I've been a fan of SCV since 1973. Thank you SCV for 2018 and through the years. Get some rest and get it again. Hugs.

We traveled to Indy 2010 to satisfy my curiosity. The audience at our seats were wonderful. Quiet during the performances and standing ovation for each corps. I chatted with Mom and son behind me between corps. She gifted him a trip to DCI for his 16th birthday. He said I want to march drum corps and this is the one. He pointed and I knew he knew and smiled. I loved Into The Light and seeing DCI finals in 2010 since 1983. Big gap but glad I did.
We traveled to Indy 2013 and the audience was loud. When we went to the bathroom or concession our seats were taken. We politely showed our tickets twice. I loved e=mc2 and Rite of Spring but can't purchase the DVD. No worries. I remember the experience. My travel companions returned west while I flew to Ontario to visit family. At the Indy airport I met members of Cadets, Crossmen and more on their way back to Texas. I thanked them.

I'm sincerely not meaning any disrespect. Girls in the audience at DCI shows need to understand that their laser screaming shrieks for each and every rifle catch for every guard of every corps for the entire evening are excruciatingly painful to those of us seated in front of them.
You are correct. That would be annoying. I go to local guard shows. We simply applaud, cheer and give a standing ovation at the end of the show if deserved. I've never been to a guard show where the audience screams. Sorry to have confused you.

Um yeah we were at the show.
Thanks.
edit not sure why italics? If I wasn't at the show, I'm assuming I have no opinion on what I've been able to see online for free?

I’m trying to get use to the high pitched whiney screams when someone catches what they throw into the air. Aren’t you suppose to catch it? Yeaaaaaaa he caught it. Okay fine
Before this thread derails...we don't scream at our winter guard shows. We applaud and yell at highlights. If you scream, we all scream for ice cream. St. Louis is an important show for a wonderful guard and marching instructor that was born there who contributes to drum corps and winter guard to this day. It was a good show and I don't have Flo 'cause I'm foreign.
We're talking drum corps on this thread. It's summer. Winter guard is in the winter. Get with the program:)

I don't have Flo. I'll let it go. I happened upon a video of Boston at Orlando. Staging, transitions, dynamics are there. Kudos Kids. Enjoyed the view. Best to you.

I had a few one second arrow spins but nothing bad. I have to say that Flo has always had really good sound and that is important to me. I want them to succeed. I told them that drum corps is a tough crowd as to the nature of the activity. it's all about perfection.
I can't subscribe to Flo because I live in another country and miss watching live feed; like the activity but feel left out. DCP reviews and colour commentary are appreciated. Thanks.

I'm excited for you.

Only for the fans, not the judges. The past ten years (2008-2017), on Finals night...
- The DCI Champion has finished 1st in Brass 3 times (30%)
- The DCI Champion has finished 1st in Musical Ensemble/Analysis 5 times (50%)
- The DCI Champion has finished 1st in Percussion 4 times (40%)
The past ten years (2008-2017), on Finals night...
- The DCI Champion has finished 1st in Visual Performance 7 times (70%)
- The DCI Champion has finished 1st in Visual Ensemble/Analysis 7 times (70%)
- The DCI Champion has finished 1st in Color Guard 6 times (60%)
The Blue Devils are 0.4 points away from having won three championships in a row, and they've won exactly 1 musical sub-caption at Finals in the past three seasons (they've taken 8 of 9 visual sub-captions). At this point in DCI's evolution, uniform design matters more than ever.
Interesting analysis. It took a long time to introduce the concepts of shared musicality, staging, dynamics among the 3 distinctions of horns, drums, guard. I'm pleased. Thank you.

...because great horn/percussion/marching bo longer win championships.
No worries. Drum corps is always about the music. Close your eyes and listen or open your eyes, listen and watch people perform to the music with added delights. Both are good.

Well BK never has shied away from color as of late. If someone was going to field purple zebras it would be them.
I think it just might work from the stands though.
I just saw a short video of BK playing Can't Take My Eyes Off You. Your 3rd sentence might be right.

I actually have the record albums (plus 1980 State of the Art) from a few years in the closet. No turntable to play them on however...
I bought a turntable a few years ago that copies record albums and cassette tapes to CD. I found a local vendor that does the same plus copies VHS to DVD. I snail mailed copies to various people across North America with the provision that this is a gift for their personal enjoyment. 1980 State of the Art and SCV's Through the Years are 2 of my favourite CD's. Cool you too.

I've read DCP posts, laughed, cried, bewildered, amused, confused. Suggested solutions is a good idea for an activity meant for good people and to have wonderful memories.

It was 1975. Our corps took a trip to watch DCI finals in Philadelphia. Our director made it happen. Many thanks to him. When traveling we always took the Niagara route around Lake Ontario except in 1975 we took the Philadelphia to Kingston route. I had hugging Madison Scouts members on my mind when border patrol decided to inspect our buses in the early morning. Every horn case, drum case and luggage had to be removed and repacked at the border. The Great Lakes are big and wide. Always take the same border crossing so patrol know who you are. We figured Kingston crossing had a daily inspection quota and they met their daily quota by 7:00 am. with 2 buses full of sleeping kids. lol good times

snip to where I have some information
Interestingly enough, Ontario and Quebec still seem to have solid Indoor guard circuits and teams.
Alberta and British Columbia have guard teams and many provinces have drum lines.

Likewise. We continue to patronize and enjoy the pageantry/performance arts but we do miss being able to subscribe to your live feeds ;)

Thank you for this. I can't sign up for Flo. This is the next best thing. Winter guard is always my happy place. Thanks KVG_DC. Drummers rock;)

In 1970 I marched with one of the corps listed. Thanks Keith.

You should be justifiably proud too as I never knew these two were us once. I've listened to Chick for years and will listen to Diane now. Thank you.

I've always had a fondness for the songs of the Classic IV. "Traces of Love" is my favorite, but I think something could be done with some others, too, like this one:
Though I can't recall: was David Dennison the keyboardist or the second guitarist?
I like. Thank you. Had tough days at the office for weeks. This made my day. I realize this piece may have been cited here before but Henry V helped me finish that document. Stormy rock group was the icing on the cake of an otherwise trying day. Hugs N.E.

Will FloMarching allow non US to register in 2018? I miss watching winter guard and drum corps live stream. Hugs.
edit: I contacted and received a response '...but the countries events are available in varies event to event. each event will have that specific information available on its event pages...'. It is what it is.

I marched in 2010, watching shows develop throughout the summer was great. Some amazing productions that year:
Bluecoats with Metropolis was probably my favorite to catch throughout the summer, such an awesome show, so different than most things on the field around that time. Really pushed Coats into that upper echelon.
Phantom had my second favorite that summer with Into the Light, such emotion and power from that music book. Wish phantom's programming could revisit this style.
Not always a fan of BD, but this show was one that really got to me. They deserved the Gold.
Crown with A Se2ond Chance had spectacular music and I really enjoyed the program, despite it being a Part II show.
Cavie's Mad World was the last program from the green machine that I really loved.
Crusader's Thy Kingdom Come was some great program design. Loved the source music of Glassmen that year too, The Prayer Cycle.
Others that were enjoyable to catch throughout the summer: SCV, SOA, and Teal Sound
The last time I saw DCI finals in another century was 1983 Miami Florida. In 2010 (this century) we went to finals. Thank you so much for helping me relive this wonderful experience.
As an MM, I have 2 favourite years; 1970 and 1976. In 1970 we won in our class and in 1976 we saw BD and PR often on tour and we performed in DCI finals too. Drum Corps is cool.

This thread is why I was on DCP.
A picture is worth a thousand words as can see.
Drum corps history and research thereof has made me free. Hugs and thank you.
