What I heard on the webcast was booing right after Crown's placement/score was announced. IMO, I don't like booing especially in an activity such as this where the members put so much time and effort into something they obviously love (or they wouldn't subject themselves to months of torture). I don't know if there is an answer to how to express disappointment in a placement w/o disrepecting another Corps.

And you might just come up with a new way of looking at how everything relates. Go for it! :thumbup:/>

For those who are interested, here are Crown's encore selections: Rolling Thunder Our Town Get On Your Feet Light Fantastic (the closer for the E = mc2 show)

BD: There was one section where they went jazzy and then to the customary "park and bark". I wish they would have either made this a little longer or did something similar later on. Nice.

Please excuse me (yes, I'm a homer and have an age-out in Crown), but WOW!!! This is the first time I've seen the entire show with drill and uniforms. Great job Crown!!!

That triplet run before the ballad sounds really cool live--it ripples up and down the brass line.

YES--thanks for the zoom so we can see the uniforms! Hmmmm....I LIKE!

Go Crown!!!

Yep--no problems here (knock wood). Running off the Hi feed.

PC: A bit of a faux ending. Not sure what happens from this high level view.

Watching the webcast and from what I'm hearing, PC has a BIG sound.

Couldn't find anything about the narrator, but here's the story behind the show: Destination America. You'll need to scroll down a bit. Interesting!

Not familiar with the show/music. What is the source material for the narration? I would like to look it up. Thanks.

Yep. 15 minutes until Mandarins, so I expect it will come back on shortly.

But "c mor" says the age range is 8-14, so most of these aren't even high school aged kids. Edit: I saw your retraction. Thanks.

Actually, the choreography is very similar to the musical number in "Grease". (I've played that show way too many times.)

BDC: Corps dancing to "Greased Lightning" (from Grease). Love it! :tongue:/>

What are the general age ranges in BDB and BDC? I assume some younger members in "C". Does anyone ever age-out in "C" or do they always move up to "B" and BD? Yes, I know very little about the BD organization other than they are a pretty well-oiled machine.

OK--works for me. Thanks fsubone and Cleveland1!

Anyone know why BDB is going on before BDC? Was there a random draw among the Open Class Corps? Just curious.

Vanguard Cadets: Entire Guard (and there are a LOT of them) all on rifles. Interesting.

Or am I too early? :doh:/>/> Edit: Arrrrgggghhhh! I work with a software group in Utah, so I'm used to adding 2 hours to Mountain Time to get Eastern. Did so out of habit this time, but it's really Pacific. Duh!

Is anyone watching the webcast? Is it up yet?

Go Spirit!!! <(

Yep--just found it on CorpsReps.
