  1. PLEASE, give me a play by play. I'm in Leipzig, Germany, my sister is performing for her first time as a Bluecoats tonight, and I can't watch the show! Lets go BLOO!
  2. I can't wait to hear them. They will without a doubt be a musical powerhouse.
  3. I'm just having a good ol' time at spring training watching a very talented corps every day.
  4. They were my favorite performance to witness all of finals week. (Also the only performance I saw from the front that week). Loved every second of it. Especially embarrassing my little sister because I was on my feet the whole time screaming my lungs out. DRUM CORPS!
  5. And I would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for you! Seriously though, I love my university and my drum corps. I'm going to root for them.
  6. Saw this article from a link on facebook, and I agree with the Number 1! The Best #### Bands in the Land
  7. There always seem to be openings this late due to people getting cold feet. Also there are those who have legitimate reasons that have to do with family, school or job/internship opportunities. It's different with every scenario, but it's not impossible to fill their spots. I never get too worried about it. A little side note, Phantom had huge issues keeping tuba players throughout move-ins and still ended up having a great season with a fairly decent section. No small feat!
  8. I guess I'll reply to the actual topic. I marched contra, but I would have loved to march cymbals. ...though there is still WGI...
  9. Bloo 2008 and 2009 are pretty stellar. Cavaliers 2008 was awesome. Can't go wrong with Vanguard 2004 and Cadets 2000. Phantom 2007 as well.
  10. CONSISTENCY IS KEY! My prediction: Four "blue" corps in the top 9. Three "blue" corps in the top 7. Two "blue" corps in the top 3. One "blue" corps in the top spot.
  11. Listen more to the other two movements. They're better (in my opinion).
  12. From my understanding, the only thing that ties the novel and the show together is the title.
  13. I wish I recognized this rep, but if yall are excited I'll look forward to it.
  14. All I have to say is that I like that they're opening up the opportunity to kids who don't have the time or money to put into a DCI tour. And YEA stands for Youth Education in the Arts. So of course they're going to keep the DCI age parameters.
  15. That would be SO much closer to home. And kind of weird because my high school marching seasons ended with the BOA super regional in the Alamodome.
  16. I'm glad that you care so much to ask these questions. Yes, the corps participating in the Tournament of Champions can change from year to year, based on the previous year's Finals placements. And to be quite honest, yes the Blue Devils have an incredible track record. But they are NOT the only corps that has done incredible things. And the top 8 from last year are certainly NOT the only corps to do great things either! This ToC is just a way to try something new, and these corps are only the corps who placed 1-8 on one day at the end of one season. If there are other corps deserving the spot, they can earn it for next season by showing up and performing the hell out of their show on Saturday August 13th, 2011. And the only reason the ToC are using the previous year's top 8 and not the current top 8 is because the corps need to have plans set for touring the country months in advance, and it simply would not be practical to have to guess where their next show would be. This has been discussed, go read up on this at DCI.org or any of the [numerous] threads on the subject here on DCP.
