HardCorp

No inside knowledge - just know that Div 3 corps can fluctuate from year to year. I always thought the Raiders were a cute corps that worked hard. Here is hoping they continue to field a corps every year!

1. Hurricanes - umm Michael Klesch? Huge addition to best visual and improving perc 2. Minn Brass - class of the Midwest, good programming choices 3. Buccaneers - years of substandard guard program will catch up to tem 4. Cabs - is Jeff Nagmian juding championships? 5. Bushwackers - need to be more competitive in JuneJuly and not just fill holes all Summer. Best closers in the game though. 6. Empire - yet another mismash of a show will yield mixed results 7. Corps Vets - on their way up. New horns and good show choice. 8. Brigadiers - staff gets weaker each year. No more Downey, Lee, Glyde no more championships 9. Renegades - the have steadfastly refused to improve their weaknesses. Kudos to them for blind loyalty 10. Alliance - maybe the 3rd best drumline of all (behind Mn & Reading)

Are the Bayonne Raiders going to be there? If they field a corps in 09 I would assume it would be easy for them to attend and bring their fans.

See, now there is some real info. Thanks Ms COndran.

That's really cool. I guess DCI does care!!!!

100 acres????? Wow. Sprit should build a bunch of rehearsa facilities for all the NJ corps to rent from them. Cabs, Bush, Surf, Fusion and Raiders (Are they still fielding a corp?) all could have practice in the same place ! I do think saying there is a "posibilty" of college credits can be misleading and thus a tad irresponsible.

No, I am pretty sure that's not how it works. Once a corps has been added to the schedule DCI puts it on the website. They wouldn't wait for a corps to fill up their free days with trips to the mall n stuff to release the schedule. Did Mempho's management submit their paperwork in time? I know some corps have had to wait to get access because of that or bcause their were being evaluated or re-evaluated by DCIs

Cadets use of battery percussion in the ballad was groundbreaking, making a beautiful moment even more powerful. No disregard to Bluecoats, but they didn't make 1/2 the impact.

1984 Cadets - Maria 1989 Phantom - Largo from New World Symphony. Gorgeous bari solo 2000 Boston - Time to Say Goodbye 1993 Cadets - Hymsong

what happened with the Troopers?

No - it is all about performance level and show design. Pioneer would not have stood up against the top of Div 2/3 the last few years. Don't blame size and stop airing dirty laundry about how this year the staff is communicating and the show is written!
