The only thing that i would be happier with is if they would fix the sound levels on the live feed. it is horrible at times!!!

Thanks @hillmichaelr

Ok Since I have a good read on alot of the shows, and since the season starts tomorrow, I'll go ahead and make my last prediction for the off season!! 1. Carolina Crown - AMAZING Concept and, when August gets here It'll be well worth it!!! 2. Bluecoats - Even though I personally haven't heard ANYTHING from them - The Source music lends it to be a rocking show!!! Think they could contend with Crown for the title!! 3. The Cadets - Very interesting - not the typical Cadets show... 4. Blue Devils - Not a fan of it honestly.... but you cant put them out of the top 4. 5. Blue Knights - Let's see if they can crack the top 5 this year!!! 6. Santa Clara Vanguard - Very Interesting also... 7. Madison Scouts - HECK YES!! JCSS + GAGA!!! 8. The Cavaliers - WOW... Want to put them higher but it is going to be a blood bath 9. Boston Crusaders - Love the music!!! 10. Phantom Regiment - I dont think this will be a great vehicle for them 11. Blue Stars - Interesting choice of music.. Crossmen could be here also.. 12. Troopers

The Title of Spirit of Atlanta's 2016 Production is "Georgia" Heard The 1st Movement and the 3rd Movement on their periscope broadcast. Hopefully this will be a great program. They will officially announce the full production this week!!

Spirit of Atlanta announced the title of their production on their Periscope broadcast today. They will announce the full production this week. The title is " Georgia"

Turning by John Mackey is in for The Cadets. on the video after the announcement of the title change

Spirits 2016 Tour Schedule is very much abbreviated from previous years. Not starting the tour until July 8. only 20 Events?

I'm staying at the Holiday Inn Express that is like 2 blocks from LOS. Really looking forward to it!! Heading up from Birmingham, AL on 8/10 and leaving Indianapolis on 8/14. Hopefully will be able to meet some awesome people!! Looking forward to seeing All of the Corps!! Message me if you're interested in Meeting up or hanging out!

Hey Y'all!! I bought a Super 3 Ticket Package for 2016 World Championships!! Is there a recommended place to stay? Looking forward to enjoying Finals Week!!

This show is going to be amazing!! Every Corps this year has completely hit the head on the nail with entertainment value!! I don't think there will be a show I won't like

would kill to see the preview video if someone could FB me

Spirit is going to be the dark horse to challenge for finals this year. I understand BAC has their 75th this year. but I havent heard anything out of BAC. Spirit is sounding AMAZING on the new Kanstul horns. I'll amend my prediction to include BAC - but i seriously think there will be a tie and there will be 13 Performance spots for Finals on Saturday

I am just really unsure about SCV this year... yeah they have been amazing the last 4 years. but there is just alot of really good corps that have released things. this could easily make this year one of the best in DCI's history

ok. So to get back on the predictions discussion.... Now having heard The Cadets, The Cavaliers, The Blue Devils, Bluecoats, Carolina Crown, Phantom Regiment, Crossmen, Spirit of Atlanta.... This year i am seriously thinking there will be a tie in the top 12.. There are just too many too good.... Top 6 - Bluecoats, Carolina Crown, The Cadets, Blue Devils, Phantom Regiment, The Cavaliers.. Next 6 - Crossmen, Spirit of Atlanta, Madison Scouts, Blue Knights, Blue Stars, Santa Clara Vanguard

So .... after watching both Concert in the Park Videos.... Phantom is gonna be a Dark Horse this year... Carolina Crown, Blue Devils, The Cadets, Bluecoats, Phantom Regiment, The Cavaliers - That's your top 6 - no particular order... ijs

Madison Scouts Repertoire 78th & Madison NYC from Annie by Strouse, Charles Gotta Dance from Singin' in the Rain by Brown, Nacio Herb Good Morning from Singin' in the Rain by Brown, Nacio Herb I Got Rhythm from An American in Paris by Gershwin, George Moses Supposes from Singin' in the Rain by Eden, Roger The Boy Next Door from Meet Me in St Louis by Martin, Hugh; Blaine, Ralph Traffic Jammin' from New York Cityscape for Wind Ensemble by Tyzik, Jeff Get Happy from Summer Stock by Arlen, Harold; Koehler, Ted Happy Days are Here Again by Ager, Milton; Yellen, Jack

Most Directors have a preference of which Horns the Corps use. If the Yamaha contract was up then they had the option to choose which ever horns they wanted. If the brass staff preferred Kanstul to Yamaha, The prolly switched for that reason. Spirit has used Kanstul Brass before and they sounded amazing on them!!

that hornline though..... WOW

I think it'll be a "killer" show!! cant wait to see it live!!!

I wonder what type of Drill they will use for this show. Circles and Sharp angles? Jagged edges? and hopefully it'll be dark and dissonant and resolve beautifully in Ode to Joy

according to the description of the show I think Gates of Hell will open the show. Symphony No. 9 will be the closer cause it Fits the ending of it better
