Liahona, please yell in that booth it would be nice to hear the horns on the field, not just the speakers. posted from the DrumScorps app

Just tell us if they put the drum majors in the old uniforms like at the last home show. posted from the DrumScorps app

I was just going to suggest that posted from the DrumScorps app

Same zip code still. Get a picture of her so I know who to look out for at Chester later this season. posted from the DrumScorps app

Same here, bringing my daughter, a newbie to her first Live show. Great venue. Perfect weather tonight. Who remembers last year. Crazy storm blew through a few hours before the show. Since it's a soccer field the temporary painted yard lines kept washing away in the wet grass and they kept repainting them every other corps.

Does anyone know why the DCI website is not available. Been trying the last two days with no luck.

Do the Cadets dare try the Maroon on Thursday night, and the Black Friday ( or vice versa), and see which scores better with everything cleaned up during the week. Then go with whichever scored better on Saturday. There's probably never been a corps in a position to be able to do this before, but we have one now.

This always makes me think of the movie Seven.... Awwww What's In The Box!!!

Side bar competition tonight. In honor of American Idol auditions in Philly tomorrow, tonight its DCI Divas. Troopers, Colts, Crossmen, Boston Crusaders. All in a row, all female vocalists, all very talented. Which corps wins the ticket to Hollywood for best incorporation into the show.

Just started raining here in Northeast Philly. Should be gone in plenty of time.... He said with hope.

Can anyone think of the last time there was a legitimate 3 horse race this late in the season.

Weirdo here as well. Faster rain, you can play through.

107 Row T

Will be there, center section, six rows from the top. Hoping the storms blow through earlier in the day. Any DCPers that bought VIP seats also spring for the pre-show reception up in the stadium club?

INT, went back on the live stream to catch the first two open class corps I missed. Louisiana Stars, where did this come from? Wow!

Phantoms Phractured Phairy Tales. Velvet Knights tribute show.

Should be a great night. New endings, one a debut, others getting cleaned. I have an interesting social experiment happening tonight. On one side I'll have a few friends that have become big fans of the activity in the last few years, and this will be their first time seeing a show live. And on the other my 77 year old dad. He started as a fan in the 60's in his Army Band days. He would wake me up in my young years to come down and watch the finals on PBS in the late 70's. Followed me around in the mid 80's through high School Band and my brief Drum Corps career. And we would attend Allentown together for a bunch of years. His last live show would be back in '89. Will be interesting to see his impression of it now with the amps, mic's, narration, vocals etc... He's never been that "old way was better" type of guy. So I'll be curious to hear the results.

Does anyone have any info on the West Chester show as far as what time the gates open.

With talk of a possible new ending, do they dare contemplate the idea of bringing back the deconstructing/reappearing company front from '87? Could it ever have the same impact?

How about a banner for the Couchmen?

Blue Devils - Summer Train Blues Mix Would love to see this show get the current BD treatment.

Here comes that part of the show, the pit feature. Time for the big visuals on the field. But how often does it happen, you hear something so different that you find yourself watching the percussionists instead of what's on the field. For me it was always the Vanguard Percussion Feature of '84. The Crossmen had a warmup back in '08 of the Beatles Across The Universe that was wonderful if you ever had a chance to hear it. I must say the pit break of Crown this year is becoming a favorite. Not about how many notes, just something that makes you take notice. What are some other favorite pit moments out there?

Another vote for 1987 Cadets.
