Respect to The Cadets. #christmasshow lyfofawh

Wasn't sure how I would feel about a Christmas show but WOW! If anyone could pull it off, it could only be The Cadets. #stillmyfavorite #DCI bananam

@DCI_Tour The Cadets just rocked an awesome Christmas show! Yes I said Christmas!!! longsl

Music City was fabulous. Great show. MCDC rules! rosaleeh

Nice run by Music City Drum Corps. Cadets up next. barker

Music City started the night off really well. Big S/O to my girl @Moriahyarnall even though she's not marching this year!! mggrub

RT @mbaucum75: Music City keeping it old school with Phantom. Loved the drum line! #dci #drumcorps #murfreesboro CorpsSh

Um Music City, I don't how I feel about your show. morganc

A nice article was in in this July's DCW.

I disagree. You can do MORE HARM moving an injured person than treating them initially where the injury takes place.

I respectfully disagree. Pete Emmon's 1980 SCV drill was indeed the first asymmetrical. Pete was the first one in the water willing to take a huge risk and begin the long task of figuring out the logistical problems such as music balance and staging IMO. This was indeed a game changer.

My 3 wishes: SCV 1989 finals BAC 1990 prelims PR 1996 finals

Getting my post in before mods move to open-class forum

My favorite Crossmen show of all time...I saw you guys live at Allentown that year...It was EPIC....a definite BRASSGASM!

EPIC!

I'm surprised BK didn't decide to pull out a AWESOME Denver performance in the rain again....only this time in Little Rock!

I gave you +1

The feed is cutting in and out!!!!!!!

This is just a small compilation of twitter/DCP posts from various show threads 7/16 - 7/23... http://www.drumcorpsplanet.com/forums/index.php/topic/152449-boston-crusaders-pass-milestone/ Olathe Show: ‏@amandagoodwin11If it has any affiliation with Boston, Massachusettes.... I'm in love.#BostonCrusaders #DCI @buttongod_ksBAC starts out with a nice use of backfield horns. TONS of rifles in the air at the end of their show. #Dci @BenNebMalounANOTHER GREAT SHOW TONIGHT BY THE @bostoncrusaders ! Up next, @TheBlueDevils Round Rock Show: fsujuan93 Dang Boston, I really like you guys! Guard unis sell the show well. Classic dci show here folks (TxBigfoot) Madison was great but Boston should squeak past by .75 points. Hornline was powerful yet full and rich. Liked the show. I am a brass guy so I tend to focus on brass and comment on other things that stick out benjaminzein Boston was so good!!!!!!! #dciaustin Houston show Review (jwillis35); Boston Crusaders - Love the pre-show, love the opening impact, and I love the music throughout the show. The drill is excellent and makes logical sense. In so many ways this is a very-well designed show. If they want to repeat in top 8 (and I think they can), they will need to clean clean clean. Brass needs some musical shaping, and some balance issues are starting to show. The percussion needs to drive tempo better and must also know where to back off and allow for more pit or brass contributions. Their total music ensemble just needs more fluctuation of the balances between the section in order to create better color, better musical flow, better overall artistry. The music book is tough. Pines of Rome is no joke for any corps. I love the arrangements too. Unique enough to not be compared to Star of Indiana 1991, yet still demanding enough to be a lot like the original orchestral work. This is definitely one of my favorite shows this year, but they really do need to clean. One thing I will mention is during one of the longer percussion features they get into 2 long vertical lines and then push them towards each other at center field. At the end of that it seems like they chicken-out by not holding the form when they stop the two lines (face to face). Now they do a pose. Please don't do that. The pose does nothing. Be a MAN and hold that form! The pose is a copout and does nothing for the audience. Still, many BRAVOS to Boston on another excellent show!!! San Antonio show: (kevingamin) You have to work to mess up Resphigi on the drum corps field. Fortunately, Boston works to make it sound great. (kevingamin) Nice on the Roman Festivals stabs! (kevingamin) I like how this is building up intensity as the corps slow comes forward. (jasgre2000) This might be my favorite show this year, from a musical standpoint. BAC always selects awesome music. (kevingamin) Oh, that was killer from the upper and middle brass! Excellent crescendo to the release and the cutoff was razor sharp. (kevingamin) I really need to get a recording of Belkis. I loved when Cavies played this in '94, too. (kevingamin) This is a much better performance than last night. A lot more energy from BAC. Let's see if they can close out strong. (ohwiseone) Boston- any corps that plays pines is an ultimate favorite. Boston there is a reason why you have become one of my favorite groups over the past few years. This show is why, oh and playing Mahler also a plus Also help that when doing your a show that is Rome-like in nature, having the females in your guard be as pretty as they are (Cardman) I really like Boston's show this year. That looked like a new ending (didn't watch them last night.) I wish the camera were just a little higher and panned out just a little more. Being this close makes it a little tough to read some of the forms. Good job, Boston! (MrBud) BOSTON CRUSADERS were MUCH BETTER TONIGHT than last night...Cavies are going to have a tough time beating that... GOOD JOB CRUSADERS! (Wonder123) Well done! Crusader's performances (drill and music) is maturing greatly and is good to see. Ending was stunning - guard handles their piece well. Great show to watch and enjoy! (flammaster) They have really stepped up their game tonight! They were good last night too but this show was so good visually! Their music has always been good. So much to see in this show. I really loved the red silk tarp thing slowly being pulled in. can't remember seeing that in their show before. (BRASSO) Boston... thank you for marching onto the field playing yourself on in the pre show. I really like this show. Visually there are some great moments throughout. Terrific performance tonite, I thought. Who knows what the judges will think on it, but this was a very entertaining and sophisticated production all around. Odessa show: Yea great Job Crusaders! Crusaders were the shXX. And plus they’re from Boston. Bonus point. #thunderinthede The Boston Crusaders made me tear up with that horn ballad.. Wow... Jon_Ortiz_ 2

Although I think this would be a nice gesture...I also think this would set a bad precedent... That said...I third the motion!

This is just another glaring example of the current DCI touring model as we know it...EPIC FAIL!

Their Achilles heel seems to be their guard this year though...Just sayin'

Boston is right on Madison's heels!

a lot of negative tweeters tonight... As much as I love the Cadets, their show this year is stupid! #marchingbandproblems #DCI broadway600
