Its going to be a great year

What He said!! :-)

the show is about throwing babys on the field while whiping away some tears with a smile on your face...

I really like what a previous post said, Its all depends on how good you are and how good everyone else is. I think this year is going to be a great year in general. Will there be suprises? Oh definately, no doubt. Some will be expected, and some will come out of nowhere.... My response to the Phantom Regiment dropping, i think its possible but it really goes to how much did the first place in percussion carry them last year... I think they will have an impacting show none the less.... I am excited for ALL corps...

Performed for him a few times this past summer and rehearse at the William A Cook Performing Arts Center every month. Honored. May you never walk alone.

I see your opinion, and i respect it. Let me ask you to respect mine. I do not under-rate the talent or programs at Carolina Crown, BlueStars, and Bluecoats. They ALL have great contributions to the activity and present very entertianing shows. With that being said, Many people can complain about the name of it, but its not going to change. I know that you know that. so lets just leave it at that, shall we? Thanks. When i say May you never walk alone, i truely mean it. I dont intead this comment to be a backlash or anytime of argumentive form. just simply acknowledging your response. Take care, and get excited the days til tour are winding down! MYNWA

so there is a god....

These are just predictions dont be discouraged. One of the best thing about being in this activity is surpassing peoples expectation.... you guys will do good, just stay focus on the task at hand and enjoy yourself. See you in the lot andon the field. -Madison Scouts member.

Agree.

Even reading this i am still confused..... i just liked music

Good call, how did you know we were going to bring back the "Carmen" character ?!?! :)

Pioneer 2010 - cant remember if it was Dallas or Houston, but during their ballad you could hear Madison Scouts playing their intro. It was pretty bad for them, i find it humourous personally.

rumer monger.....:)

Yeah, and that does make sense.... but another thing i wish that it would be a an event where its a current top 8 adds more to the fuel of competition in comparison to the other corps feeling they are not good enough. As you said in your previous post, earn it. Lets fight(figuratively) for it and see how that goes.

Sounds pretty harsh...there sir( or maam). Let me clarify, i dont oppose the TOC, just the name of it. Also it may have been 22 and 35 years ago, but they were still champions none the less, you cant deny Stars championship( in the past 2 decades) As for earning it. You got it. See ya on the feild this summer. Take Care, and MYNWA.

I am not quite sure to percieve this as Wow sarcasticly, or WOW enthuasticly....

This will be my third summer marching, and i cant help but feel that the competiton side of things often depicts the activity. I marched Boston in 2009 and Madison in 2010 and will be marching again this year. I want to try a social experiment, but id like input from you DCPers.... I wanna create a "group" (ideally current marchers, who are DCPers) and have an interaction with each other to wear you dont just see the performance of a corps but you get to know the members of the corps as well. I am really having hard time wording this but basically I wanna try to befriend atleast ONE member of every corps, and get to know what being apart of that corps means to them... and in return i am sure it would give myself and others a different perspective in the activity, because we all give up something to march, and its great to hear what other people give up to march..... Shoot me your opinions and if you have ideas that works.

Just a side information, our youngest member just graduated the 8th grade before move ins.... We have quite a few members this year that are vets that are still in high school. but the AVERAGE age, im not sure. i was 19 so yeah :)

Too bad you guys wont get to see all of the DCI champions, considering its the "tournament of Champions"

If you catch the 8 or the 16 buses thurs-mon there is a chance you would see a madison scout(me) on his way to and from work :)

I would say most different would be Scouts, just because i know the program. ( and its not a Part dos Scouts are back, and just continueing what we done last year and surpassing expectations for this year once again....just to prove that it wasnt a fluke, similar to CC 05-09. And when i say different, i mean a different feel of the tunes.... same concept of peforming for t he fans, but more in depth, but i do see what you are saying in similar..... good call. Least different, Crown? I only say this because 09 and 10 were similar, but i dont know. Perhaps Pioneer as in something not with celtic music? lol

I would almost bet on a g8 getting beat by a certian rising Non-G8 corps....

That one isnt up to me, you will be on your feet during the show for sure. :) what happens during retreat isnt up to me, but the non performers in green.

This just came to mind....... Flashback to 2010 Allentown warm-ups and show, its gonna be that intense so leave your grandmas at home, because you will be on your feet. Sorry another teaser. but atlast: The way we were, the way we are, and the way we will be. MYNWA.
