512 users! That has to be some sort of record also...

HIKE!

408 users hanging for the scores and your comments. Great job again, Kevin and his team.

It's worth a shot!

So, does anyone see any flip-flopping in the placings tonight?

DCI could take a lesson form DCA in that regard.

That's a big spread! Do you who were there think it was justified? Seems a bit much.

Things are going well, Jim. I'm sorry I missed the get together of Imperials. Haven't seen many of them in ages. I did see the pics and yes...everyone is starting to look like their parents, or in my case, our grandparents. LOL Was glad to hear your mom and dad are still with us and doing well. Hope all is going fantastic for you in China. Take care, my friend.

You guys know you did something right when Smoothy thinks the thread is smooth... Hello to my old friend Jim in China from Jerry. Bravo, Kevin, Key and all the crew!

You guys did a great job keeping us informed and entertained. Thanks to Kevin and all the team!

Has the rain stopped?

Alabama is leading 31-0 in the 2nd. LOL

Seems that the crowd appreciated Kidsgrove more than the judges?

Any thoughts on those scores?

I'm enjoying the commentary from you guys! Anyone willing to go out on a limb and guess the placements so far?

Thanks, Guys! All of your insights are truly appreciated. When we have the thoughts of experienced people who understand show construction, it makes following these threads so much more enjoyable and informative! Bravo, Gentlemen!

Thanks, Key! Since you are there, your thoughts on show and musical book construction would be much appreciated.

How many horns, drums, guard, etc.? Clean? Dirty? A little more info please.

there needs to be a rule that all DCA corps need to run at least one show for DCA member corps....if there isn't one already. They need to find a way to strengthen all regions and promote the founding of new corps and shows.

Yep, have to agree that ND sucks. They are in for a long season....... However......I think a more accurate analogy would be in DCI and how everyone cheers when BD loses. They are great and deserve what they get, but people like the championship to move around a bit.

It would be interesting to see if in fact anything of merit happens, but I doubt it will. It is more than reasonable to assume that most of the DCA member corps and their followers will be immersed with travel arrangements, details and housing in a new city for the 2012 championships and that will be where the focus will be aimed in the coming months.

It would be nice to see some eastern corps make the trip to the midwest. That could create more interest in the midwest to form a few new all-age corps and some more shows for the corps to compete in. Anything to counter how the activity has been shrinking because of DCI's touring model. DCA is the wave of the future for real corps.

Congratulations Minnesota Brass! It's been a long time coming. Looks like DCA is a horse race once again. This just makes things all the much more interesting for Annapolis next year. It's good to have tighter and more intense competition. DCA will only get better because of it. Also congrats to Kilties for finally getting off the snide and making finals and to Mike Phillips, nice job with Tampa Bay! Great job for a first year corps.

Make sure they duct tape the prop....ROFL

A big shout out to all the corps for having a great season! I 'm looking forward to the drive to Annapolis next year.
