The only way someone gets penalized for something like that, is if someone from another corps says something. I mean if they are at the stadium using the showers, why would you send them over to the park to warm up. Sounds like some petty B.S. to me.

Not sure where you got this info.....Seems like the Tomsas are embedded in the colts. I would be more worried about Sully talking to Hop again and jumping ship.

But are they actually selling them? Or is it the company that gives/borrows/loans them to the corps?

First of all....Do any of you guys know how many corps actually sell instruments after the season? Crown has their Crown Store....which basically is a Yamaha Dealer. Colts sell Yamaha horns from the Cadet corps and the A corps. Bluecoats just started selling their horns this past year....maybe. Cadets I think sell their horns. Other than those select groups, I don't see a whole lot of corps selling their horns anymore. They either have loaner or rental horns from their sponsors. So to say this is a great point of revenue is a false statement. Those days are gone as well.

What I don't get is why their beautiful horn line doesn't turn the volume switch to 11 once in awhile. Its not exciting at all. After seeing them in Minneapolis, I just sat there dumbfounded wondering if there was a whole horn line on the field. Now, before all you SCV people get all worked up.....I love SCV, especially their horn line, but the contrast in the show is just not there.....there isn't enough Devil in their staircase. Please SCV if you are listening.....Turn up the volume!

From what I hear in the rumor mill.....tenor drums are the least of their concerns.....what about the hornline?

Bump for the RED TEAM!

False....Kanstul is not the only manufacturer making G-Bugles.....DEG/Dynasty still has a full line of G-Bugles, and they even have selected parts still available for the old 2 valve bugles.

This sounds like the real deal.....Not gonna lie.....pretty pumped to see this.

if you look at both sheets.....they are exactly the same. The only thing that is different is the heading. Its all about how the judges judge. They may reward things different, but all the words and scores on the back and front are the same.

I do believe the top 21 corps have a vote in World Class. Open class directors have no votes. I forget and if someone could help me that knows....but Im pretty sure the board approves and motion and then the whole collective then votes on it.

Now who is being a ####???? I think you need to engage your brain before engaging your mouth....or in this instance your fingers.

Kind of hard to ensure the activity continues to exist when you are elevating 7 corps by taking more money and having more votes on your own board of directors. Kinda leaves out 40+ corps across both world and open class. I do not believe for one second that they are looking out for DCI or for Drum Corps as an activity. They are looking out for number one....or Numbers 1-7.

But they did vote to keep it on the table and keep exploring it. Thus Bob is correct....and yes 4 of 9 is a minority, but don't you think that someone might have talked to someone and they might have received a few votes just because they asked them nicely to vote on it.
