Now that's a HUGE screen. It would be good for camera footage during shows and stuff.

The symphonic band piece, Prelude, Siciliano, and Rondo.

all the oldies will see the activity this year, and realize that the activity isn't going to change as much as they thought because most corps will probly stick to the same game plan, and not very many oldies will leave the activity in 09. quite bold, but possibility

They did before SCV added on their closer. They were just marching through the beautiful ballad. Once they added the closer, they couldn't handle the final drill yet, it was too difficult for them at that point in the season, so BD surpassed them. My prediction: The Academy will get 13th yet again, after another season of hype. Phantom's show will be a favorite but they will not be in top 3. Same with Bluecoats.

Really???

synchronized swimming has got to be the hardest sport in the world IMO, not many people can do what they do

I guess this sort of relates to the other thread about hornlines, but i want to find out which hornline excels in which area. For example, give the best soprano section, mellos, bari-euphs, and tubas. For me its: Tubas---BlueCoats Bari/Euph---Phantom Mellos---Blue Knights, or Cadets Sopranos---Blue Devils

I am an age-out member in The Colts. I don't mean that people will change their mind completely, I mean you will give them bad vibes for the activity, which could possible cause less enjoyment, because they would be thinking "these electronics are really stupid", when they might actually sounds pretty cool. Nobody knows. They would just go in to a show with a negative attitude. That's all I have to say. i'm not trying to be rude, I'm just saying, all the negativity about the rules is probably going to spoil the experience for some people

that makes a LITTLE more sense... this is just their second year in World class, not their first

My response is this: The opinions to keep to yourself are the opinions you wish to tell everyone in order to get MORE people to leave the activity like you said. That's just spreading the negative attitudes. Now why would you want to do that? Some people still like the activity, maybe they (me included) aren't fond of the new rules, but we can deal with it. Why are you guys are trying to take other people out with you? That's the only thing I don't understand.

he probly got Academy confused with another new corps
