GREENBLUE

Quick question. Was checking out the Madison site and noticed the 2020 audition locations only being Indianapolis and Dallas (and video) Seems quite limited. I’m going to compare to the Cavaliers only because it’s whom I’m most familiar, but the Cavaliers have auditions in Illinois/Texas/Japan/Florida/California/Indiana/Georgia (and video). For a corps that is in transition and needs as many auditionees as possible, wouldn’t they want to hit more regions of the states? Anyone familiar with the reasoning?

Don’t forget electronics and props

As much as I hate to say it.....I agree lol. Reading the DCP Facebook comments and other social media’s makes me want to poke my eyes out. I’m dumbfounded by the lack of knowledge of some of the posters who think they know drum corps. It’s great for the new fans who honestly are just finding out about the activity, but the know-it-all’s kill me. The other thing that drives me crazy are the posters who say they haven’t been to a live show in 20 years but are continually armchair quarterbacking the activity. NEWS FLASH: Drum Corps is better live!!!!

I’m almost 50 and thought this was the best year from top bottom we’ve had in a very long time. Don’t think it’s age more so personal preferences.

Cavaliers have auditions posted on Facebook as well as the audition section of their website. Besides their normal auditions in Illinois/Texas/Georgia (also Brass auditions in Japan assuming this is a Kevin thing since he does brass for Aimachi). Theyve also added auditions this year for Guard in Florida and brass and percussion in Indiana also California. Of course video auditions as well.

I believe 2016. It was the first time they introduced the current drum major uniform (which was used as the base for 16/17 field corps uniforms)

Enough with this crap already. You keep posting cryptic messages all over DCP since Saturday. I know who you keep insinuating. You might want to let them know they’re folding because they’ve already announced audition information/staff references and have been recruiting people to audition for 2020 this past weekend. They’ve also extended auditions to even more locations this upcoming year to places they’ve never been. On my plane ride back to the west coast two kids from another corps were talking to me about about auditioning for them instead of their current corps. For someone that was watching Saturday night at home in Canada (I can read your profile) on Flo and doesn’t know when staffing changes can be formally announced you sure know more then the current administration, staff and members about the future of their own corps.

So weird seeing Cavies up there in brass.Finally! They need to do whatever it takes to keep Kevin. Missing pieces in the visual end. And maybe an addition or subtraction to the design team and I think a medal is possible.

For those wondering....Cavaliers are in their uniforms (not costumes) lol

Feel like parts are pulling. Could be my seats though

And I think it’s the best Top 12 shows top to bottom we’ve had in years. To each their own.

Foot over the yellow line. I’m counting tonight

Don’t think that’s correct. One of the Cavies marimba players commented on Social media that they just need to push the marimbas closer to the sideline tomorrow night. people were asking why in the comments. I guess of a few of the FE crossed over the 15 foot line while running between.

He’s chief judge all three nights so they better get it fixed

Easier fix if it’s a member and not the whole section.

As a staff they should question whoever made the call. Can you appeal a penalty?

Wonder who made the call?

Wonder by how much? Hopefully an easy fix by pushing closer to sideline. It’s cool but it’s not finishing in sixth by .3 cool.

Agreed. Thought musically some parts were off throughout. Was thinking it was where I am seating. guess not.

There all three nights. Think I’m in the 200’s thurs/400’s Friday and the blast zone Saturday.

Lots and lots of “moments” over the years. Have to think about it. Some are out of simple amazements others are pure emotion some are actually because of the crowd reaction.I’ll have to get back. I’ll keep editing as I remember.
