Not a good spot for Finals, but the new stadium at the University of Minnesota would be a great spot for a Reginal or some other big show. http://www1.umn.edu/stadium/images_stadium...endering_lg.jpg http://www1.umn.edu/stadium/images_stadium...endering_lg.jpg

It is not a rumor. Chad is no longer with the Blue Stars.

Must have missed that somehow. Thanks guys

Now that Murphy is in where does that leave Rosander? I have a guess, but I wonder if anyone knows the real deal. http://www.drumcorpsplanet.com/content/view/2481/28/

Several corps have added caption supervisors to their staff, what is the difference? What does a caption supervisor do that a caption head does not? I know what a caption head does, but was is the role of a caption supervisor?

1997, DCI-AD finals at Hershey Park. We are waiting to go on the field, the rival Crossmen are coming off. We were backed up and inorder for the X-Men to get off the field quickly a show coordinator asked us if we would let them through. That was not going to happen. The man started to get frustrated and asked again. Once again we ignored him and just stood there. He then yelled, "This isn't ####### Boston Crusaders 1975, let them through!!!" We did not. We eventually marched out of the way and then Crossmen were allowed to leave.

I was very very confused by #2 on your list when I saw them in Mankato. I did not understand what they were going for at all, that needs a rewrite big time. I am glad to see that it was not just my memory slipping with the guard work. I don't remember a single flag being spun in the opener.

I forgot to add this. I have always loved Madison, but the BOD and current managment/staff/members/alumni/fans/family/pets are all idiots who frankly should have never been born. Thanks for reminding me. :P

I agree with you 100%. I realize that it is a crime to speak ill of Madison, but the facts are that the product they have right now is not good. The design, especally visually is not good. The drill in the ballad was flat out awful. There were parts of the opener where I was scratching my head because I did not think what I saw lined up at all with what I was hearing. There were a few moments I liked in the closer. I hated Kashmir both musically and visually. The music for the last two tunes has potential, but as long as they are redoing the drill they may as well redo the music for the opener too. I think the old saying about putting lipstick on a pig applys to the show in its current form.

That is not Brent Turner. Brent's last year on Scouts staff was 95. I was teaching a HS band with Brent in 97 and that is not him. He is on tour as we speak with the Scouts though.

I saw Colts a few weeks back and thought almost the exact same thing about end of show. Really loved the show, but the end needs work.

If anyone is thinking about this, go do it!!!! I saw PR last night and they were out of this world. After one viewing it is already one of my top five shows ever. The horn line is outstanding. If only I was 9 years younger.

Is that the Troopers or the Blue Devils? I can't tell since they are both wearing blue tops and dark pants.

Have not seen them, but Pioneer will have new unis. I do know a little about the Blue Stars new uni, but it is very little and I don't want to spoil thier surprise. If what I have heard is true, they will be very cool and not like what anyone else in DCI is wearing. I can't wait to see them in a week.

I guess I will take your advice, but based on the picture they are one of my favorite uniforms. I hated the bell hop look, but I love the new ones. Based on the picture of course.
