  1. if it was major league the kids should be getting payed and have multi year contracts, for millions...wait no Billions!
  2. I Played high school football from my freshmen-jr year, but I was also in marching band. In high school this was basically "social suicide" I would get flack from every angle. The marching band hated the football team, and the football team hated the marching band. I would go from having football practice from 4pm-7pm then leave practice early to get changed for marching rehearsal that would start at 7pm and go till 9pm and after that I would have to do my home work! Once my Jr came I was on varsity I was still in marching band and still went to all the rehearsals, but I couldn't perform with the band until Band-O-rama. that spring of my jr year I discovered that there was a group called Lakeshoremen and went to a rehearsal and had a blast! By the time my senior year came along I came to my senses and decided I enjoyed performing, and music more and fell in love with drum corps. After my sr. year I tried out for Troopers and toured with them, as an alternate. I wouldn't have trade that experience for anything, and dont regret take drum corps over football!
  3. G7 is only a way to get rid of open class in DCI and lower end of top 12 and to bottom. Less Funding from DCI means more smaller corps folding, and they can jack the price of the tickets up because they think "they are the best in the world". Its all marketing, and greed driven, and will cause the collapse of DCI or a company with buy out DCI to save it perhaps Star of Indiana organization.... .....Plenty of money is made from BLAST! just saying.... .They dont think the kids that dont have experience to march top 7 shouldn't be in DCI. How do they expect kids to get experience without the lower tear corps? Marching band and drum corps is nothing like one another, in level of expectations. As for scoring it is very subjective. It reminds me of MSBOA in Michigan at band festival. once you get to a point all the top schools are getting 1's at district and state festival, and basically is saying you school has nothing to work on, then programs self destruct. Scoring needs to be tougher in DCI. If this is "Marching Music's major leagues". The 3 point line is farther away in the NBA than college and high school.....just as an example if you think of it as a sport.
  4. the real question is, who is blending and matching tone quality? and who is in tune?
  5. I was wondering, if you anyone knows where the housing sites are for DCI Kalamazoo.
  6. push-ups and running laps! =) With an Air Max breathing tube.....oh wait thats just cruel :P You might get fired for that.....
  7. Troopers making it into the top 6!! Placment for 2013 or 2014 placement: 1. Crown 2. Blue stars 3. Troopers 4. SCV 5. Boston 6. Bluecoats 7. Blue Devils 8. Phantom 9. Colts 10. Scouts 11. Cadets 12. cavies ------------------------------------ 13. Glassmen 14. Blue Knights 15. Surf 16. Pioneer 17. Spirit 18. Pacific Crest 19. Mandarins 20. Crossmen 21. Academy 22. Cascades
  8. Im saying, Would you prefer an canned arrangment being played poorly? Or a custom fun, entertaing, in tune arrangment?
  9. So they are they saying this is for marching bands only? Have high school and college bands hack it to bitts?? makes no sense.... having 38 trumpets(if not more) playing like crap and not playing in tune just sayin.... some spirit of the music
  10. Bloomington, Indiana. I loved that stadium stands are close to the field and nice field
  11. where are you getting scores? DCI's site is updated completely Im on the edge of my seat! I wanna be there so bad!
  12. at troop a judge told our caption head at the Atlanta show we have to get box 4 to receive box 3 in brass the judge said "Brass just isnt your thing". But really? if Jim Jones heard this he would be spinning in his grave! thats not what Jim jones wanted when coming up with the idea for dci! Judges have the idea certain corps should be scoring low because they did in the past and are afraid to shake things up. Thank goodness troop is actually getting what they deserve possibly a spot in finals! :doh:
  13. I cant wait to see them make finals and beat glassmen!
