Old Corps Guy

I think the discount code is "YOU ARE DREAMING" LOL

I marched both DCI (70s-80s) and DCA 2010. I marched in the "Commandants Own" and Washington Redskins Marching Band in between my DCI and DCA days. I know the licensing is rough. Just holding out hopes to see one of those old DCI shows I marched before I moved to a finalist corps.

Correct me if I am wrong. It was my understanding the Akron show was the show that will be shown in the theaters on June 23. During the Crown preview last night, Dan Potter mentioned the Indy show on June 18 was the theater show. Or did he confuse it with the Fan Network Premier? Or am I just getting old and heard the statement incorrectly?

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!

2014 Finals will be available live for $55

Will DCI be holding back the scores until cinema night for the Akron show?

Cruel on so many levels. Early weather reports were promising. Now, I'm getting nervous.

Time to bump this back up. I have now seen the preview of Cadets and Cavies. I can't be more excited to see these shows live. More to come this week.

I can't beleive that I am still having trouble accessing shows from previous years on my iPhone. Is anyone else having issues with the iPhone 5s and Fan Network?

Thank you for the updated link. I wasn't able to log on until it was over. Bandwidth issue I am sure.

Most of us marched in a non-finals corps at some point in our DC history and would love to see those shows again. We all agree on that. I believe we would just like to see some "transparency" regarding efforts on this one. It pulls at the heart strings when you get taken back in time to see those old corps and wish you could see your own corps that marched the same year.

I resemble that remark. I'm Hurt. But I think in a good way.

I agree with you. This would be why I suggested that we take out our obivous bias (Myself included). You really have to be able to justify your statement. Maybe the real question is "What piece can you justify to a non-DC fan that the Drum Corps version is better than the orginal?" We are all preaching to the choir right now. C'MON MAN! Bring your "A-Game" and really justify that the drum corps version is better than the orignial.

ROCKY POINT HOLIDAY Need I say more?

OK, I see i typo'd the title. If a moderator could fix it, I would appreciate it. :laughing:

Time to bring your "A" game and don't be a "homer" What DCI performed song is better than the original source music? This is a tough question when you try to take out our obvious bias to DCI. With the Scouts pulling some Don Ellis tunes for 2014, I can't get the 27th version from 1982 of "Niner Two" out of my head. I actually feel a little let down when I listed to the Don Ellis version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAhTPATVI1Q . Have at if you can bring it without the bias.

I believe that is when they released 2012 Finals last year as well. At least they are consistent.

You forgot to mention getting the drone from Regiment and recording it all on video from above.

I am working with an iPhone 5s and am having trouble on multiple years. So far, no luck.

I am not a beta tester and don't claim to be one. However, I have attempted to watch past years on three separate devices. Two worked fine while one did not. I was able to watch previous years with no issues on both my desktop windows machine on IE and on my Samsung Galaxy tablet using chrome. As for my iPhone, not so good. While I was able to login after some extra effort (When will they fix the logoff so that you can change devices?), I was unable to view any files. The old message is still there "this file is unavailable at this time." We got this message last year when devices weren't able to access. Please let me know what mobile devices are working for you.

When I marched with Bucs in 2010, there were a couple female contras/tubas. Great ladies and I truly appreciated their work. I thought I had it tough marching with the euph. They earned my respect and admiration. Never be afraid to take on the challenge. The reward at the end if worth the effort.

That's two different answers when we include your previous submission. Are you working the split personality thing this morning?

Totally and completely agree!!!!

Now that we have most of the source music information thanks to the great work of mingusmonk and others, I have two questions. 1. What song are you most looking forward to hearing on the field? 2. What song can't you get out of your head?

OK, my wife is already sick of Hymn of Acxiom. And I haven't even heard Bluecoats play it yet. Sucks to be her. LOL :laughing:
