I guess it wasn't that obvious

You are rude; if you don't like them get off DCP and stay on Twitter

keep the naive band kid fangirling and get rid of theyremovingit - I guess you were never young and naive; this is a good time to listen to that generation about drum corps.

I just saw that Ken Turner was judging - ouch for Cadets

Does anyone remember when the top two corps went through a season like this year; number one (BD) never finished lower than first and number two (Cadets) never finished lower than second?

The plant genus is named after French botanist Pierre Magnol.

Easy to watch and listen to - Thank you (The) Academy.

and they have matching earring sets!

I think top 25 but only the top 17 are shown in the theater - but not sure.

It seemed to me that beginning without plumes was a bit of a negative and adding the pumes may have just got that negative back - not net gain. May a plume exchange with a different color or maybe just leave the plume idea alone and do something else. Boy do I hit extra keys when I type!

It's niice to see Pioneer with a full drum line. I can remember when their battery was only snares and bass; no tenors.

Do percussion caption heads and front ensemble writers listen to what they write - I have been listening to the crashes and many times during some very nice brass passages there will be this God awful cymbal crash on a cymbal that sounds like a garbage can cover.

It's a hole - snares change positions in the drill many times so at times the missing snare is on the end and there is no hole; when he/she is one in from the end, there is a hole.

I would love to be a fly on the wall when their team sits down to decide their next year's show. That has to be a few very interesting meetings.

Every time they win, they set a new record - 15 going on.........

Well, two of the obvious reasons for their success is BDB abd BDC - quit the farm system.

Kennedy wrote many of Boston's shows (lots of original scores). I know originally he was a drummer that used to do a lot of studio work taping jingles.

I re-read my post - I referred to them as two competent judges - I don't know them to be anything but that.

Thank you - I still am wondering if there is a committee or person that reviews judges scoring. Jay Kennedy has been around a long time - don't know Kemp; maybe Kemp's had the less accurate score?;

You are absolutely wrong. I have never called foul - I asked a question. If you don't know the answer keep your mistaken facts out of it!

Two GE Judges; 1 has Cadets in 2nd with an 18.0; the other has the Cadets in 5th with an 18.4. Almost every organization that depends on someone's talents to adjudicate something, there is a system to review their choices (balls and strikes/penalties/fouls/etc). Does DCI do this with their judges because it doesn't seem this would be possible between two competent judges?

who cares what you are going to do - just go do it and spare us.

How do you/we know they are out there the full 11 minutes?

missing a snare too

Wesleyrp, Bluecoats should hire you for their positive attitude manager - even if they lose to the Cadets, you have them inching closer and closer to a victory over them next time out.
