Why don't you want to go to DCI in Indy?
woops, wrong place. d'oh.

News, near as I can decipher: Camp went well, progressed through some more music in preparation for playing with the Toledo Symphony in two weekends. There's another camp that weekend for brass and drums. Usual G-Fam happiness/shenanigans happened, and as always, the food was awesome.
Yes, not really news, but these days, no news = good news on the G front, generally.

In Soviet Union, early June shows are cancelled due to weather.
Snow.
Strangely enough, the corps I marched last year rehearsed in the snow in June.

Exactly - a corps like SCV with such a huge tradition of great musical repertoire should have at least a half dozen classics memorized for encores and standstills.
Usually just the one, but yeah, since Rennick has come on board it's been a priority.

I was having a nice discussion yesterday on what show is better: The champions from 1996 or the 2nd place show from 2006. I'd love to hear the feedback of the DCP community! My vote is for 06 even though they didn't win (should have in my eyes). Better overall sound, better visual package, better percussion, just wrong year to go against "The Machine." Your thoughts?
96. by a lot. 06 couldn't win in a decidedly off year while 96 had to duke it out with a very strong Blue Devil corps.

I would pay Maslanka a million monopoly dollars to let groups arrange his stuff.

Acting on a tip from an informant
I headed over to Vanguard's page and checked out their photo gallery from their recent camp at Independence HS in San Jose.One of the pictures is captioned "George explains Grover's Corner to the audience..."
SCV 1985 - Grover's Corner (From "Our Town") by Aaron Copland
Looks like this piece might be making a return in 2012.
Encore.

For my first two years of marching I had a recurring semi-lucid dream involving dressing an arc. I usually had to inform myself that, no, the arc was not going to be perfect, yes, you are on a bus, and yes, you are losing your mind.

I watch a lot of rehearsal segments on youtube for lots of corps. I think they offer a very unique look into the shows that corps perform. Every time I see a video of the cadet's battery in rehearsal, I see them all wearing those cool two tone shorts. Anybody know where you could get shorts like that?
They're custom-made by an ageout's mother. The only way you're getting those shorts specifically is if you march in the Cadets battery.
As far as similar looking ones, I have no clue.

"A DCI presence was considered but touring costs drew YEA! to request of DCA that Cadets2 be allowed to participate in their arena. And yes, there is the possibility we will loosen the age restrictions to 23 or 24, depending on demand." - from the Cadets^2 website.
At this point, I'm betting they'll take any of you 24 year old baritone players, if there are any of you who would want to do this.

I think Spirit might get a little mad at them, since that was the title of their '06 show?
beat me to it.

Based on the responses, y'all are going to be really surprised, methinks.

I am pretty sure they switched to B flat in 2002. 2001 was the last year on G's I think.
Correct.

how is Gitano competing with ANYTHING from 1997-2001???
I liked 07 but man there were some incredible shows in that late 90's run!
the person has an opinion.
also, GOLD. everything GOLD. Midas touch.
ed: I'm stupid and don't read back my own statements before posting.

Unfortunately correct.
wait, scratch that. just saw a video saying they're going back.
-
SCVC won't be going to finals this summer, correct? Don't they do every other year?
Unfortunately correct.
-
If 2011's Juliet is anything to go by then the story will follow the opera quite closely but the actual music will probably come from more than one source i.e. not just from Turandot.
Just a guess, who knows...???
Depends on the arranging.

... the drill designer did well in '05-'07. I just wish he had more experience writing for one of the top 4 corps. Regiment is the only corp he has designed for that has placed in the 8.
No. He wrote the drill for Glassmen in their heyday, including the masterpiece that is IMAGO (/homer).
