  1. If you want your ideals to get heard, come volunteer with the corps. You could trap JD somewhere everyday and give him your wildest ideals. Much more likely to get your ideals through than just posting them on here
  2. I live in a military community and most of my social life is with retired Special Ops people. They are always complaining about how lazy gen Z is and how they have no motivation. I challenge them to come to a DCI practice and see these kids working their butts off. They are the nicest and most polite kids you see anywhere. That is why I spend a great deal of my summer volunteering with Drum Corps. Whatever ills may effect the younger generation the kids in DCI are a positive beam of light for the future. I think some of the music choices intended to appeal to the younger crowd are not neccessarily good for the art form , I prefer more traditional shows. But I don't think anyone here attacks the kids, most of the scorn here is for designers who don't know the corps capabilities and design shows above or below what the kids are capable of. Or corps admin who don't put taking care of teh kids first. I have issues with some judging, but I would help the corps just as much if they were in 19th place as i I would if they were a contender for the top spot. I would like to see better scores for "my" Corps, but that is not why I help and again whatever the score we are still going to help the kids.
  3. I think Luke Combs is related to Sean "Puff Daddy" Combs.
  4. SCV has been my favorite corps since 85, but I just can't latch on to this show. Maybe if they were wearing flannel shirts and woolly caps it would translate better
  5. So I am looking for the Colts to pass Blue knights today. I think placed next to each other Colts will have the better show. I am hoping that Phantom Regiment does well, but based on previous outings I don't see them moving up in spite of my online lobbying
  6. Tuned in late, but best sound I have had from flo this year
  7. I thought that was a nice show by Cavies. Wish I were seeing it live and not on flo/ I complain about flo every time, but I still watch every week.
  8. That is actually cheaper than ticket master. I think fees for finals were about $15 per ticket https://www.facebook.com/rockrageradiolive/photos/a.725382797516810/5298547916866919/
  9. I was an Artillery Officer. I spent a lot of time in Lawton, though I never remember seeing a DCI show come near while I was there. Percussive Art had a neat little Museum there in the 90's. " What's the sound of Artillery" "Boom !! Boom!!" " Move Shoot Communicate" "Boom !! Boom!" was our marching cadence. The Field Artillery Museum om Fort Sill is worthwhile to visit. They have atomic cannons, plus one of the original ENIAC computers. One of my old bosses is the Museum Curator there now.
  10. I am pretty sure you didn't see Phantom Regiment last night
  11. In Dekalb PR was off, but they looked like they had it together tonight, Can't see a whole lot watching on Flo, but I expected a better showing in the scorebox.
  12. I am disappointed that the Cavies are still doing standstills, However I understand member health and safety have to be the top priority. I am home right now with Covid and it def sucks.
  13. It looks like Colt Cadets will get a higher score tonight than Phantom Regiment, Bluecoats, or the Cavaliers.
