I also want to say thank you to Fusion Corp for all of the comraderie and fun this year. You guys are fantastic. You really brought an incredible presence to DCA, especially for your first year out! Very impressive, and I hope to have several encounters with you again next year!

I agree, Brad. Especially for those of us that were in Cru last year, the fight to finals was so emotionally charged that we worked harder than ever to make it there. Everyone worked hard, the new members included. Whatever the reasoning for saying that the only reason Cru made it to finals is because Carolina folded, it's still a big slap in the face. Saying something like that is like completely voiding all of our hard work. I personally love drum corps because of the family I gain and the adrenaline rush that I get when I walk onto that field. I understand that this thread wouldn't be interesting to read if people didn't have differing opinions, but some comments are just unnecessary. It's one thing to have an opinion, it's another to disregard the achievements of any corp. PS- i big heart you B-rad. :P

Thanks so much for the great review! We worked so hard this season to bring a geat show to the crowd, and I'm so glad that everyone seemed to enjoy it. Just for clarification though, the plain shirts were the guys' adaptation of the guard uniform. They were actually designed to compliment the girls' version of the uniform. :)

That was fantastic. Thank you for saying what I think anyone else who read that was thinking in a substantially more illustrative way than I certainly was able to.

I'll never take anything away from Bucs because they do have a fantastic show, but I sincerely doubt that the judging panels would do such a diservice to the rest of the circuit by giving them feedback that doesn't reflect their honest opinions. It wouldn't make sense to do that in any case because they have to make the scores reflect their honest opinions at some point, and it would be significantly more beneficial to do so now, when there's a chance to fix any issues, than at prelims.
