Just got my FedEx confirmation for my delivery tomorrow!

Unless they do something different for preorders, I'm expecting emails from both DCI and FedEx when they ship, since that's what I got for the past season BluRays I ordered about a month ago.

It might have been the vocals to "Vanishing Act" then.

I know they mention shipping the CDs on or after 16/11, but has anyone gotten a shipping confirmation yet?

Regarding the CDs: Please note, due to copyrights and licensing, the following edits have been made: • The Cavaliers – 01:40 of pre-recorded audio has been omitted • Mandarins – 00:40 of pre-recorded audio has been omitted I don't think Mandarins will be a huge issue, since I've timed the questionable options from my recording of Finals and the Stravinsky voiceover fits perfectly in the time frame. It also appears that both of the singing portions of The Cavaliers will also be cut. Neither of them add up to the full 1:40, but one is about 0:40 and the other is about 1:00.

I wonder if it's similar reasoning to 2013. Rite of Spring has a copyright for exclusivity in the US, if I remember right. I think they did that with re:Rite and now with Fall and Rise.

Yeah, just Blu Ray and CD this year due to lack of demand for the DVD. Good news is that the Blu-Rays are the same price as what the DVDs were.

No love for the ending of Frameworks and the Fight Club reprise?

My suggestion for The Cavaliers is the same as it is every year: Give us a show called "Deus Ex Machina" with all original music.

2018 marks the tenth year that Finals have been held in Lucas Oil Stadium. Now that Finals have concluded, what are everyone's favorite shows from each corps to be performed inside the Oil Can? Santa Clara Vanguard: Babylon Blue Devils: Cabaret Voltaire Bluecoats: Metropolis: The Future is Now Carolina Crown: For the Common Good Boston Crusaders: S.O.S. The Cavaliers: Mad World The Cadets: 12.25 Blue Stars: Where the Heart Is Blue Knights: Because Mandarins: Life Rite After Phantom Regiment: Juliet Crossmen: Fragile Spirit of Atlanta: Crossroads: We Are Here Colts: Dark Side of the Rainbow The Academy: (RE) Madison Scouts: Reframed Troopers: The New Road West Pacific Crest: Here's to the Ones Who Dream Music City: Hell on Wheels: The Final Journey of Casey Jones Oregon Crusaders: Nevermore Genesis: Art of Darkness Seattle Cascades: Set Free Jersey Surf: Bridgemania Pioneer: The Corps Prayer

As a Packers fan, Cutler was my favorite Bear. He was so good at throwing to our defense!

Correct; or another way to look at it is that Boston has to score 0.108 points above the score of The Cavaliers to overtake them. If The Cavaliers tie or score higher than Boston, there is no way for them to be overtaken in the Prelims rankings.

Sure thing! For the higher placed group, I took the sum of the scores from San Antonio and Atlanta and added 100 to them to represent a perfect score at Allentown. Then I divided that by 3. Once I had that number, I did that for the group directly below them, except I added to the last score until my average came out to be the same as the first average. Vanguard: (92.325+93.675+100)/3 = 95.333 BD: (90.975+93.250+101.775)/3 = 95.333

Santa Clara Vanguard: 0.000 Blue Devils: +1.775 Bluecoats: +0.775 Carolina Crown: +1.838 The Cavaliers: +3.275 Boston Crusaders: +0.138 The Cadets: +4.900 Blue Stars: +3.063 Blue Knights: +0.138 Phantom Regiment: +1.750 Mandarins: +1.650 Crossmen: +2.113 Spirit of Atlanta: +3.263 The Academy: +0.125 Colts: +3.075 Madison Scouts: 1.625 Troopers: +2.363 Pacific Crest: +5.663 Music City: +4.275 Oregon Crusaders: +1.613 Genesis: +3.538 Seattle Cascades: +5.100 Jersey Surf: +1.425 Pioneer: +9.200

I can work on that. It'll give me something to do at work, lol.
