I completely agree. I think the 1 bar pause is just too long of a linger. The effect I think, begins to get lost in that 1 bar pause.

10-4 good buddy.

In France and in many parts of Europe, a zero (0) usually has a slash through it. No?

No you are not alone. I found BC kinda boring myself. Way too much electronics. It was really distracting to me personally. I want drum corps with as little electronics as possible.

Blue Balls. Yeah. Someone's not getting enough?

Yeah so tell BD to stop winning, will ya? :)

The Hype Train stops every 15 minutes and a new Hype climbs on board.

That little video of KPOP made me wanna barf.

Lots of Autotuning, lypsynching and "hip hop style dancing" ala all those Boy Bands from the 90s.

SCV - 81.5 !!! When was the last time SCV had the highest score in the Nation (albeit perhaps a short lived time)?

I have to say, the K-Pop section is my favorite part of the BD show. It's just... unexpected, and weird and funky ... all at the same time! I watched it online and I said to myself, "What .. in the hell... is going on here?"" In a GOOD way.

I have, I think, seen maybe one of the most exciting drum line warm ups ever! These kids are amazing. The drum set with Roger Carter is I think a first. Head drum guy leading the warm ups on drum set. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MR50cBt_CA

The Spark of Invention made the City of Lights burn brightly so that the Ink in the books could be turned into words.

Sorry, I saw about 5 minutes of the Bluecoats vid at the Indy. It was really all I could stand. Just way way too too much electronics, too too much unrecognizable music. It, to me, was just plain boring. Reminded me of Crown 2013 Part 2.

Um, actually it could. If there's no electricity in the house, or if the electronics stop working because of "technical difficulties".

What a shallow thing to say. What the hell is a "natural celebrity look"? Oh do you think California is full of celebrities and everyone looks attractive? WRONG.

Of course I know this isn't the same drunline. Correct yourself! Paul and Sandi Rennick. Champion percussion writers.I know it's their 1st year writing for the WP. World Class Program. All of those wonderful Backstage videos. Cadets and Cavies, also top 7 drum corps, made it into WGI Finals. Santa Clara, 21st. What. Happened?

SCV Winter Percussion: Wow - what happened?? 21st place in Prelims in Dayton?

SCV Cadets sounded a little weak. A-CORPS OMG!! HYPE!!!!

In case you didn't see it, JB's post on his silly little FB group, it's all gone, the rant along with emails to and from Dan A. I guess fear makes some people have a nice little time with the right clicking and Delete....

It's just the disgruntled and bitter JB trying to start up drama. Plain and simple. He seems so obsessed about trying to create the downfall of DCI, or trying to expose some evil or wrong cover up or wrong-doings.

They are spending too much time and energy hating, and disliking and #####ing and moaning. Especially that one guy on there who is posting emails and kinds of "evidence" to back himself up. Yeah B____ I drank the Kool Aid. Sure was delicious.

John Blair needs to get a friggin' life. Just shut up already. DCI and Dan don't really have any obligation to reply to nut jobs like John. Just shut up.

Disappointing in a way. So few top 12 corps actually seem to participate in the what is now called Performers Showcase (originally individual and ensemble). I mean, yeah, it's sponsored by System Blue this year, so yeah there's alot of participation by the blue devils, a smattering of Madison. But sadly the rest of the top 15 (?) seem to be missing. No phantom, no scv, no cavaliers..... Woodwinds and vocal ensembles up the wazoo. Yawn.

Oh hush, But don't act all like the corps is doing the pitch bend "live". It's sort of like lip synching.
