Yeah, I'll be real surprised if this panel doesn't put Crown over SCV tomorrow night. -

Depending on how far each corps needs to go, you're going to run into issues with drivers running out of hours. -

Honestly, I wouldn't have been surprised if all the corps had been mandated to do non-uniform shows. Maybe there's more tolerance for risk with these newer uniforms than previously (that's not snark - I'm guessing(?) the newer ones are lighter?) -

Viv. Truly one of a kind. All DCI volunteers are extremely generous and enthusiastic, but he's in a class of his own. -
Yep, that happened. It was also the third show draft of that year, and that ballad survived about one week on tour before the decision was made to replace it. We didn't learn it until we got to Georgia.

It was in the show announcement. -

This show is awesome. Not really criticizing the current uniforms, which aren't that bad, but I'm sitting here wondering what it would look like if they had just done the traditional Kelly green tops (pre-2010). Just a thought exercise, I suppose. -
Staff Merry-go-round 2018 Edition

BK, with a shift in brass caption head but otherwise the same, I believe: http://ascendperformingarts.org/blue-knights-announce-design-team-caption-heads-for-2018-season/ -
TOC/NightBEAT Winston-Salem, NC - July 30

I know we've all observed the improvement in competitive quality/talent across junior corps over the last few years, but for as good as the USMC corps was a few years ago, they've clearly improved as well. -
Tim resigning was not due to the situation with the security guard. But all around good pickup for OC, and good for Tim too.

A Friday-Sunday setup likely would not be possible given the current deal with LOS and NFL preseason games.

Mainly Rainy Metamora
hornandsoccer replied to rainshdw08's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
As I recall, grass field plus a semi-prominent crown. One year I was there it had been raining through the day, but cleared in time for the show. We got out there and it was an ice rink. Here's hoping for a dry night and a dry field. -
Boston Crusaders 2015 - 75th
hornandsoccer replied to 7567BC's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
For those referencing hornline sound: the new brass staff there is a bunch of pre-2010 Cavaliers staff, aka 2011 Vanguard staff as well. I'll be curious to see where they go volume-wise. In the moments of characteristic George lush arrangement, though, I think they are going to sound glorious. -
Most difficult shows
hornandsoccer replied to Madisonscoutsfan's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
I'm homering this one a bit, but I'd like to throw SCV 11 out there for visual difficulty, as well as music ensemble difficulty, both to (extreme, perhaps?) excess. -
I have a used, fully functional Yamaha YEP 202M Marching Euphonium for sale (via eBay). I bought this horn in 2009 from the Madison Scouts, who used it from 2005 to 2007. It has only seen light use in the last few years, as I used it to practice between drum corps camps myself. All slides and valves are fully functional and very fast. Compression is excellent. This horn is a great example of why Yamaha sets the standard in marching brass instruments. As you can see in the pictures (please view the eBay listing), there is some plating wear around the valve cluster, one minor ping on the leadpipe and one ping at the very beginning of the bell tail, which were all from before I received the instrument. None of these issues affects the playability of the instrument. This instrument is being sold as-is with no returns accepted. Buyer pays flat shipping rate of $50.00, which will include insurance for the cost of the instrument. Please contact me at patrick.gauding AT gmail DOT com with any questions.

2013 DCI Garage Sale
hornandsoccer replied to Northern Thunder's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Slightly used. More than slightly French. Call now and we'll include this bonus baguette and beret set for no extra charge! -
SCV DID have an all-male hornline until sometime in the early 80s. It's still a sore point in Vanguard history for a lot of people. It is what it is. It's a performance activity, and the groups can choose whatever criteria they like. Just because you're some super-vet doesn't mean your position will exist next year (see also: Madison cymbal line circa 2010.) Nothing's guaranteed.
