Sigh! I'm outta here. Gonna let the Son use Flo and keep the Grandson entertained til his bedtime. Enjoy! Go SOA! Go PC! Go Crown!!!

Yep -- CorpsClash says no events for 2024. 😞

Yay Southwind! (Short interviews of Open Class members during INT.)

Stay away from CrowdStrike. But you knew that.

No timpani for Colts? First time seeing any DCI this season, so it may not fit for this show. Less hassle for the pit crew.

I want that standup electric bass! The Wife says No! until I get rid of some other stuff. Ain't gonna happen.

Just turned on Flo on my Pioneer/FireTV w/small Bose sound bar. No complaints about video or audio. Go Baby Blue!!! )>

It's tonight. Too early for scores but not for predictions. 🙂

Just got a notification they are looking into the issue.

In the past day or so, I can't view the 2024 season data. I can see the rankings which are showing the recent scores and I can see 2023 data. I have the latest update. This is my goto app for staying in touch with the DCI competitions, so I'm a bit lost without it. Thanks! Edit: The 2024 data isn't loading for The Wife also.

Just scanned this thread, so I probably missed some things. COTC was so bad no one wanted to submit a synopsis of the show on IMDB . The one posted there is mine. I was really disappointed they couldn't use any of the music the corps were playing. I seem to recall a snippet or two (from other corps) during the Finals episode. That killed it for me. That is all.

Yesterday, Spirit posted on FB about needing "3 Special Performers": Calling all acrobats, dancers, and gymnasts! Want to be part of something big? Spirit of Atlanta's new show 'Creatures' is your chance to shine in 2024. We’re searching for special talents like yours. Apply now and let's make this show unforgettable together! Interesting

DCI posted on Twitter that SOA's show title is "Creatures". SOA page

I was told our "unit band" was the last of the 17-piece sea bands. The Navy moved to pool bands, one for the Atlantic and one for the Pacific. From a large group of musicians, they'd pick a group to go on a cruise. Not sure if they still do that or not.

Yes -- I've heard that. Before our Med cruise, we spent a week training on radar for an upcoming exercise on the cruise. The instructor said it seemed musicians had a unique knack for being able to write backwards on the plexiglass info boards. I've been mirror writing since I was a kid. Used to drive my mother crazy. 🙂 BTW -- During the exercise the band was conveniently off the ship playing concerts ashore. Hmmm ... it's as if someone didn't want us around.
