  1. I have one for sale, my friend can't make it. Sec 141, row 18, seat 2. It's the part of the section closest to the 50. Text me at 512-922-4825. I plan on being there before the first group steps off at 2, but can meet you at the entrance at anytime during the show. Asking face value, $79.

    Thanks, Jimmy

  2. Hello,

    I have two seats to quarters on Thursday in Indy. Happy to sell them at face value, $59 each.

    Section 141, row 18, seats 1 and 2. 

    These are the aisle seats closest to the 50. I prefer these seats because you look right to the center of the field with fewer people in the way to block the view. 

    I can meet you there (I plan on arriving around 11 or 12 that morning) or we can split the cost of UPS air guaranteed shipping if you want. 

    PM me or respond here. 

  3. Hello,

    We can also design and print up any tees you want in quantities of 50 or more on quality 100% Gildan tees starting at only $5.95 for one color ink prints. For orders over 100, we can make an even better deal. FREE SHIPPING to any US location. I have taught music for 15 years and attend all the DCI Finals, so you can trust me to design a great music tee. Just PM me.

    Thanks!

  4. I like BK a lot up to the "great event" part. After that it seems rather bland. The first half is such a great setup, that you think something really cool must be coming, but it is not happening so far.

    I completely agree, there is just something missing at the end. I hope they figure out a solid ending to this mostly great show.

  5. The ballad is actually a piece for concert band called "Sanctuary," which was written for Ticheli's colleague and friend H. Robert Reynolds. The main melody was then translated into "Earth Song," which eventually became its own piece for band.

    "October" by Whitacre went through a similar transformation, originally being written for concert band, then transcribed for string orchestra, and resurfacing as a work for choir under the title "Alleluia."

    Very cool, thanks for the background. I didn't know "Earth Song" was also a band piece.

  6. My Awards so far:

    Most Innovative: Blue Coats

    Best Musicianship: Crown

    Most Intense: Cadets

    Most Talented: Blue Devils

    Most Improved: Cavaliers

    Best Drill: Vanguard

    Overachievers: Blue Stars/Blue Knights

    Worst Use of Talent: Phantom/Scouts (although both shows have very nice moments, I just wish they had better show designs)

    The top 5 groups are a real pleasure to watch, I hope it's a 5 way tie for first.

  7. Question about this photo: The last show I got to see was Minneapolis and I can tell just by the closing set that SCV changed their closer. Now I really hope my memory isn't going already but I only remember 4 cymbal players at the Minnesota regional. Also, as far back as I can remember, I've only seen SCV with 4 cymbal players. Who's the 5th? Does a member of the pit pick up a pair and march out to complete that final set? Anyone?

    I noticed this too. They marched 4 cymbals and I am pretty sure I saw a fifth ran out just for the final set.

  8. With great pain I must sell my finals tickets (I am moving across country to take a new job). These are great seats in the Friends of DCI section 540 in the center of the field, seats 13 and 14, for all three nights. All I ask is face value and shipping. I know it is coming up quickly, so email me soon if you are interested. Thanks!

  9. Still available

    Hello, I just sent you a PM. I am very interested and can send payment asap. I will be bringing a friend of mine to see the shows and these seats would be great! Thanks

    I'll also make a donation to your favorite DCI corp. Thanks!

  10. Which corps are marching the toughest drills this year? I think SCV, Bloo, Cavies, Crown, and Phantom are leading the way...... your opinions?

    BTW, I love the BD's show this year, but quick question........ Is their drill easier than other top corps? Since many of their sets involve small groups marching in random forms, it seems like it would be easier to clean. They don't do nearly as much full corp stuff as other groups, and they use a lot of free form drill. I am sure it took them a long time to learn, but I wonder if it took them as much time to clean as other corps. Opinions?
