In 2004 when i first heard about Teal, i doubt you could have talked about world class. They have made leaps and bounds over the last 10 years. I think they are ready for world class competition if not next year then 2010. No one is agruing their competitiveness, the financial side might be the only question. I wouldn't doubt hearing about Teal becoming a member before the end of the year. I hope to see them in Warrenton VA, and I asked the corps director, but if anyone in the corps is reading this now...message me about your housing site for july 31, warrenton virginia. It is not on the website.

Teal Sound members in 05 got the treat of being in DCM championships. That was probably the best retreat "'block" i've ever participated in. Block is used very lightly. I remember us and Blue Stars were representing div 2.

The group formerly known as Turquoise Noise Actually in Teals early days they did a Meteallica show. A prince show would interesting, and fit in with there early identity. But this Rajaton is cool. Next year completes that trilogy. I thank Teal for just introducing me to rajaton. I would have never heard of them until i visited a camp last year. Awesome

Hey matt. So if there is 140 horns, 135 of those must be euphoniums. How do you like those new horns i hear you guys have? Anyway, i'm hoping to see you guys at a rehearsal day on the 6th of july. I just need to know where your staying and if it is near your showsite the following day in chesapeake, va. (Thomas said he would talk to the tour director and get back with me. If you can try and find out give me an pm on here) Unfortunately the navy calls and i won't be able to make the show so i really want to see you guys on your rehearsal day. You guys sound awesome from what i've heard already. Go out out there and show the drum corps world what teal is all about. DON'T PLAY WITH MY EMOTIONS TEAL SOUND!

It seems not even long enough to get them by illegal means. I'm going to make sure that any i wish to buy this season to get during the seasons because if it isn't a world class championship corps it doesn't look like dci intends on keeping it for sale.

After marching 2 years i joined the navy, but unfortunately i can't take advantage of this rule change beacause my first season i could march is 2011 and i would turn 23 on or around finals day. i would love to march 1 more time, and "age out" i didn't know you could attend the age out ceremony at any age or i would have my second year.i did leave one ove my gloves on the retreat field to close my dci tour.

Wow good response. I would've never known about the crossmen being the result of a merger. I think what we are seeing here is that for the most part a merger does not necessarily solve the problems a corps might be facing. Although a few have worked out, it should be considered a last solution. After that, decisions need to be made to keep the organization afloat. Thanks for everyone who answered this question. in the next couple of weeks we get to begin hearing of the first camp hype of how every corps is going to be amazing this year. on of my favorite perennial reading on dcp. Next of course being deciding on the results of finals before the first show, ahh predictions.

Mr Butler is Teal Sound. I personally thank him still for what he did for me and what his corps continues to do for young people. My Drum Corps Hero. Mr blackburn for taking the reigns of Teal and giving this generation the ride of a lifetime i give you props as well.

I might make a trip down there to check out teal's happenings. I'm sure i'll be able to lend a hand somewhere too. Even though i can't audition, the season is still exciting. Love you guys, good luck all around. Thanks mr blackburn for all you do. Thanks also go to mr butler for all he has done for teal. You are my hero. What you guys are doing for young people in the southeast is amazing. TEAL SOUND go do your thing. NOTHING ELSE MATTERS

I was thinking back to 2006 when there was a short period of time where teal and kiwanis briefly discussed merging. The benefit was obvious, teal had members and kiwanis had money. the negotiations fell through when neither wanted to give up their name, uniform or show. So the two went about their season. Teal is still with us today while kiwanis is on my wish list. I want to hear about corps that did or didn't merge and what happened after that.

Drum Corps needs growth and i'm glad to see another junior corps out of florida. exciting. hopefully teal and gasparilla will be able to form a good base foundation to grow upon. i would hate to see either go the way of magic, or kiwanis (pseudo fl corps). I definately look forward to seeing gasparilla. Now we need a couple more open class corps to pop up in the southeast so we can get some big open class shows. With two florida junior corps and heat wave (anyone know there status) we can have local shows again!

If it isn't right, hype it i guess. HYPE!

Yeah, i saw earlier this year they HAD apds for 2/3 but if you didn't get them then i guess you don't get them at all. or a cd.

Honestly, i don't want every show, as you get out of div 2/3 finals the quality of performance just won't be as good. I usually don't like every show in the top 12. So i'd rather pick and choose. But why can't their be an option. We can't even get open class apds at all can we? Not last time i checked.
