I so enjoy those encore videos by "System Blue" Too bad we don't get them from other corps -

2023 DCI WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP FINALS
frank4now replied to arabica's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
I'm a fan of BD show this year. Don't really like what they did with ending though this last couple weeks. Ends on low note I think which is a shame. I like that they are winning all season though but are still trying up to the end to improve. Kudos for that! -
DCI Finals: Advice/Tips for Attendees
frank4now replied to GetOFFmyDot's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Get there early! Last year line snaked around stadium to get in. Almost missed first corp. Also don't drink too much! 20 minute intermission is not long enough time for 20,000 people to pee...lol You don't want to miss Mandarins tonight. Should be 🔥 Have a great time! -
I always enjoy seeing what the Crossmen come up with every season. I've really enjoyed a few of thier shows over the past 10 years. I am surprised that with so many talented marchers and musicians in Texas I really expected them to climb in the ranks. I wonder why that hasn't happened? Are the top talent in Texas leaving Texas to go to the top 5 corps? Just curious from someone who may be in the know. I love the Crossmen so no offense intended.

Last year you couldn't have a bag or purse larger than your outstretched hand. My wife brought one a little too big and had to go back and put in the room. I will say some of the employees we're enforcing this more than others so it's inconsistent. I prefer not to pay for overpriced mediocre food in the stadium so we usually arrive early and catch a few corps then look at the scedule and decide which 3 or 4 we can miss (embarrassed to say because I hate to miss any but it's a long day) combined with a break and we find a close place to eat. In the past we have ate at the Shapiros delicatessen a few blocks from the stadium. It's really good cafeteria style line. They are busy but moved fast. Last year we ate at Slippery Noodle which is closer with possible longer wait but also very good.

NightBEAT 34 - July 30th, 2023
frank4now replied to noahsigs's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Mandarins sounding good tonight. One thing that's been bothering me though with alot of corps is recorded singing voices this year. I really enjoyed some of the live voices in the past few years. I know others have not loved it so much but it's high risk, high reward in my opinion to use live singers. There is too much this year in shows like the Mandarins, Carolina Crown and others. I'm sure you could find some great voices out there in your ranks. Mandarins should have used a live voice for "I'm Tired". Would have been worth it. Not sure if CC could find an appropriate voice to cover Bjork but would have been great if they did. I'm just thinking of you have the voices use them if not leave it out for the most part. -
MURFREESBORO MASHUP JULY 28
frank4now replied to Phantom56's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Really enjoying Crown this year. I enjoy it more every watch. Loved it live early season, looking forward to Indy! Just love the music and the drama of the show. It's a well crafted show overall, not disjointed like a few of the other favorites are this year. Can't wait to see them even make it better in the next couple of weeks. Great job CC! May be wearing my purple polo to Indy this year instead of one of my Blue.. somethings shirt...lol. I love my Blue...somethings too. -
Let's Talk About the Blue Devils...
frank4now replied to Cappybara's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Felt the need to re-post this. I don't nessasarily believe in a bias for Devils but these videos are funny. Couldn't find the one for 2012. I think it's even better. Hopefully noone offended by this. All in good fun. -
Three Favorite Shows this Year (so far)
frank4now replied to JohnDF's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
I'd have to say so far...I've seen these live except BD: Troopers, Carolina Crown, Bluecoats and Blue Devils. I know that's 4. Can't do three yet, I need a couple more viewings. I Predict by Indy it will be BD, BC, and CC. Troopers will be close I don't think they will get it as clean as the others and I do like it when it's #### near perfect. -

I know in the past I've read on here that full judging isn't always in place this early. If that's the case what are we missing? -

3 minute Video summarizes love of Drum Corps
frank4now replied to TexasPRfan's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Great video! Emotional. I missed the chance to march corp and regret that. I sure hope one of my grandkids catches the bug and gets the chance. I can share in that with them. Fingers 🤞 -

Not everyone's favorite but I saw Cadets a few times live in 2007 and the end was a blast. Starting at about 10:30 in this video
