Actually...I heard 2008 was the first year EVER that neither corps made finals... After semis they played the corps songs for each other in the warm up area..

i thought the BD was the funniest.....followed closely by the BK one... hahaha

what about the feedback when they start singing after the brass feature...i was scared my speakers were going to blow from the screwup..

Maybe you couldnt tell by their show or music.....except for pioneer... but if this were to happen, some corps can be put apart from others such as the Cavaliers having their marching style and drill, Cadets have their horn move and more recently talking, PR has that funky bouncy jazz run (or at least they did in 08). SCV I believe is known for horn snaps.... There are also hidden secrets in a corps' identity that only members or staff know.....such as.. Some corps will do whatever it takes to win. Some corps kick the members rears to get them in shape. Some are known for not practicing hard, and just being good. Some are classy. Some are based on being a family and building relationships. Some are all about training individuals into better musicians...........ETC.. Just things like that also establish an identity, not just their show style.

ditto to your whole post. Spirit is our home, and will always feel that way during the summer, no matter what the show is, or how its scoring. I have my doubts about the show, but who am i to declare its failure before the first audition camp, hmm? You're right, it could be a horrible idea and be a "bad" season. and/or it could go great and put Spirit where Spirit deserves to be.

Anyone see a dramatic decrease of attendence happening?? from less than $100 to $120 for the worst seats in the house

Spirit's pants are dark dark navy.

now here is a question...do we include Nashville drum corps in this? lol. 1.Crown 2.Cadets 3.Blue Devils 4Phantom 5Cavaliers 6Bluecoats 7SCV 8Blue Stars 9Glassmen 10Boston 11Blue knights 12Spirit
