I think the Madison show is technically better than its getting scored, its getting held back a bit because its so different from their norm. They are in a weird position as not necessarily a fan favorite this year and that sentiment has kinda shifted to mandarins and to a certain degree academy. However, madison has a smart last leg show schedule with a optimal slot for a allentown and good show spacing for cleaning time beforehand then a sprint to build up whatever they get tmrw. I believe this will help them secure finals momentum over mandarins.

Last nights Wisconsin showdown with the Stars I think was an important one that gave a direct shoulder to shoulder competition. Even though Stars edged them out they kind of stagnated when adding their new closer yesterday with only a .2 improvement (GE lag it looks from recap), Scouts however showed a 1.1 point improvement which is a healthy gain. This weekend should be a wild ride for competition in the 9-12 bracket.

Classy move to let Madison play before the Coats for a home show of sorts if that's the case. That move helped Madison square up directly to the Stars and getting them breathing directly down their neck. Impressive movement up for those guys, the 9th place acquisition is a real dog fight this year it seems.

Cant wait to see the new ending in Atlanta, expecting an epic one.

I've been silent on here for awhile but as a Scout alum and a current combat arms officer in the military this show is very well done and means a lot to me and other military personnel that ive shown it to that have had no previous introduction to drum corps at all who loved it and appreciated its theme. The show is well done and the appreciation of what our combat forces go threw and dependence on each other is dedicated well in this show and im quite proud of the work that's going into it. The upcoming show in Atlanta is very close to Benning and you can bet active service personnel will be watching them perform there.

Madison should be debuting there new uniforms at this month's camp, not a lot has been said about them so its still unknown if its an overhaul or just color changes.

There is some short videos from camp on facebook of some quick exercises and high-mark time practice. They were extremely short but overall looked pretty good and sounded well. They were practicing in the IU indoor football field which is nice to practice in to get on a field during winter.

February camp i believe begins today looking forward to new updates and hopefully a video.

Besides the occasional fleur logo, Madison also has the famous superman pose. Its usually in somewhere in a show whether its a single soloist or an entire line, thus the green superman patch some have that I don't believe is available for sale, they only give them out to members.

So its around that time, do we have any camp updates for the month or no.

i'd like to see the madison or blue devil version of this haha.

Try brand new out of the case. Yamaha and King are far superior.

I've played on these many times unfortunately and they are awful, they are heavy, detune frequently, and produce a muttled sound. There is a reason why they are called "die-nasty". A tuned sound dies off as you play it and they sound nasty lol.
