Agreed some good foundation being laid

Only DCI would launch an app the last week of a season

I guess I know what happened with BD 2011 props

$$ for the top 8

I mean if they had a better design were cleaner AND sell it better, Crown probably wouldn't have soundly beaten them every time - just a theory!

and actual songs - it's radical

Very good live, got to see them Tuesday in Annapolis - musically just sound TERRIFIC, light years ahead of the last half-dozen years. Enjoy!

I mean, sure, if you consider that "beer" 🤣

nice show - wish I was able to be there!

what is wrong with DCI -- why on earth wouldn't you keep things the same? It's a rhetorical question btw, I know the answer.

This ain't Felliniesque, not even close

ok - I just don't remember it, certainly given my brain issues lol I know way back in the 80s Cadets usually had about 20 more shows than BD in a given season from what I recall

well - not sure the Cadets thing was a "choice" it was a budgetary necessity I think I'm thinking Cavaliers move ahead of BS tonight. JMO

Which year was THAT? Curious.

Amazon.com : OLD BAY Seasoning, 24 oz - One 24 Ounce Container of OLD BAY All-Purpose Seasoning with Unique Blend of 18 Spices and Herbs for Seafood, Poultry, Salads, and Meat : Seafood Seasoning : Everything Else "Beach Fries" or "Ocean City Fries" (twice fried natural cut potatoes) are traditionally dusted with Old Bay - Old Bay is what is used on hard-shell crabs here in the Mid-Atlantic

I'm a food & beverage guy - yes, I've literally tried everything - ranch fries is definitely "a thing" personally prefer spicy - ranch is just too sweet for me personally, but you are mostly certainly NOT crazy.

noooooo.... Maybe pizza crust - but fries? no no no.

this is a cry for help - so allow me, fries are best with malt vinegar and Old Bay - nothing else compares

Zero idea , most corps are layering, so maybe?

Yes, but absolutely not become a popularity contest. JMO

thanks for the list - this is where I got to attend, I did tons of whining about the Rose Bowl crowd at the time, I'm not nearly frustrated now lol. The drinking, smoking, catcalls, booing, it was a lot to stomach. I felt the opposite in 2011 at Indy when I felt BD should have one. In both cases I felt GE bled over into performance captions.

Are you suggesting I'm lying? I'm a consultant - I had business in Oregon, I went to 2 shows prior to the 3 days at the Rose Bowl. If you feel inclined go back to the old posts on this very site and you will see me documenting the trip with pictures. I also got to several corps' rehearsals that trip. I do not like being accused of lying so back off.

it's probably a generational thing - I hate the hair thing. I get the concept - I just don't like it. I'm aware others do.
