oh sweet lord. this could go on forever.
my uncle is a big supporter of IU basketball (and was an acquaintance of Bobby Knight during his stint as coach there) while one of my cousins went to Purdue for his engineering degrees. Thanksgivings in Indiana were always a constant argument whenever they started talking about sports.
Imagine every day in my house.
I was a cheerleader at THE Ohio State University (pompous name, I know!)
One kid marching at Purdue.
One kid cheering at IU.
Can you say food fight?

High five- even if our school will go 0 for the Big 10 this football season.
My non drum corp kid is a cheerleader for IU. Imagine the fun in that come football season.

Don't worry. So's your choice of grad school.
<----- IU grad
Ouch. You people (my husband and other son included) are insufferable.

Purdue, eh? Jordan and Patrick, eh? I'm living with them next year
Welcome to the Purdue DCI family. I'm sure we'll run into each other at some point. Boiler up!
Well hi John. This is Jordan's mom. It's a small world afterall...
-
Actually they are on the bus right now (says the boyfriend). I am applying to grad school at Purdue. Jordan and Patrick have been helping me out.
Very cool. And the boyfriend is?

Hey anniem, that made me chuckle also. As you can see,by my banner, I am definately affiliated with a corps. Do you have a pic of your kid...send it my way and I'll see if I can make a banner for ya. In between my sewing of course.
lol. Why I did not notice your affiliation whatsoever.
Actually, I already found the answer. Another poster responded to my cry for help. The kid on the left in all the CC banners is mine. I know I have that banner saved so I'm gonna see if I can add it. Thanks.

no problem...but no one has answered my questions yet. On first glance, did you LIKE the green strings, green tights, green everything? Did it have to be explianed to you.....
"I am asking as a designer a simple question. Did you understand and like the green strings, guard uniforms, etc. at first glance. "
I was attempting to answer the "understand" part of your question. As another CC parent said, I had also seen the show over and over and over and over and..... before I ever saw it with the uniforms so I don't think I can be objective about the "first glance" thing. The rest of you (meaning the audience of non Crown fanatics) saw the show and the uniform together as a package on first glance.
Do I like them? Yes, I love them. I love the wooly little asparagus things. And I am biased.

lol. So how do I add that banner to my status? I want one so I am judged partially on my affiliation with a specific corp too.
lol... seriously... on my couch in brooklyn, physically laughingI hope in a good way. I've already done a poor job of getting myself across to another Cadet. Its the last thing I want to do. I heart Cadets.

Go to My Controls. Then Edit Signature. Then there is an Insert Image button at the top.
Thank you. The kid who usually helps is somewhere on a gym floor outside of Houston.

Maybe the point is to irritate a little. Get under your skin. It may not be comfortable but it is memorable. Lots of talking about it. Granted mostly negative. I don't know, I'm just a parent paying the bills.
Please, don't get your panties in a bunch...I am asking as a designer a simple question. Did you understand and like the green strings, guard uniforms, etc. at first glance. It's not rocket science...just a question. Please don't accuse me attempting to get under your skin.Please reread my answer. You asked a sincere question and I answered with my interpretation of what the designer was possibly attempting with all the green. And when I qualified that with the fact that I am simply a parent, a honk if you will, of the corp I did so to indicate that I am likely biased.
I did not mean to accuse you of attempting to get under my skin. I was speaking in general terms as to what I thought the designer was doing. I should have used the term "audience" instead of "your". Like how some commercials on TV are obnoxious in a Billie Mayes kind of way but they are remembered afterward. They stick with you.
I'm sorry that it is sometimes difficult to convey a message on a forum. Apologies. BTW, I am not the "rocket science" comment person... I did not say that.
(edited the spelling of "science" cause I got rattled that I offended someone.)

LOL sorry I swear I thought I was reading "Johnny Walker"
lol. So how do I add that banner to my status? I want one so I am judged partially on my affiliation with a specific corp too.

I've seen the show. My questions do not pertain to the uniforms in relation to the production, but as design, color, and style with respect to "getting it" instantly. I find it hard to believe that on the first viewing, even the crown parents were in awe of the colors and strings.....but maybe I'm wrong. I am really asking as a designer, albeit an over critical one at that.

Congrats Cadets and Blue Stars fans. The drama continues...

I think thats the point, a loose interpretation. Not following the Oz theme to the letter. A fantasy world in general- Peter Pan. Chessmen. Tinkerbell. Princesses. Faeries. One thing I like about the show is noticing new stuff every time I see it.
EXACTLY!!!!
Why thank you Contra Mom. BTW, thats my kid on the left side of your banner...
-
They look like the Freakin' Jolly Green Giant or Peter Pan, not munchkins or flying monkeys. That's all I'm sayin'...
I still like it.

Think it was an ice cream social this year after Bristol Parade?
With both corps rampant illnesses I think some of them must have been sharing spoons at that event.

Only two posts...new to this site or new name?
Some people like to have a dark alter ego on DCP... It's really funny when they start talking to one another and agreeing with what the other is saying.

Of course you are entitled to your opinion but you are a Cadets alumni after all. Puke & gimmick are such nice terms to use, very professional sounding.
this person is not a cadet.No. That person is a CC parent. But the person who originally mentioned puke and gimmick and pointless with regard to CC is FHNSAB... wouldn't that mean "For Holy Name Shall Always Be"? Sounds like a Cadet.

from alex's tweet- words cannot describe how good crowns show is. I may however need new pants.
-
interesting. DCI event staff shirts are almost the same color green as Crown.....
Are they filling some of the holes with judges? Maybe THAT is how they won the other night.
