  1. Been thinking about getting this mouthpiece for a little bit ever since i've seen one, but I have not yet tryed it out Thoughts?
  2. I'd add that the difficulty of the show is probably the most obvious answer to that question Looks at our show last year at blue stars, yep
  3. well, looking on the bright side of things, at least we'll be playing on a brand new brassline :) can't wait for the audition camp
  4. Is there anyway I could view or purchase a recording Big Loud and Live Quarterfinals from this past season? (yes I know there are finals dvd's, I'll be getting one too) It would just be nice to see Thanks, Josh - Blue Stars '10 Trumpet
  5. This is semi difficult considering I was involved in a corps this summer but... I loved performing in the Blue Stars I loved the music from Crown's show Bluecoats were quite impressive this year
  6. not terribly far back, I've seen and heard corps from a lot of different times, but I still have a lot to find out I generally have heard and seen shows from a few different eras, mainly from the ones I liked '86-'91 '99-'03 '06-'10 The earliest show being Star, the latest being well, us and other corps
  7. I became a fan after being exposed to DCI my freshman year of high school (2006), where I saw MACHINE by the Cavaliers, and Faust by Phantom Regiment, I thought it was the coolest thing ever and only dreamed of being in a drum corps Well, dream come true Blue Stars '10 - Trumpet haha
  8. good luck :) I'll see you at the November camp :)
  9. After seeing Star of Indiana Alumni, it reminded me of my marching band (in which I did not march but my brother did) and how much they cared, the crowd was more full, they cheered louder, the announcer was more enthusiastic the music is Belshazzar's Feast (also why star reminded me of this) If you care to watch it, it's actually (in my mind) quite good for a marching band after watching that, I got to thinking... wow... people cared soooo much more back then nowadays, I still love what I do, I still thought my first year of drum corps was absolutely amazing but I kind of wish crowds were like they used to be... anyone else think the same thing?
  10. from what I heard from our drum major this year that's been a tradition since '03 finals I believe
  11. I'm impressed how far this topic has gotten haha but I dealt with the issue the way everyone else did, you just don't really tend to care about some things on tour privacy being one of them rookie year was amazing - that is all
  12. Well, I'm heading out to move ins tomorrow for the first time as a "rookie" and I'm sure I'm in for the ride of my life. And I wish the best of luck to ALL corps this season including both World Class and Open Class Corps. Later DCP Fans and Alumni!
  13. pretty sure the guy in the picture had no problems with this poster
  14. I guess the all the blue corps are hurting a little after this one....
  15. We always let corps sleep in 1 of 4 of our High Schools' Gyms and use our facilities here from what I understand from my director it's a big deal here with my band director being a huge corps fan and both of his sons being former phantom regiment members (one being the other director at our school and the other our drill righter and visual head) the amount of respect here is really amazing and cool in many ways, it influenced me to audition for corps (along with a close friend of mine who is a recent member of a world class corps)
  16. I am pumped for this season :D, music sounds awesome, wish I could have been there, will be at the next camp for sure!
  17. Hi Alumni, a question or two from a drum corps newbie, I just got the drill charts for this season and I can honestly say that I'm a bit scared, excited and anxious and eager all at the same time So How was the drill/visual experience for you your very first year of drum corps? Was it a scary experience? Any tips (besides getting into shape and practicing the marching style)?
  18. well I don't think I've ever had any sort of dream like that - buuuuuuuuuut - I did have a dream a few months back about how I was in the blue devils performing at a show (marching a trumpet spot obviously) and for some reason I couldn't help but notice how badly I sucked at marching, and I looked down at my feet all while playing at the music at the same time and some how could play fine weiiiiird dream honestly, don't remember all the details .... when I awoke that morning I realized how highly illogical it was in so many ways Anyway, back on topic, I predict 1) Crown will win the championship this year 2) Move-ins is going to be killer for me as a newbie to drum corps 3) I'll finally understand the true meaning of INT 4) The acoustics will be better this year when they open up the roof :) 5) This will be the closest DCI placement in history as far as 1-12 goes 5) This summer is going to be awesome!
  19. Well for instance, there was 1000 Airplanes on the Roof - Phantom's '07 Opener
