Having been eligible to march from 2004-2013, and having marched 2009-2011(-ish), I definitely do not think the golden years were when I marched. Personally I think the late 80s-2004 were Drum Corps "golden age" as far as matching drill to music. Then again, I've always been a sentimental fellow. As a new-timer, I still cringe a bit when I hear thunderous goo and mic'd solos, though having withdrawn from the activity this year, I found them quite tolerable and sometimes even enjoyable.

Anyone know what time semis starts tomorrow? DCI.org mobile doesn't say. -

Can't believe my prime seat in the 400s hasn't been taken yet. -

Cascade's circles made me immediately think of/want Funyuns. -

Because the level of performance is different from corps to corps. The point is to put open and world class head to head on a level playing-field, regardless of that individual corps' ability to capitalize on and, say, make finals. It's happened before with Magic of Orlando being the last one to do it in 200(?). -

Two words about SCVC's show: CLASSIC Vanguard. (Except without the dissonance) -

LOVE legends' bassline. Does anyone know who did phantom's drill in 2010 and Blue Stars in 2012? Legends' opener drill reminds me of that. Is it the same person? -

Brutal show with some brutal drill to go along with it. VERY demanding and well-designed. Still has a lot of fuzz but if they retain vets and continue with this level of demand, I could see them drastically rising in the semifinals ranks. -

I predict a low ensemble vis. Score for Genesis simply because of the ambitious and exposed nature of their drill. It's a challenge, but not unentertaining. -

Agh Genesis. Love the new uniforms. Looking sharp! I know they ditched Academy's old Star Trek units awhile ago but I wonder where they went. -

Some exposed curvilinear a leading into the drum solo with arm movements that didn't quite translate. -

Some very um... suggestive sounds coming from those speakers right before the trombone solo. -

Only 5 contras but they seem to be pulling their weight against the 10 mellos, 20 trumpets and 12 baritones.
