Wow, after all the bashing, it seems that people think that The Cadets had a pretty good show after all. I agree; while not a fan of the narration (JUST MY OPINION) I really loved the show otherwise. Actually, I think the introductory narration was really cool . . . a chill goes down my spine every time I hear all the narrators together say "We believe in . . . NOW."

Never mind, didn't realize it was right there on dci.org.

Sorry, bit off-topic, but what's the member cap for Open Class corps?

Ah, I see. Thanks for the explanation.

So you dislike keeping time?

Yeah, but what does that mean?

Jersey Surf: 8:00 Saturday 11/24 - 3:00 Sunday 11/25 Camden County Technical School, Cross Keys Road, Sicklerville, NJ Cost: $75.00

Are you talking about whether or not Surf will make World Class? And what do you mean "more regional?"

I thought the intro narration was awesome, actually. When used as an effect, like it was in the beginning, speech can be pretty cool. I agree though, kick-### music in that show.

I think he means "gospel" as in "something hotly debated" rather than "the irrefutable truth." Which isn't really a legitimate use of the term, unless he's looking to confuse people.

He's referring to the fact that, standing at attention in a block, a drum corps with woodwinds and a marching band would look essentially the same. Once they start moving and playing, of course the drum corps will be superior in pretty much all respects (unless it's a kick ### marching band.)

OK, I said they were valid reasons, not necessarily that those reasons alone were enough to keep woodwinds out of DCI. Sorry if that's what you thought I meant. You haven't provided any specific counters to those reasons at all, leading me to believe that you cannot actually come up with logical refutations, instead refusing to acknowledge those reasons at all. If you do have a rebuttal, please, state it. Geez, I can't believe I'm even posting this, everybody on DCP and their mother knows you're the most stubborn guy on here. I can admire that, in a way.

OK, so his word choice may have been a little harsh. They're still all valid reasons to keep woodwinds out of DCI.

Hey, somebody else from the DC area!

I don't see why any corps would ever wear yellow. It's freaking garish.
