I've been checking everyday! You the biggest tease, my friend! :-) any update? Rumors maybe?

hey this is cool, if everyone would just take a moment and cool down and enjoy some great teaser of the Scouts this year.

I am fairly certain that he means he helped out with some behinds the scenes logistics preparing the corps for move ins. I know because there were no horns playing notes guard spinning and drums banging... haha I am sure he just was being a great volunteer. Thank you for your help btw!

HE was really quite with us in 2010, but i do remember hearing him tell us that as well.

Well, I am not too sure about this, and Mr. Felts please correct me if i am wrong, but their synth(s) players used alot of piano sounds in the show last year. I personally know of there being a "bassline" played in absences of the tubas but in terms of a synth making them sound louder than what they(we) really are: I personally think not. and Im not bashing you or anythng because you are a brother.

From someone who is actually a member of the hornline, I know for a fact that we do not " FORCE" our sound out, only for effect purpose have we ever( See last note before Drum solo) used "forced" sounds. And i personally do NOT care who thinks we are loud, and who thinks we are not. Volume is all perception. I am trained to ALWAYS play with a good sound. Donnie's memorable quote and those who have worked under him would agree: "Always play with your best sound. Look good, and SOUND good. Now, I am not going to argue anything because it all doesnt really matter. I understand how you have explained your perception, however, I do not think that "forced" sounds is the word that best fits for the way I have understood your post. Now this is all my perception of your post, but i think you are saying Scouts have that unique "balls to the wall" sound. If that isn't right then maybe you are trying to say Madison Scouts have that "Madison Scouts" sound. Lastly, I am a normal drum corps dude, so from one normal person to another: I hope you are having a good day. I just got off work, so Im just catching up on my DCP before bed. Best Wishes.

Hornline.... there is no doubt that this program is going to be amazing. There were some "wow" moments as well as "H*ll yeah!" moments. I am excited for the Men of Madison this year.

Gosh, How i miss it when people could stay on topic.

I think your trying to say that if the blue devils hornline was a woman, It would be Dolly Parton, heavy on the top. Accurate? lol

I do hear the same chords from year to year.... just saying. Perhaps its not the sake of lets uses the same chords as last year, but perhaps its just Klesh's ( as well has the hornline's) signature chords. I often hear the same chord progressions from corps year-after-year, but it, to me, is just that arranger's or hornline's style.

I didnt think anything was wrong with the brass book. Especially ESOM

I am not sure. im only a youngin.... but is it possible that BD won it finals night, but the "high brass" was an average between the three nights back then which was a 3 way from what i have heard? Note: I am based all on hear-say, which is why i made it a question not a statement.

The products wants to speak to me... When I hear the music, i cant help but hear the words: " this is really cool" inside my head. Does that mean the product is speaking for itself, through me? hahaha

From what i have gathered from friends marching, the members are focused on showing up this year. Less hype, more suprise.

so last year. lol

Scouts Alumni, and friends may wanna check out

Rumor has it that, Chris Komnick left his facebook on his laptop while George Hopkin's so cleverly hacked on, and posted the false information, so the Cadets wouldn't be the only corps to announce one show, then totally change their minds. :) lol I kid. I kid.

dude( or dudette ), Just do you. it's your marching years. Don't give a #### about what others say, I marched a different corps than the one i am now a part of. I enjoyed my experience but here, at the scouts for me, is where i created a home and thats all that matters, not what others think, or even scores reflect. Enjoy Academy.

I know of a few other members that went to scouts from top groups.

I think he might believe there is a medal for it... who knows. It's just rude honestly. You have the corp's director giving the approx. date to reveal the show. It isnt like 2011 where they kept us in the dark. Cmon now.

I think i would just wait til the show announcement that prob will be on 12.25

Funny to think Madison Scouts are following the footsteps of Phantom. Disagree. Scouts are not doing what phantom has done, but what Scouts have done, and even through the struggle of time, will continue to do. That is the only thing i think you can compare about the two corps... 2009 were "not their season" I will be honest, i dont reveal my name, but i dont bash other corps, but mearly cheer my corps on. And i would say, this: Im going to defend the corps i love as well... The Madison Scouts. Have you thought about this and ive noticed a few other threads, they dont mean exactly what they say. Bringing back Elsa, and Nessun Dorma (not going to lie i dont know too much about Phantoms history) can easily be stated as returning to those signature phantom regiment tunes, which could be mis-interpreted as returning to their roots, which the scouts have stated numerous of times for the 2010 season. So i see the reasoning someone would create this thread. Every corps will have its high years and its low years, but to say one is following the other, is a bit out of hand. Phantom Regiment made me a "phan" in 2010(although i have not watched spartacus, which i will here shortly :) ) SO I hope Phantom keeps up the good work. With That being said, I love the direction that my Scouts have taken the past two summers, and I cannot wait to see what they have in store for this summer. I know this isnt facebook. but i wanted you to know, that i liked this post :) I dont think its the case of one following the other, but the shear fact of them being themselves, sometimes in the moments of life, you have to look inside yourself and see the true you. That is what these two corps have done, i look inside myself and you look inside yourself, it doesnt mean that we followed one another, but we simply took a self-evaluation of where we were, where we are, and where we want to be. I love drum corps, and i love the kids that participate in this glorious activity, and i would not want the kids to think we dont care about their products that they put on the field. They care about what they do, lets care about that.

I am FAIRLY certian that they will be playing it in 2012, as an encore piece though. Or atleast one would hope.

I predict..... That the non-Madison Scouts fans...... will be irritated by the people in front of them when they stand up with a min. left til the end of the Scouts show....
