Are you talking 2023? They weren't that much better this year either.

Generally speaking, it is the wins later in the season that count / matter the most and should carry the most weight. Assuming corps in the day were equally adept at cleaning their shows, I think it is a legitimate to ask how, all of the sudden, Regiment is four points behind? And yes, not going on in the top tier block may have had something to do with it.

Participating in the 2026 Regiment Alumni Corps and can't use my G mellophone! Thanks!

Not so sure. Beginning 8/1, Vanguard, Regiment, & Cadets bested Madison at every head-to-head contest, until DCI that is! So, you never know!

I didn't know this. So, how often to you think they go in and lower someone's score?

The Phantom Regiment is planning to field an alumni corps at the DCI Championships in 2026 to celebrate their 70th anniversary. There aren't a lot of details yet however, I will post what I can when information becomes available. In the meantime -

To be honest, the REAL low bass sound (not enhanced) has been missing ever since the move to Bb. I don't know if it's a byproduct of the move or arrangers simply don't arrange in a way that produces the low bass sound.

How could you not include the ever so successful merger of the Sharpsburg Cadets and the Sharpsville Blue Sabers in 1975? 😁

Well, when 90 to 95% of your corps has to fly in for camp, that's probably a good idea. I got stuck in a snowbank on the way back from camp in 78. But, the camp went on!

So profound!

So, to all the corps that have gone Bluecoats (not announcing until the season starts). Do you really think this silly game has any impact on your show? It doesn't, in fact, the majority of the time these announcements only serve to have people go, 'wha'? THAT'S IT! That's why you don't do it because you know how people are likely to react, and it generally isn't favorable!

You're welcome!

I actually have a recording of BOTH performance. The gun went off towards the end of Journey to the Center of the Earth.

Watched some of Unholy. Do not be surprised if the Madison production is a fairly close rip-off of the video, including singing and hoochiness.

I was hoping to actually see more DCI / DCA corps together. Only the Reading show seems to have that option.
