It will be very interesting to see the crowd reactions to both groups next week. I would love to see SCV climb the ladder like Phantom did in 2008, although that would be extremely difficult to pull off.

You have a great point - I just wish DCI wouldn't call the package "Everything but Championships". It is (unintentionally) deceptive - just a poor name choice.

Just to clarify, this is NOT part of the broadcast tour package, so you will have to pay extra to watch this one

The broadcasts have been much better this year - until Friday night.

Same problems - I am on xfinity (comcast) in Spokane area

Yes. All of these would be cool additions. I also thought it would be slick if they could bring back the lights from last year's show, and have them turn on right before the brass turns around for the beginning hit of the summer storm section.

Welcome!

Based on having watched them (granted, not in person). It is just my guess. Saturday will tell us a lot, I think.

It will be very interesting on Saturday in MN. It looks to me like the scores from the Daytona show might be a couple of points high relative to BD/SCV.

Agreed, except I think it might be their best brass line since 1999.

Yes, DCI.org says Mountain Time Zone.

Have you seen Ralph, the wonder llama?

Disagree on your point of "prayers do nothing". Please be respectful of those of us who have beliefs other than yours. Thanks!

I agree. It has been very nice to see the improvement of the NW drum corps the last few years. Especially the last three, with the re-emergence of the Columbians, and the resurgence of the Cascades (happy 50th year!).

Yes, and one of only a couple of times in recent memory when SCV beat BD.

Thanks for sharing this. Just an FYI, I believe that this is the Gail Royer arrangement of SITC, and therefore, much revered by SCV fans and alumni. You may want to don your flame-retardant suit. (Be gentle, folks, she meant well.)

I am told that they will be at David Douglas HS.

I thought that 2014 arrangements sounded quite different than 2004 - different arrangers too, no?

I agree. My wife and I were 400 level, just inside the 35, and Crown seemed just a bit off, especially in the beginning. Crown seemed to feed off the crowd's energy as the show went on.

I think because two years ago was their 75th Anniv., not their 75th year.

Glitches here too.

Yes, it was. At one point, entering the field from anywhere except the Side 1 endzone was forbidden.

For PC, yes - a lot.

Same experience Sat. and Mon. with the same hardware. I can't seem to get the image to go full screen (it matches the format of the iPad). Is there a way to change that?

I think the last time SCV beat BD (outside of finals) was 2004 at the Seattle show, at what at that time called Qwest Field (now CenturyLink).
